earlier this afternoon along c5 valle verde u-turn slot may nagkabanggaan. One was like a mitsu na l300 schoolbus and 1 was a toyota echo i think. Meron na mmda tapos yun dalawang drivers nagtatalo nung padaan na kami naghahamunan at inaawat na ng mmda kasi parang nagkakatulakan na. Parang gusto ko sigawan kotse lang yan pwede niyo pa ipagawa pero mukha niyo hindi na!

Wooot wooo!!! pag kamuka ni Christian Bale yan iba ang isisigaw mo...

ahahaha ay typppeeee!!!

yeah easier said than done nga naman. pero against ako sa may mga dalang baril. sorry ha, nde dapat kase dinadala yan eh. panakot man o nde...

Kaya relaxing ang mag drive ng magisa

hehehe true. i talk to myself pag mag isa lang. amp. therapeutic ha. hehehe

when i first started driving, sobrang aggressive, speed-sucker and grabe ang road rage. Ngayon...ganun pa den. hehehe siguro nga the best thing to do is count one to ten bago mag react sa kung ano man on the road. it helps.

hehehe. depende yun kung papatol ka pero kung purpose mo lang mang asar di pagkasabi sabay sibat

ive been driving for nearly a year now... and i found out that having an ipod lessens my stress level and makes me relaxed while driving... because it takes my mind of the traffic and stupid drivers around me. my motto: keep it cool. but i dont drive slow... i drive fast when needed ...

its soo funny seeing people steaming during traffic haha... i guess nakakatulong din un init if u dont have A/C.

akala ko kaya you pop the trunk agad is to stuff the guy in the trunk and dump the body sa antipolo

but seriously... drivers now a days drive slowly tapos in the middle of 2 lanes pa... so walang maka over take.. pag binusinahan mo sila pa galit. pag nag overtake sasadyain na sasabayan ka... happened to all of us for sure... kaya isipin mo na lang na you're a better driver, educated and responsible... pinababayaan ko na lng and pray he turns in a corner and gets out of your way...

That's the attitude of a happy and contented life. Most, if not all hotheads are frustrated about something in their lives. I'm no psychology major, but I've experienced having a short fuse as a result of being pissed about something else. I've also noticed that I tend to be more forgiving if I've got something to be happy about.

So next time you people meet a hotheaded jerk out there, just bring it to mind that there's got to be a reason for their foul disposition. At that point, you've definitely got a lot more to lose than a loser like that.

Keep your car clean and shiney... its a good stress reliever.

[empy]

i think the thread starter handled it the right way. everybody makes mistakes, sometimes dangerous ones, but the important thing is he acknowledged and apologized. wala naman lasting damage yung ginawa niya so dapat pinagpasensyahan na.

sometimes, i'm a real hothead too when someone does something really stupid on the roadways, but when they apologize to me nawawala ang galit ko. nahihiya pa nga ako na sinigawan ko sila o binigyan ng dirty finger or whatever...

[scarab]

....the last time i encountered a hot headed driver na naghamon pa ng away kahet kasalanan niya eh pinalakpakan ko lang for giving such a nice acting performance. ayun, natawa pa yung ibang tao dahil nagmukha siyang gago.

...but honestly, di ko alam gagawin ko kung binabaan nila ako nun. 2 silang mukhang kargador tapos magisa lang ako.

[KCboy]

if a persons apologizes or admits the mistake, we as educated ppl should alsolearn to accept ones apology.

tama si m54powered, minsan galitin ka but pag kita mo nag sorry, kaw pa mahihiya for being hot headed.

ok din yung mga tao na pag pinadaan mo, nag ththank you. we should have more drivers like these so lahat tayo will be ok.

[mazdamazda]

that is why I don't open my windows no matter what... mahirap nang magkarinigan ng murahan, etc.

Hey guys, I don't know if there's an existing topic like this, but if not, I'd just like to bring it up.

Well yesterday morning on my way to school, I was kinda rushing not to be late. Further on, there was a car in front of me that was driving kinda slow and I used my horn to remind him to speed up a little bit. Well would say that I was wrong that time because I realized there were humps there. After crossing the intersection in Belair-Jupiter on our way to the Vito Cruz area, there's this kinda long road just after sa likod ng Mapua going to the Toyota Makati dealer na maraming nakapark na taxi.

When we were cruising down that road I decided to finally overtake him because he's not going any faster despite of a few horns I did. I took a look at the incoming lane and noticed it was safe to do an overtake since the incomng armored truck I saw was far enough for me to be able to execute it, and the road was basically open. I took the left lane and started to try and overtake and I noticed he purposely speed up, probably so that I would not be able to overtake. I would say we weren't driving over 70kph when we were already beside each other. I was able to be ahead but I realized the armored truck was already approaching near me, so I took a desperate turn back to our lane knowing that I was already able to have enough distance so I won't collide with the car I overtook with.

I saw on my rear view mirror that other car had put on his brakes and I also heard some screeching noise. I immediately stopped realizing that I needed to give even a sign of apology to the person driving. Then the other car started to go ballistic with his horns and then nangigitgit even though I already stopped. He pulled down the rear passenger window and starting yelling the hell out, cursing, and nanghahamon ng suntukan. I really couldn't figure out what he kept on saying but you can probably guess what an angry driver says. :D I pulled down my window and just kept saying sorry's and I was freakishly sincere with it and kept on just gesturing my hands ng sorry, all in all, because I know almost everything were mostly my fault. He wasn't contented with his cursing and he decided to go down the car and headed my side. I had to think quick because I didn't want to get into a fight with someone a bit older and larger than me (he's a college student, I am too :D ). So I pulled up my window and he slammed it with his hand, then went back to his car and drove off.

Well I think we do study in the same school cause we both seemed to be going the same direction but I park somewhere else.

Anyway, analyzing the whole situation, how it went, and how it should have went to me is driving me crazy. I know that I was wrong in trying to overtake, but hell, there was basically nothing wrong with what I tried to do given the circumstances that was there. Alam naman nating lahat ang tamang tancha dito. I wouldn't have overtaken if it was alanganin or anything. Siguro naman lahat tayo ditong mga nagddrive nagoovertake given the right circumstances. Now I'm feeling that I should have at least confronted the guy back. I was very apologetic and all he kept doing was swearing and trying to start a fight. I just don't see how people would go to this extent just because of this, while there wasn't any accident even taking place in the first place. Probably the main reason why I didn't get arrogant that time was I knew that I was MOSTLY wrong, and he was basically bigger than me and getting into a fight with him would be just very stupid.

Well, please share your views, don't flame me though, if you will, please do it in a nicer way, hehe! How would you react to that event or anything similar with regards to "away trapiko"? How will you deal when you are confronted with such thing? What is the best thing to do when in a situation when you are dealing with a hot headed driver?

Thanks Tsikot Brothers!!

aha! a classic case of a 'road rage' incident. honestly, it's not your fault. the other party, well for the obvious reason... i'll say no further

but to deal with your dilemma, we've got many solutions. the results may vary. if it was me (actually, didn't happened yet, but read on), the first thing i'll do is to drive on. no apologies whatsoever. why, because to make it simple, if you are going than faster than him, i see no reason why he should hold you up in the first place. besides, it is ILLEGAL to speed up when being overtaken.

should the circumstance came to confrontation, then i'll stand my ground but not alight from the vehicle. there is no need. if damages were to incur on your vehicle, then simply get the license plate then have it blottered, and possibly sue them for damage of property. or simply when you say the other party getting of the car, then drive off. kinda funny don't you think?

however, such could be avoidable. if i may suggest that if you plan to execute overtaking maneuver then do it swiftly and safely. don't bother to honk the horn or flash the light (which really irritates any driver). or in your case, don't ever stop. it gave the other party a chance to retaliate.

ok?

drive safely!


P.S.
a bortherly advise. don't ever do that again, if don't have the guts.

[kotiko]

Well obviously if I just drive on and not imply any sign of apology then logically the other driver would chase me down (probably as long as he could) and try to stop me by using his vehicle (mangigitgit and everything hanggang ma-corner ako), or worst case get me into a chasing predicament which may cause a bigger harm :D

[oldblue]

ako I always hold dry runs sa traffic manuevering kahit na walang emergency. you'll never know when you'll need that skill. the only way to beat an aggressive driver is
passive-aggressive behaviour. I let him win, then I provoke, if he/she gets provoked and chases me, I Let him win again. If he gets too aggressive to the point that he's rolling his windows to curse me, even If I have conceded, I'll cut another innocent car but not too aggressive. Two things can happen here: he'll stop and conclude that I'm not worthy & an idiot coz I've been cutting other cars too or there will be two cars chasing me hehehe if that happens, I'll go to Plan B, the escape plan (been working out scenarios with this one)








he can

[quiksie]

ok din yung mga tao na pag pinadaan mo, nag ththank you. we should have more drivers like these so lahat tayo will be ok.

present! haha

Pag may nagawang mali sa akin yun ibang drivers napapailing nalang ako. Pero pag mainit ulo ko i give them the finger or baba windows pero sobra madalang lang ko ito gawin
