Feeling VIP with police escorts

[BaRLeY]

Mga tol what can you say about this Politicians (mostly) with police escorts who feels like they own the road? Di ba nila alam na ang pinapatabi nila are the ones paying their salary? How would they know how ordinary people feel when they can't even face traffic? In my opinion this kind of BS should be stopped. Ordinary people have important things to do too.

that's a long time rant...

other rants:

a. kamaganak ng politiko na may police escort.
b. kamaganak ng politiko na walang police escort pero may wang-wang.
c. mga police escorts na nag eescort ng patay.


duh..

mas magulat ka kung magkano per day ang escorts. 2k ata. kung dalawa 4k. imagine papunta at pauwi ka lang, 4k na kagad per day.

It is a long time rant because not enough people do something about it. If you feel strongly about it, then do something.

I personally don't give way unless they are really authorized to have police escorts. But I do give the benefit of doubt to ambulances. I also give way to funeral escorts, especially those with long convoys, as a matter of respect to the dead and for practical reasons.

But for the rest, the devil be damned. I have discovered, as camera phones become ubiquitous, those guys have become more and more scared of confrontations lest they be publicized in newspapers or discussed in Internet forums like this one.

I have noticed that a lot of people seem to have taken a similar stance as I see more and more escorted vehicles stuck in traffic, their sirens wailing stupidly. Hopefully if more people follow, then the appeal (and/or effectiveness) of having escorts will wane.

nakakainis nga yung mga me escort, e magshoshopping lang naman kabit nila, its a foolosh thing to give way to them, kung ambulance i give way, kung iba, depende, if i possibly cant give way or if there be a change for me not to move to the side, say, rough, uncemented road, i wont! pare pareho lang tao ng kinakain, they should humble us, its us who put them into office

I just ignore them. Bahala sila.

A Ford Expedition kept flashing strobes and waling his siren on me, I put my digicam out the window and took a snapshot of him. Namatay ang mga strobes, tumahimik ang sirena.

We all know they have other sources of income...

Doc Otep, ok yun ah. Papparazzi yung dating hehe.

Yan siguro yung mga dapat na tinatapunan na alambre ng payong parang sa C5...

Usually pag light yung traffic, hatawin ko na lang unahan ko pa sila sa bagal din nila. Habang nandun ako sa harap pinapanood ko sila sa rearview mirror tatawa na lang ako ang bagal kasi (logistics=mahirap talaga pag convoy/escort) tapos oras na malapit, hataw ulit hehe.
