Foolish drivers. Ano bang problema nyo?!

[oldblue]

talaga? ano raw psychological reason?

badtrip nga mga ganyan...argh. sarap banggain yung rear quarter panel tapos i-T-bone sa inis.

passive-aggressive daw ito mga taong ito. it could be both ways they were a victim of a previous misfortune (not limited to car freak accident, but all crises in life) and made them paranoid or fearful or vengeful. walang closure na nangyari. when you confront them, like for instance, takutin mo by threatening to sideswipe/ram his/her car, they become too aggressive, hence road rage, at pag minalas malas ka pa baka sundan hanggang pauwi hehehe. or it could be another way, like yun mag-freeze na lang sila sa takot and the car makes an abrupt stop in the middle of the road.

now, if you're going to ask me kumbakit mga bus, jeep, fx, tricycle drivers ganito din ang behaviour sa kalsada? hindi ko alam hehehe, maybe they're just plain dumb or plain greedy!

Maybe this is the only time wherein they have any kind of power so they don't know how to handle it. Once they get down from their vehicles they're just normal poor people with very low status. imho

yan pinakahate ko sa lahat nasa middle of two lanes. I had a conversation with a psychologist before, may possible mental/emotional problem daw ang mga tao na subsconsciously nag-drive sa middle lane lalo na yun pinapagitna talaga yun tsikot nya sa road markings. kaya kung ganun kayo mag-drive, I suggest you see a psychologist hehehe

Para sakin, I.Q.-related yang driving in the middle of two lanes. Habang nag-d-drive ka, hindi mo ba natanong sa sarili mo: Bakit nga ba merong linya yung kalsada? Bihira din kasi yung uma-attend sa driving school para ituro yung keep your vehicle in one lane.

I think it is simply because almost none of them went to driving school. And also, they don't have peers (or barkada/tropa) tulad nitong Tsikot, where they can discuss these driving practices. Kung ano yung crowd nila, yun ang driving culture na matututunan nila.

Another problem is that on most of our roads, wala na yung lane markings, kaya mas mahirap mag stay sa tamang lane, like on edsa, on other roads like the SLEX (most)drivers tend to stay in the lanes since the markings are clearly visible.

add ko lang, even before the adventure incident as mentioned earlier in this thread, i was harrassed by transit buses, one nearly cost me a wing mirror on the right. sadly, nagbigay na lang ako nung lagay na iyon. then after nung pina-una ko na yung bus, aba lech, two lanes ang sinakop, running at about 30 kph, nananadya pa, pag-iiwas ako, humaharang. hehehe. hindot.

Napansin ko 'pre, parang this is the first time you were harassed like this while driving. Hehe. If you have been driving here in the Philippines for years, you would have been immune by now.

[ILuvDetailing]

Yup kulang sa training, road etiquet, common sense, etc... tsk tsk tsk. and what does the Police/MMDA do about it? wala... palaging private hinuhuli.

[ian_rex]

correct ka dyan, ILD. if we want better drivers and safer roads, then there should a campaign to educate motorists and pedestrians or passengers. however, if we would rely to the government alone, this seemed impossible. syempre kelangan ng budget dyan. what we ought to do is to impose a stiffer penalty and stricter policy on applying for a drivers' license, especially to the PUV sector.

IPSG: nope, i'm just sharing my thoughts. immune? should we be immuned by a lack of discipline? i don't think so. i've had my share, believe me. what we are trying establish here in tsikot, that a tsikoteer must be wary of road courtesy, discipline, etc. and somehow, this is a better start to educate drivers lacking skills.

[morrissey_05]

these things piss me off too. pero trying to nudge the guy into the proper lane was, i think dangerous. pabayaan mo na lang sya. malay mo may kausap sa phone or something and he wasnt paying any attention to the lanes. or he does have some psychological thing.

i think that it is enough to overtake them, and hopefully never have to encounter them on the road anymore.

[charmander]

Maybe this is the only time wherein they have any kind of power so they don't know how to handle it. Once they get down from their vehicles they're just normal poor people with very low status. imho

i definitely agree on this. not just public utility drivers. plus the fact that they know they have nothing to lose.

[ozcity]

hehe nung kumuha nga ng drivers license yung tita ko dyan sa LTO..pinag drive sya ng owner type jeep isang abante at paatras...ayos pasado..

dito nga..hindi mahalaga na marunong ka mag drive...ang mahalaga sa kanila is on how to follow the rules....magaling ka ngang mag drive hindi mo naman alam ang road rules and regulation...

[erict]

sana wala sa mga members natin (tsikot) ang kabilang sa mga ganitong driver )

[ian_rex]

can't say, pero ako, i always make my point to nudge the driver back to the proper lane whether private or PUV. just make it swift.

[russpogi]

Pwede bang maglabas ng sama ng loob?

It happened dawn, Sunday 20 Nov (around 2am yata). Pauwe na kme ng tropa from Las Piñas going to Makati sa Coastal Road. Napansin ko na may red na Expedition na 8 plaka (tong-gressman!) tapos may L-300 na back up na naka-hazard light. Ok naman yung Expe pero tarantado talaga yung L-300 kse ba naman, it was taking up two lanes at a time. On one point, I want to pass kse uwing uwe na kmeng lahat (Lancer dala ko that time), eh yung lintek na L-300 ayaw akong padaanin eh sya nakaharang sa daan ko. So uminit agad ulo ko at ginitgit ko yung tangang L-300 then nilagpasan ko. Ogag talaga tapos nag-wang-wang pa! Eh ano ngayon?! Pohtah! Meron din ako dati nyan! (sa dati kong tsikot pero tinanggal ko na). Ang sakin lang, why the hell does he have to occupy two lanes whereas pwede naman sya sa likod ng amo nya! Sobrang abala sa mga katulad nating simpleng mamamayan!!! Pasalamat sya that I didn't had the patience to write the plate# of the L-300 and kicked their stupid asses sa Batasan! ggggggrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

senysa na mga chong.....thinking out aloud lang po. :fire:

[erict]

russpogi, since 2AM na yon baka lasing lang ang mga yon! galing kasi si congresman sa Pasay area basta ingat lang sa may Coastal Road na yan.

[RafRaf]

the driver, was obviously suprised, because, there's a jerking movement to left after i passed him. but i guess, i pissed him because he tried to retaliate by having his beams switched to high. in your dreams kiddo, you're still way too slow.

hmmm... parang you also did something wrong here, thus also aggravating the other driver. maybe a little honk would have helped.

[tunasashimi]

estimated daily occurences of the following: (at least sa akin lang, travelling the fairview-commonwealth-katipunan-libis route daily)

1. muntik akong masagi, mabangga, mabawasan ng side mirror, or similar happenings - 3 times on the average.

2. may nag-cut sa akin na muntik kong mabangga - 2 - 3 times.

3. may motorsiklo na muntik kong mabangga - once a day.

4. may pedestrian na muntik baguhin ang itsura ng bumper ko, o suicidal siya - once a week.

5. other incidents of similar nature, that could cause fender benders or damage that would not reach the minimum participation sa insurance - 3 times.

hindi na umiinit ang ulo ko sa mga ganito. pagtawanan niyo na lang sila, mapapansin niyo, bababa ang blood pressure niyo, gaganda ang outlook sa buhay, at magiging makulay ang daigdig.

NLEX kagabi...

I was signalling to go to the left for about a few seconds already... when I was already going the the left lane, a Rav4 SV suddenly appeared out of nowhere and almost hits me my left side. what I did then was to shift back to my lane and just matched his speed... inipit ko na lang sa mababagal na nasa left and harapan niya.

pagdating sa tollgate... overloaded yung Rav4... bagsak yung rear suspension... then may blue ground lights (na ambaduy naman) sa harapan. buset talaga.
