hazard light

[Alpha_One]

Pag malakas ang ulan at nakakita ako ng naka-hazard sa gitna ng daan, ina-assume ko na that the car is crawling forward. Idiot naman yun kung pumara sa gitna ng naka-hazard lang o kaya may death wish.

Kung papara ka naman kahit sa gilid, kailangan mag-ewd on top of the hazard. Hindi ka sasantuhin ng truck kahit anong hazard mo.

Practicality lang. Wala naman sa US ng ulan at truck/PUB drivers na gaya dito eh.

Pwede mo rin idagdag ang stalled, in-an-accident, or otherwise disabled car sa iyong assumptions.

You'd be surprised how many cars don't carry any EWDs. Oo kelangan. Kelangan rin tumigil pag red light, diba?!

Out on the road you can NEVER, NEVER, NEVER make assumptions. People ASSUME right-of-way is theirs. Or ASSUME that they can drive home after a couple of drinks. Others just assume "It won't happen to me"! Riiiight...

These kinds of assumptions are unsafe and totally irresponsible. I don't want to sound preachy, but come on! Sa dami-dami ba naman ng siraulong nagpapalit ng gulong sa gitna ng EDSA, eh maga-ASSUME pa tayo ng tatabi ang mga tao with matching EWD?! Yes they are idiots! Yes idiots exist and there are more of them than you think! While making all these misguided assumptions, you also assume that everyone can make intelligent decisions like you (obviously, they can't)! Think about that for a moment!

Ay hindi pala, we can make one assumption. We must all assume that everyone on the road is an idiotic homicidal maniac who is out to get you. Pag ganoon ang assumption the roads would be really, really safe.
