Hyundai Elantra accident in Ayala Alabang village

[uls]

vinj:

Famous last words indeed.

And it's true where things just seem soo slow and you remember almost every millisecond as you brake a car that's out of control, before the impact and that scary silence within right after. What really hit me was two things:
- I learned how it was to have no control over the car.
- I almost killed my closest friends. Just imagine my thoughts when i was at their weddings and the baptisms of their kids years later. Things that could have never been because of me being stupid at the wheel of a car.

yup

i experienced losing control of the car a number of times... it's an almost unreal feeling... time does slow down

Neo! ... we have been looking for you!

from the topgear link:

Never use a car for joyride purposes;

umm... isnt that what cars are for? hehe

Never use a car to show off to your friends;

yan ang sinasabi ko recipe for disaster

A car is a deadly weapon, kaya dapat mahigpit ang pag issue ng license. Bawal talaga tanga tulad ng mga jeep, bus at motor.

It's fun to have a car. But if you're not responsible enough, pwede mo rin ikamatay yun.

Dumaan na rin ako sa ganyan, although thankfully di pa naman ako nagkaron ng major crash. Couple of fender benders, yes.. pero wala pa naman yung muntik ko na ikamatay. Guess thanks to my dad, when I had my license.. hindi niya kaagad ako hinayaan gamitin yung kotse without him inside the vehicle. He allowed me when he thought I was responsible and careful enough.

Baka ilang weeks palang nakakahawak ng sasakyan yung bata. And alam niyo naman siguro, yung mga una unang hawak niyo talagang piga sa accelerator agad hinahangad nyo.

Adrenaline rush eh...

Kawawa lang yung mga magulang nila, especially yung Syyap family... dalawa agad natanggal.

Kung magkaron ako ng anak, it's ok to go out... grab a couple of drinks... pero kapag alam ko iinom sila, bibigyan ko sila ng driver.

RIP to the kids. The parents should have really taught their kids responsible driving.

[Harangody]

Hindi na ko dumaan sa stage na yan, kasi 2nd month pa lang nag pag da-drive naka bungo na agad ako. Sa traffic yun, naka-neutral yung car tapos nag forward nung na release ko yung break. After nun defensive driving and alert na.

[Chikselog]

Proper na pagdisiplina talaga lalo na sa teens na new drivers pa lang. I'm still more or less on this age bracket na medyo gigil pa (I'm 20). But what my father always taught me, defensive driving at all times, malaking bagay sya as he kind of implanted that on my mind. Sometimes I compare myself to my colleagues na ka-age ko and agad kong napansin ako pinakamabagal magpatakbo hehe. Paranoid kasi ako baka may biglang sumulpot or what, makabangga pa ako. Awa ng Diyos, in my 4 years pa lang of driving wala pa akong accident.

Bawal na magtayo ang Meralco ng mga poste nila sa Ayala-Alabang!

Seriously .. Way back during my HS years, I was given the "priviledge" in driving a car to school. It was a metallic blue 1967 Mercury Cougar, 4.9 Windsor V8, with a 3 speed Borg-Warner tranny.

But, it did not make much of a difference either ... Chicks back then prefer the newer Telstar's, Galants, Laser's, Lancer's .. etc. Friends teased me in driving a "batmobile" ... or an auto-funebre (hearse) .. plus it made a gaping hole in my allowance because it needs gallons of gas! .....

That was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. :D

I guess you're in your late 50s or early 60s by now. :D

[vinj]

plus 10% ba speed?

I had my first car when I was in college, a hand me down Nissan Maxima. For me it was the faster car in the world! Hehe, those were the days.

May leeway daw... parang NLEX lang. :D

Mabilis naman talaga yung Maxima. Mabilis din lumaklak ng gas with it's 2.0L carb engine.

That was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. :D

Nako... huwag mo in-underestimate si lowslowbenz. Juma-jumper cable pa yan sa chicks.

Kung HS siya at uso ang Telstar and Laser, 1980s yan.

Pwede nga gumawa ng batas ang mga politiko. Banning trees, lamp posts and walls from any vicinity near a road. Bawal na rin ang teenager sa mga kotse na may H... nakakamatay daw.

OT: Am old enough to say that I've been there, and I've done that ....

BTT: Hyundai is not at fault here, they sell cars not tanks. Kahit Benz pa yan. (example: Princess Diana accident)


Pero, malamang may buhay pag Benz at naka seatbelt ... IMHO

[Harangody]

OT: Kahit Benz pa yan. (example: Princess Diana accident)

May conspiracy si OB about this.

Wooh. Brought back memories din. Ngayon ko lang ulit narinig/nabasa yung Telstar and Galant. Those were the days talaga. At least kanina i was driving behind a rundown Lancer box type... pero Telstar, Galant and Laser wala na yata ako nakikita. Nipis din kasi ng kaha mga ito... or at least yung Telstar and Laser.

Sorry sa konting OT.

[kulugo]

wasted lives... kawawa yung dad...
didn't you used to feel jealous over the kid who was able to bring a car in HS? I know I did.

I'm amazed at the insensitive comments at the other forums and news websites, these kids are about as old as your nephews and sons. I don't really care about the pictures, it must have been a terribly gruesome scene, you wouldn't want to see your sons and nephews in that state. Condolences to the families.

The kids were skateboarders, they're not the rich brats some think they were, just living the fast life as we were when we were kids. Drinking, driving, we're all guilty, even in our adult lives. Lets all consider ourselves lucky for still being here and surviving all our driving indiscretions.

Don't blame the kids, don't blame the parents, pray for them, I just can't imagine the pain they must be going through.
