Ingat (Korea MaNobela)

[acis]

Okay, sensya na sa mga Koreans, my bad. Pansin ko lang kase yung foreigner drivers na na-encounter ko lately ay mga mukhang Korean.

I think pwedeng baguhan lang yung nabanggit kong drivers (maraming ganung baguhang driver sa daan). Nahihirapang mag focus steering through traffic while nakatutok sa pag timpla ng clutch, gas, signal lights. etc. which is napaka delikado.

Pwede ring shocked sila sa driving style dito sa Pilipinas. I believe makaka-adjust din sila sa "rules of engagement" sa kalsada naten.

I was in the same situation nung nagdrive ako sa US, hirap ako sa mga intersection na walang traffic lights. Ako nabubusinahan ng ibang drivers doon. Hindi nga ako nakagamit ng busina dun sa abroad. Masyadong mabilis ang flow ng traffic pero maayos.

Please drive defensively, and intelligently. Peace.

yun koreano sa'min nagkabit pa ng police sticker sa CRV nya

[judoman]

pero hindi naman dahil involved ang ibang lahi is racist na ang dating. siguro based din sa observations dahil sa MOST number of cases. nagkataon lang na ang pang-label natin is yung tawag sa lahi nila. siguro yung being racist is yung paglalabel sa mga lahi ng masamang remarks due to HATE alone or sa mga kadahilanan na katulad nun. naobserve lang siguro ni sir na ganun without having the "hate" thing sa simula.

di mawawala yung misunderstanding ng iba't iabng lahi pag nilagay sa iisang environment dahil iba iba ang upbringing at culture. pero katulad ng sabi ko kanina..siguro nga purely based on observations siguro yung sa ibang drivers na nakakapagcomment sa mga fellow koreans.

ganyan talaga pagiging tao sa mundo siguro siguro siguro..

jan na siguro pumapasok yung napost dito na nagagaya na nila driving styles ng most pinoys.. or style. diba most of our kababayans din naglalagay ng police stickers kahit hindi pulis. (dito pulis isa..buong kamag-anakan pulis na.. mga foolish) akala siguro nila ganun dito. after nila mag-observe observe.. di kaya?

Pero, abuso pa rin ito.....

hmphh... kahit kapwa pinoy nga ang hirap mag-adjust eh.

I do had a korean classmate once. I saw him complaining in a pc store. matagal daw yung service. yes, he was arrogant. but then when he left, the deskgirl was saying like "this is not korea".

^^^yun ang mas nakakbwisit kung sinasabi na "in Korea we are ganun, ganito" eh kung ganun dapat bumalik na sila doon at umalis na dito sa Pilipinas...

Agree. Ang dami na nila rito sa Pinas. Sa MOA, mapapansin na marami na talagang Koreans dito. Nagkalat sila roon.

[CoDer]

Ayun, so hindi nga alam. Talagang napakaraming hindi nakaka alam nito.

Sa driving skul pinasukan ko hindi ito tinuro. Sa exam ng non-pro wala nito. D lalo mga madlang drivers dyan d ito alam.

Sa A1 manual ko lang ito nabasa. At actually LTO ang nagpapatupad nito. Infact ito lang ang written na batas. Ang batas sa kalye, nasa likod ka, ikaw me kasalanan.

Naun being a defensive driver, alam mo na na hindi nga ito nalalaman ng marami. So pag nagka aksidente na lang(knock on wood), panlaban mo na lang ito.

On the topic... napaka bad rep na ng mga Koreans d2.

From LTO

Right of Way Rules are:
1.) First Time Vehicle Rule
At all intersections without "stop" or "yield" signs, slow down and prepare to stop. Yield to vehicles already in the intersection or about to enter it.
2.) Same Time Vehicle Rule
At all intersections without "stop" or "yield" signs (or with stops in all directions). Yield to the vehicle on your right if it has reached the intersection of same time as your vehicle.
3.) Stop Signs
Stop at any limit line or crosswalk. Yield to all approaching vehicles on the through street, go only when it is safe for you to cross. Approaching vehicles should slow down and allow you to get across safely.
4.) Left Turn
Signal left turn and yield to approaching traffic until it is completely safe to finish the turn.
5.) Rotonda
Vehicles around the rotunda have the right-of-way over vehicles which are just about to enter.
When entering a highway from a driveway, yield the right-of-way to traffic on the highway. Never insist on taking the right-of-way if other drivers are not following the rules, let them have the right-of-way even if it belongs to you to prevent possible accidents, however, do not always insist on other going ahead of you, slowing and stopping may delay the flow of traffic.

TS falls on rule 1, hindi na yield ang approaching vehicle kahit paliko na sya, review mo uli A1 manual mo tsong. Hold your ground system ang gusto mong mangyari abay disgrasya aabutin mo nyan sa daan.

I always have our security guard assist me when I'm getting out of our driveway, dahil ang daming tangang driver na ang layo na nga nila ayaw pang mag yield dahil nasa right of way daw sila. Minsan pag galit na ako sa kakaantay na may mag bigay, bigla ko na lang inaatras ang koste marunong naman palang mag brake ang mga tanga. Para sa mga tanga sa daan...

Ang batas sa kalye, nasa likod ka, ikaw me kasalanan.

Kahit ikaw ang inatrasan?!

Bigayan lang sa daan, para iwas disgrasya.

Pasensya na po sa OT.

a friend of my bro who is a Teacher of Korean kids here. is treated with less repect kasi pinoy nga. it's unfair, but they are just kids who hear bad things about us from their parents. this is not generalization though. but maybe that's how that individual driver thinks.

[Paolo123]

*coDer ok yung rules na pinost mo. I think the TS situation falls on rule number 4

Then, eto last weekend lang from SM Sta. Rosa ako. Ako naman yung liliko pakaliwa, signal ako to turn left, then syempre slow down to stop. Malayo pa yung kasalubong kong van running at 40-50kph. Pormang liliko na ako, Putek! Yung van parang babangain ako at hindi hihinto!! hindi nag yield. Napansin ko yung driver mukhang Korean na naman, merong kausap sa cellphone.. at parang wala rin nakitang kasalubong, di-nedma lang ako.

4.) Left Turn
Signal left turn and yield to approaching traffic until it is completely safe to finish the turn.

He was not going straight in an intersection thats why this doesnt fall under rule 1. The TS needs to make sure that the coast is clear before he could turn left as stated by rule number 4.

[CoDer]

Heheheee... Basta bigayan lang sa daan Paolo123, nasa rule din yun. Nakalagay din dun ang provision for pesky drivers, give way to them but not all the time. Though the TS was not the pesky driver here. Been in the same case a lot of time before, yung tipong labas na yung nguso ng sasakyan mo then bigla nilang (approaching vehicle) bibilisan ang takbo nila, or ayaw mag slow down kahit na obvious naman na lusot kana.

Thanks for the heads up, wala palang nabangit na intersection ang TS. Remember judgment apply for rule 4, when you deemed it safe to make turn then do it. Don't take the account of TS out of context.

Oh well basta bigayan na lang, sad that it seems that hindi uso to sa korea. Worst they bring it here, mababaril sila nyan sa daan.

Sorry for the generalization about koreans puro arrogant kasi ang mga naencounter ko sa kanila. So far wala pa akong naencouter na matino... Exception always apply to all race naman, sorry again.

[CoDer]

^^^yun ang mas nakakbwisit kung sinasabi na "in Korea we are ganun, ganito" eh kung ganun dapat bumalik na sila doon at umalis na dito sa Pilipinas...

Korek paps! Kung gusto ng hindi matitino sa kanila eh tayong mag adjust eh mag balot-balot na sila at bumalik ng korea.

[Paolo123]

Sakto tong news na nakita ko about a Korean driver.

Hehe: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/storypage...StoryId=117141

[AnuVaYan]

Pa ride na lang sa thread pero medyo OT.
Hindi sila babalik doon, dadalhin na lang nila ang Korea dito. Aba, padami na ng padami ang mga Korean establishments dito sa atin. Sa akin naman syempre ok naman na may mag invest dito na mga foreigners, maganda nga yun e. Kaso meron talaga umaabuso.

Halimbawa doon sa Puerto Prinsesa, meron doong hot spring resort na pag aari ng Koreano. Nagrereklamo yung mga katabing resort na pag aari ng Pilipino, kasi daw meron daw sanang cold water din na galing sa bundok na dati nilang nakukuha ng libre, pero itong Koreano naglagay daw ng malalaking tubo at may pump pa, so ayun sa kanya lang napupunta yung cold water. Itong mga locals e nagbabayad ng nawasa daw sabi nung kausap ko. At ni confirm naman ito ng kakilala namin na taga doon, balak sana nila bumili ng pwesto doon, kaso hindi na nila tinuloy kasi nga makakabangga lang nila yung Koreano. Malaki siguro suhol sa local government, kasi ni hindi nga daw pinapansin ng baranggay captain yung problema doon.

[CoDer]

I have yet to see good koreans, most of them are a pain in the ________. Minsan may kasakayan akong dalawang korean sa bus, from urdaneta to pasay ng madaling araw. Hindi ako makatulog dahil ubod ng ingay.

Eheheheee... OT na.

[acis]

From my first post, yung lady na biglang liko kaya ay aware sya Right of way (rule#4)? How about the driver with cellphone? Paano na kaya kung siya ang mag-leleft turn? We can generalize the drivers in the two situations are careless or arrogant. And I was wondering if sila ang nagtagpo sa daan.. ano kaya mangyayari??..

Oh well basta bigayan na lang, sad that it seems that hindi uso to sa korea. Worst they bring it here, mababaril sila nyan sa daan.

eto kuha ko sa ibang forums.. baka sakaling mapunta kayo sa Korea..

You can have a safe and event free time driving in Korea if you follow some simple rules.

Rule 1. Forget any rules you may have picked up in other countries. Korean driving is survival of the fitest or richest (I will get to the rich part in a minute)

Rule 2. Being polite will get you run over in most cases. Driving too slowly will get you run over. Koreans drive with their horns; not their brakes.

Rule 3. If you happen to get into an accident, admit nothing if it is your fault. If it is not and the other driver offers money, take it. This is not a bribe. This is simply excuse my stupidity money; nothing more. The amount will usually be enough to cover any damages you may have incurred. This also keeps insurance rates in Korea extremely low since it keeps them, the cops, and lawyers out of it.

Rule 4. Quarter-panel rule. The person whose front fender is in the lead has the right of way; no exceptions. This is especially the case with large or luxury vehicles. break this rule and it gets expensive (the rich part I mentioned earlier) and dangerous.

Rule 5. Do not drink and drive. Absolutely no reason for it. Rule 6. In rural areas, stop signs are for decoration. The locals know when it is safe to stop or not stop at a particular intesrsection at a particular time of day. Rule 7. Always look a another driver in the eye to communicate your intentions. If they do not see you, you are not there and therefore not at fault in the event of an accident. This also applies to pedestrians.

Rule 6. Motorcycles and scooters go anwhere; including the sidewalk.

Rule 7. All bus and taxi drivers in Korea have posters of Shumacher on their walls. Figure that out.

No wonder pumupunta sila dito. Very similar pala yung traffic system sa kanila dito!
