Ingat (Korea MaNobela)

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.

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.

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.

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??..

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!
