Jaywalkers along commonwealth

**bender** · February 28th, 2004 12:40 AM

One of the worse things that can happen to you along wide roads is the tendency of people to avoid using the overpass and try to cross the road. While driving along commonwealth on the way to tandang sora, i was driving around 60-70 kph. i was on the 2nd lane when somebody tried to cross the road. I hit the horn to warn him but then he made the motion of trying to run into the 3rd lane so i swerved to the first lane but then he suddenly tried to backtrack to the first lane so i nearly hit him anyway. I was prepared to hear the sound of somebody hitting the car but luckily he stopped backtracking.
I hope he learns his lesson and use the overpass. Not worth risking one's life to save a small amount of effort. Ang titigas talaga ng ulo! Gusto pa nila makadiskarte sa mga lugar na dapat di pagdiskartehan.

what's new, lagi naman ganun jan sa commonwealth e... kze naman, ang mga overpass, ka-kilometro ang layo sa bawat isa, kaya tendency ng tao, tinatamad... kaya nga jan napakadalas ng mga hit & run, or car accident dahil sa may tumawid na tao...

yup marami nga dyan sa commonwealth, marami din sa edsa sm north. maraming beses na din ako makasagasa dyan.

What i do is i blow my horn continously medyo malayo pa sa tumatawid. With that motorists are alarmed and other passers by watched these ignorant pipol crossing the street.

Nakakatawa lang nga, yung mga tumatawid nakatawa pa sila, tuwang tuwa sa pagtawid nila, akala siguro nila masarap ang masagasaan.

ako ang ginagawa ko sa mga jay walkers, i intend to hit them. susundan ko kahit malapit na sa bangketa.

hmmm...just bear in mind, to some people, then(or their relatives) getting hit by a car is like winning a mini-lotto...remember that story on channel 2 about this "mother" who throws her kids (on purpose) on the paths of unsuspecting drivers?

"tinatamad" is a lousy excuse for jaywalking. it really isn't any different from cheating on an exam kasi "tinatamad". kung tamaan sila ng kotse, i say the driver has every right to sue the jaywalker for damages to his/her vehicle!

hayop din yung mga jaywalkers sa EDSA, lalo na yung malapit sa LRT station at the foot of the Timog-East-Avenue-EDSA flyover near Timog.

OI PARE WAG KANG GANYAN....kahit na jaywalkers sila, tao parin sila.it's evil to wish for someone's death even if they are at fault.

alam kong mali cguro ginagawa ni kiper pero to tell u the truth minsan ganon rin ako eh haha..road rage nlng cguro yan haha

at LRT station at the foot of the Timog-East-Avenue-EDSA flyover near Timog, that's the worse placement of u turn so far by the MMDA. Imagine all the jeeps from quezon avenue and private cars from quezon ave and edsa converging at one point. the jaywalkers naman don't have much of a problem dahil ang bagal ng kilos ng traffic. At the commonwealth area, the overpass are indeed kilometers away from each other but the road is poorly lighted but has been designed as a highway thereby increasing the danger to pedestrians who try to cross the road. Dapat may common sense naman yung mga jaywalkers as the risks are not the same.

what compounded the situation was the jaywalker along commonwealth made the motion of trying to run but suddenly changed his mind and backtracked. Just like a certain presidential candidate, having no commitment to a course of action that has an effect on us makes it difficult for us to make the neccessary adjustments.

sobrang bad trip yung sa may manggahan may overpass na nga sa ibaba pa din dumadaan. remember yung isang nescaster ng channel 7 di ko matandaan kung sino eh but she hit a jaywalker at 4 in the morning

**nitrox** · March 2nd, 2004 05:15 PM

ingat lang lagi while traversing commonwealth ave. dami ng fatalities from accidents na nangyari dyan. my cousin hit a pedestrian and unfortunately the guy died. my cousin settled it out-of-court na lang.

**CaRGirL** · March 2nd, 2004 11:08 PM

pero diba sabi naman pag nakasagasa ka ng tao na tumatawid na wala sa pedestrian lane, wala silang habol?!

**kiper** · March 2nd, 2004 11:41 PM

oist..di ko naman tinutuluyan.

pero ang malulupit sa BALINTAWAK Market. Sa ilalim mismo ng Foot Bridge nakikipagpatintero..kung san pa madilim. And to top that..may dala-dala pang ilang bags ng veggies. damn.

**pissword** · March 3rd, 2004 12:14 AM

ganyan din nangyari sakin dati kala ko kung anung nakaharang biglang kariton pala... lagpas lang ng konti ng sandigan bayan

**notEworthy27** · March 4th, 2004 04:43 PM

be carefull when passing commonwealth late at night. There are times that people just lay down on the road waiting to be run over. I've experienced this before when I used to take commonwealth on my way home everyday. Thank God I haven't gone into any such accidents. Although it was pretty close. Right now, I usually take the lane farthest from the sidewalks to avoid HESITATING and UNDECISIVE JAYWALKERS and MAMBABATO. hehe Add ko lang, kahit na green light na tawid pa rin sina mokong basta malayo pa mga kotse at katabi ang overpass. I just can't help to think and wonder how could our country prosper with these type of people who couldn't do a small thing right.
