Shortcuts - nobody really pay attention to driver education here. Jeepney and truck drivers learn how to drive without proper lessons because they say they can't afford it. the driver education schools encourage you to take shortcuts - step on the gas when the light is yellow, don't use the turn signal, etc. Despite this, i learned that following the rules is still the best approach. I might not be the fastest one to arrive at the destination as i try to follow the rules but my stress level is still manageable.
however, i only had a couple of accidents- front bumper damage - all of them happening while i was turning.

dami talgang tanga na driver dito sa philippines. lalo na mga tricycle drivers. dati kasi pag naabala ako ng mga ogag na drivers ay binababa ko pa para murahin. nagulat ako kasi sakin pa sila nagalit kasi hinarang ko sila. di nila alam kung ano ang ginawa nilang mali.. iba ata talaga ang takbo ng utak ng mga ito. kapag may nakita silang space kung saan pwede idaan ang mga sasakyan nila ay gagawin nila ito. thats why they counterflow, cut, etc all the time.

at dahil wala naman magawa ang gobyerno sa mga salot na ito, i just decided to get myself a wang-wang. at least malayo pa lang, tumatabi na sila. hehehe.

kanina may ogag na jeepney driver ako naencounter.

On our way home, whilke plying marcos highway, may nakita ako na car na nakatigil sa banda sa marikina bridge. Sa likod niya is a jeepney. I was on the left side of the road while he was at the right. Para iwasan at overtakan niya yun car na nakatigil nagsenyas siya ng kamay niya papunta left side e halos katabi ko na siya nun cruisin at 30km/h. Hindi man lang tumitingin sa sidemirror at ilalabas lang ang kamay para sumenyas para lumipat ng lane. Binusinahan ko tapos kinut ko kasi montikan na ako e.

I got ahead of him. Looking at my rear view mirror, the driver mas mumbling and tinuturo ako. I gave him the finger pero sa loob ng car lang. Nakita niya iyon tapos he was gesturing na parang naghahamon na alika dito. I suddenly braked and the guy braked too pero malayo ang agwat namin mga 2 cars ahead ako sa kanya. Langya natakot. Nagmabagal at hindi na sumunod eventhough nagmamabagal na din ako para makacatch up siya. Aabangan ko sana pero lumiko na ako.

Bakit hindi sila nagiisip na sila na ang nakaperwisyo sila pa ang galit. That is one big ogag driver!!!

Culture na yan among jeepney drivers "da king" mentality. They don't care kung makapinsala sila sa kapwa basta makakuha lang ng pasahero.

Kaya lang parati na lang tayong pikon talo sa kanila. Ilan beses na rin akong pumatol dyan sa mga yan pero katapustapusan abala ng malaki sa yo at ma-aawa ka rin sa kanila pag nag kwento na sila ng buhay-buhay nila.

Lesson to be learned: maawa ka na lang sa kanila sa una pa lang, pero i-text mo sa LTFRB Hot line sa 0921-4487777 yung plate number at insidente. Pag dumami ang mga reports laban sa jeep na yun dapat may epekto sa registration nito.

true. and honestly, im one of these. cguro kasi i grew up with the knowledge that using the flashing high beams is an act of courtesy (believe it or not that was the practice here in the phils up to around the late 80's, i don't know how it evolved!). meaning you're telling the other driver that you're letting him/her through. or it's used to acknowledge a good gesture by another driver. although it's commonly used today as an "offensive weapon" or a means of saying that "i have the right of way" or "let me through", i often do not tolerate it as is. one flash may be ok sometimes. but more than that or leaving it in bright, even more kung may kasama pang busina, i consider it arrogance and stupidity. i know a few use it as a safety precaution, but as in everything, if it's done excessively, it could mean another thing. and of course, never ever insist on your right of way. believe in karma na lang. hehehe

ako pag nasa right of way ang kasalubong ko tapos papadaanin ko siya, patay headlights, parking lightmode lang. Pag mag flash ng high beams eh pag may nakasalubong ka na naka highbeams or brightmode. Nakakainis eh yun finlash mo na ayaw pa din mag dim ng lights, so high beam din ako para masilaw pero wala pa din pakialam
