Foolish drivers. Ano bang problema nyo?!

[ian_rex]

i'd like to share my latest misadventures while i'm behind the wheels. i guess more of a venting my rage.

last night, i'm on my way home up north, i took the NLEX (as i usually do), merged to the inner lane. while i'm at it, there is this delivery truck, closed van slowly traversing the inner most lane. so as i ran along side i noticed he was trying to get ahead of me. no signals whatsoever. although i subconciously thought, he would do that otherwise, i tried to dismiss the though. the truck is on my left, on my right is an equally slow bus and on my front an AUV. so to move forward, this truck abruptly swerved to right barely missing my wing mirrors. the car behind me was honking because he was also barely missed by the tail.

i sped up, obviously pissed having to go with all the trouble. when i'm in a safe distance ahead, i glance at the mirror and saw that the truck continued to swerve right, but then abrupt swerved back to the left- perhaps realized that he'd missed hitting me. to get even, i brought my windows down, gave the finger and sped off.

Earlier on EDSA, a black Mitsubishi Adventure was leisurly cruising (about 40 kph) in the innermost lane, but not quite because he taking two lanes at a time. i beamed for two times, but to no avail. so i decided to take some action. so took the lane to the right, then sped alongside then tried to gently took the leftmost lane. the driver, was obviously suprised, because, there's a jerking movement to left after i passed him. but i guess, i pissed him because he tried to retaliate by having his beams switched to high. in your dreams kiddo, you're still way too slow.

still, i don't see why there so much stupid drivers out on the streets. my take is take if you happened to drive insanely fast and reckless its understandable- for you seek accident waiting to happen. but when you are going for a leisurely cruise, that is fine. just don't do it on the lanes that you could block the traffic (read, "keep right! dumb").

just a thought.

truck? inner most lane?

ang daming feeling na mabilis sa NLEX kasi. hehe.

i hate slow drivers who take two lanes at the same time... ugh. But I cannot do anything about it but to just grin and try to overtake them. I cannot...a)flash my light because my car is small and they would just ignore it (this happens everytime); b)honk at them (i don't have horns...ugh..time to buy one) and c)give them the finger because my windows are locked thus i cannot roll it down. ~geezzz~

we can only rant as endlessly as they are gonna stay stupid.

That's what I call the perfect hit-and-run. Hahaha. That's my boy!

stupid drivers are a part of our culture so to speak, too many of them on the road to be honest. So am not surprised with this story. Driving in the Philippines, especially in Metro Manila is an adventure in itself. If you react to every moron driver that comes along your way you'd get high blood at a very early age.

[basti08]

yup, there's a lot of stupid drivers out on the road today, the least that LTO could do is not to issue those freakin' stupid drivers a license...

and for us, not to drive like them ;D

yep. agree to that. but then, once in a while lang naman would be healthy. when i gave the finger and sped off, wala na yun, ok na at least nailabas ko yung initial rage. nasa sa kanya na yun kung hahabol siya at kung aabutan nya ako...

[EL Chicane]

Madali lang kasing makakuha ng lisensya sa LTO ngayon. Kaya i-expect mo na kung anong quality ng mga drivers dito.

[flakez]

sa dami ng ganyan sa kalsada madalasa hinahayaan ko na lang. o kaya kung may pagkakataon lumalayo ako sa mga ganyang driver.

Foolish drivers. Ano bang problema nyo?!


madami sila problema at madami rin ang foolish driver sa daan

[falken]

Madali na kasi kumuha ng driver's license. Balita ko nga, yung drivng exams daw may kasama nang sagot. Kaya ayun ang daming bugok na drivers.

[niky]

That's how I got my license. Ready na akong mag-take, may answer sheet na ako at ballpen... tapos binigyan sa akin codigo... "Boss, saan ba yung questionnaire?"... "Kopyahin mo nalang yun, siguraduhin mo na may isa o dalawang mistake ka, ha."

Our licensing system is laughable indeed.

[Bravoexo]

Basta't you used your signal lights to overtake.

applicable talaga ang newton's law: "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". imagine how a prudent driver becomes a reckless driver. it's urban jungle out there, in jungle there's an only law: survive.

i wondered if i did mentioned in this thread, after my 'assault' to offending party, my next move is evasive measures. as far as i knew, i try as much as possible to give courtesy on others, but sometimes i do also take. for one could not give without taking any.

Marami kasi diyan, di yata nila alam sila ang wala sa lugar eh. Kaya "bahala ka sa buhay mo" ang attitude.

[oldblue]

yan pinakahate ko sa lahat nasa middle of two lanes. I had a conversation with a psychologist before, may possible mental/emotional problem daw ang mga tao na subsconsciously nag-drive sa middle lane lalo na yun pinapagitna talaga yun tsikot nya sa road markings. kaya kung ganun kayo mag-drive, I suggest you see a psychologist hehehe

[nugundam93]

talaga? ano raw psychological reason?

badtrip nga mga ganyan...argh. sarap banggain yung rear quarter panel tapos i-T-bone sa inis.

just two days ago i was on the second from the left lane of roxas blvd northbound. i think i was running at around 40kph at that time which is a reasonable speed IMO. kasi we just came from a stoplight. but then this tamaraw fx was honking and flashing his beams at me. and i was thinking, all of the other lanes were clear naman for him to overtake me,so there was no need for me to get off my lane to let him pass.so he overtook me but without trying to ram his car into mine after he has passed me. so i gave him chase. tapos i can see traffic na upstreet siguro mga 500 meters ahead, what i did was inipit ko siya in between cars, a slow one on his left, a slow one in front of him and me sa right side nya.. hehehe di siya makasingit kaya inis na inis siya. serves him right for trying to run me down in his beat up tamaraw fx.

[umzzzzz]

it's a jungle out there! survival of the fittest talaga sa daan. kaya uso ang barilan ngayon eh.
