    Hello everyone!

    i just hate it when a motorcycle is heading my way "counter flow"...

    we cars also do this but its temporary only, aka over taking... but these motorcycles are just like inviting a head on collision that wont go back to their lane once they see on coming traffic and it just scares me...

    is there something we can do about this?

    Ginigitgit ko sila hanggang tumabi sila. Pag malapit na sila stop lang ako sa pwesto ko basta't pasok pa rin ako sa lane ko at todo busina...

    MMDA personnel will just shrug it off. They're guilty of committing the same abuse whether or not their on their MCs while in uniform or in civvies. Hell, if something happened while you're in your correct lane and the mc is past his lane, eating yours up despite that solid line marking on the ground, they'd still blame you for it.

    Personally, I keep to my lane though I steer much closer to the center line dividing my lane from theirs to keep them in check. If they can't be made to stay within their lines, at least make them slow down or be cautious enough to cross over into mine. Then I hope someone with more time on his hands stops each and every one of them in their tracks.

    The west service road in the South which runs parallel to SLEx is a one way north bound street from 6am to 10am from Monday to Saturday. This is clearly stated at the access point to the road where Sales Bridge is. However, motorcycles always violate this and counter flow heading south bound. This is very dangerous and cars usually have to give way to them. I do not understand why the traffic enforcers just allow these riders to go in. If it is a one way street, then they should not be allowed to go through it. Though they are smaller, they are not excempt. It's only a matter of time before one of these riders smash against a four-wheeled vehicle on one of the turns on the service road and when it does, I hope they do not blame it on the car / van / SUV.

    Let them know you are the boss. High Beam, Non-Stop Horn ++ more speed.
    Isa sa mga advantages ng may maingay na muffler (ricer) is nakaka intimidate ung tunog.

    The problem here is pag nabangga mo cla ng hindi mo naman sinasadya. Ikaw pa rin ang lalabas na may kasalanan.

    Bakit naman? Counterflow sila e. Ibang usapan na yan pag may namatay pero kung tumba lang, sabihin mo sila mali. Kung matigas ulo, tawag ka ng abogado.

    Di pa kasi nakahawak ng oto karamihan sa mga yan, sadyain mo man banggain o hinde, kotse pa din ang talo. Abala ka pa.

    Rider ako, pero pag naka kotse ako, ginigitgit at iniipit ko din ang mga wala sa lugar, pero to the point lang na di ako maabala.

    A car dvr is a must, to protect yourself from accidents arising from this events.

    i also do this hehe, eh right of way ako eh! kaso one time i witness may ka head on ako motor cycle then i HONKED the horns, bumalik sya sa lane nya kaso di nya natantya at sumabit yng gulong nya sa bumper ng AUV na nasa likod niya... not my fault anymore here... get out of my lane!!!

    ang problema, ang tatapang makipag sagupaan eh mali naman sila at wala naman mga pang bayad...

    pero minsan nakaka sawa na sa tenga iyong tunog ng busina... sa umpisa lang masarap ang tunog ng HONKKKKK>...

    i once asked a motorcycle driver why he was doing this. he said, "motor ako, e." he actually believes he has every right to do it! and our authorities indirectly approve of it, because they turn a blind eye to it! they even do it themselves!
