slight ot.... ang mga motorcycles hindi ba kasama sa one way streets? minsan naman may mga tumatawid ng streets ala pedestrians.
Nung sabado ng around 6:30pm malapit na ako sa SM bicutan nasa service road ako itong red honda wave na may sakay pang asawa biglang tumabi sa akin(isipin mo yung pantayan sa drag ganun ang ginawa sa chicken car) may nasa unahan ako na truck pinipilit pa niya singitan ako eh sagad na nga yung lane ko at wala siyang space para magkasya dun sa harap ko kahit sa gilid wala rin. Nasa incoming vehicle na siya at may paparating ding truck nun sa harap niya. Ayun nataranta at naging anlaganin pag overtake niya sa mahabang truck na nasa unahan ko nung time na yun.ahaha.

eto mejo kabaliktaran ng topic pero irita parin. nakakainis lang pag nasa 2 way lane ka na makitid tapos steady moving traffic, kailangan sumingit yung motor at pumunta sa harap mo pero nasa gilid. tipong inovertake ka(from the right pa) tapos di siya makasingit sa kotse sa harap so nandyan lang siya sa harapan mo sa right side. nakakairita lang parang may kasunod kang lawit. pag ganun oovertakan ko tapos isasagad ko sa kanan ng lane ko para di makapagovertake sa kanan mo. di nila alam na delikado magovertake sa kanan.
parang yung nangyari kahapon dito
here's the video namumulot pa ng utak yung lalaki

sobrang dami mga scooter na nagka counter flow sa me santolan sa crame. Sa me timog din
McKinley Road in Makati and Sheridan Street in Mandaluyong.
Sheridan I might be able to understand. There does not seem to be enough road markings that will clearly state where the northbound lane ends and the southbound lane begins. Of course, any individual with reasonable logic will realize that if you drive to the left of the cars on the left lane headed in one direction, you are overtaking them, and if you drive the entire length of the road, you are counterflowing. Then again, we're talking about MC riders here, and a lot, if not most of them have questionable logic.
McKinley road clearly marks the division between Makati-bound and Taguig-bound lanes by solid yellow lines no less. Add to that the logic that if you drive to the left of the cars on the left lane headed in one direction, you are overtaking them, and if you drive the entire length of the road, you are counterflowing. Boom, and there were not only a handful of MCs counterflowing. What piss3s me off all the more is that these MCs do not only do these counterflow manuevers when there is no opposing traffic -- hell that was just too understandable -- they do it despite it! And when they get stuck, as 2 lanes of traffic are coming in their direction, they try and force their way into your lane, coz you are leaving some reasonable braking space in front of you. Dumbf-cks can brake on a dime and they expect you to do the same. WTF?! Galit pa kung matutukan kasi nga bigla sila pumreno. P-tang-na!
May isang traffic enforcer, balak pang hulihin yung isang nag-u turn sa McKinley, kasi sobrang traffic papuntang Makati. Yes, there are signs that say no-u turn along McKinley, but that rule seems to be more for preventing accidents from just any jackhole making a u-turn at any point, when traffic is hurtling down in both directions. It was a virtual standstill! You could sit on the road and not get hit!
but what do you expect when the guys charged with enforcing traffic rules, are the very ones breaking them with impunity! and their bosses? they're busy doing "more important things" than disciplining their people.
remember panfilo lacson when he was chief pnp?
This morning, may counterflow motorcycle akong namatahan sa peripheral vision ko while in traffic along Santolan Road. A few seconds later i hear that "TOG" sound and saw a back flipping person. Ayun, tumama pala siya sa isang Sentra N16 who came out of the sidestreet na pinagbigyan ng lahat ng kotse. :clap1:
Kawawa yung Starex who stopped to give way to the car who was t-boned since nadamay din siya.
Hopefully they find the motorbike at fault as traffic flow was fully stopped and he (motorbike) was counter flowing at speed. He hit the Sentra's side door. The rider flew pretty high as my full view was blocked by a van and yet i still saw the legs of the rider up in the air... Galing niya mag somersault. Sayang wala si Pipefish sa lugar na yan para nakuha ng on-car camera niya. :D
With your description of him flipping in the air, he must be riding fast, a definite no-no in rush-hour, gridlocked traffic. On top of that, he was counterflowing and overtaking at what appears to be an intersection. I think he's violated a lot of rules and the only thing missing is him not wearing a helmet. I hope he has learnt his lesson.
