    Has anyone of you every played chicken?

    Yung tipong someone was driving against traffic. That is, the driver is on the wrong side of the road and heading towards you.

    I noticed that there are a lot of these drivers that LOVE to counterflow, sabay highbeam. Tapos sila pa ang galit. 50% private cars, 50% PUVs, pero the ones with the private cars are the craziest ones. Sa tingin ko, lasing, addict or pure siraulo ang mga ito.

    Well, there were times na tinopak ako at I really played chicken and that last one eh last minute nagswerve ang kaharap ko, so we almost touched side mirrors.

    Minsan I'm tempted to just close my eyes, drive straight and just wait for the inevitable. :twisted:

    marami talagang driver na walang disiplina, huminto lang sandali lane nila lipat agad ng ibang lane counter flow pa gusto pag may kasalubong kala mo sila ang nasa tamang lane. pero ingat din mga peeps baka magka scratch kayo eh wala palang insurance o pambayad yung kabila.

    well, did one.... dyan sa Marcos Alvarez Ave. sa Las Pinas......traffic sa kabila tapos konti lang kami then merong isang kotse biglang nag swerve ( counterflow ) and high beam sya....high beam din ako tapos binilisan ko pa ( I was driving an AUV ) so mas mataas yung tama ng ilaw ko..... ayun dumiretso sya sa shoulder ng lane ko kc di rin sya pinasingit sa lane nya.....

    lakas nga ng loob nya e private car naman sya......kung taxi pa or jeep o kya tricycle paka di ko pa pinatulan....

    Dami talagang ganyan driver lalo na PUJ and PUB. Lakas ng loob komo kakaragkarag sasakyan nila and alam nila iwas yung sa harap nila dahil tsikot. Ingat lang sa mga private minsan yung mga ganyan may garga kaya cla pa ang galit.

    **PEACE**

    Galing mo Gambit! Now this is playing chicken hehehehhe! :twisted:

    Same tayo, pinapabayaan ko na ang mga PUVs, at least di naman sila nag-hihibeam. Correct ka din diyan, one of the advantages of driving an AUV is that pagdating sa highbeam wars, talo ang kotse heheheh.

    I did it often enough. When someone counterflows into my lane, I'll just flash my headlight, downshift and floor the gas pedal. I'll swerve away at the last moment, closest was touching sidemirrors.

    Other times I just stop (blocking his way) and wait for the counterflower to get back into his lane. Those times I wish I had a police siren installed.

    Naku may phobia na koa sa ganyan! Nung minsan sa Ma. Clara St. sa Q.City may nakita akong tinutukan ng baril.

    Isa ako sa nakapila sa trapik tapos yung isang kotse sa bandang likod na nakapila din sa trapik e biglang nag counter flow malas nya yung kasalubong nya may baril kitang kita ko nung magkasalubong na sila nilabas nung driver nung nasa right of way yung baril nya tapos sabay tutok sa nag counter flow. Langya dinig na dinig ko yung iyak ng gulong nung nag counter flow sabay atras! Parang pelikula habang umaandar nag tututukan ng baril!
    Nyahaha! Nagkanda ihi siguro sa takot yung isang driver.

    Pero pag ako ang nasa right of way hinihintuan ko nalang sa harap yung nag counter flow.

    meron na din ako nakatapat na mga nagkakacounter flow kahit traffic. di ako umaalis sa lane ko. thankfully, madami mas nauuna mag-'chicken' kesa sa akin. some would slide back into their own lane at the last minute. meron din ilan na pumupunta sa road side ng lane ko.

    i only do it when im alone in the car, though; and nagka-counterflow lang ako pag meron talaga counterflow lane provided by the police and traffic aides.

    one thing i like to do is intimidate counterflowing motorcycle drivers. nakakainis eh; di dahil maliit yung dala nila eh basta basta nalang mag counter flow kahit saan. i don't give them any space; in fact, i even hug the opposite lane. im sure minumura ako ng mga naka motor when i pass by. di naman sila makareklamo kasi sila ang wala sa lugar.

    depends on what i'm driving, i only do rarely if i have a way bigger car (suv) vs a smaller car or bike but still i don't suggest it. but i always make sure i have enough space if i have to chicken out and i just carry my speed but i always have my foot over the brake pedal just with a clear idea on my actual braking distance for the situation
