ORANGE traffic light

[fourtheboys96]

i'm not here to blame anyone but the point is the thread starter stopped even without seeing the light turn red. he said saw the orange light and gradually stopped his vehicle. he didnt say the orange light turned red. i know being cautious is a driving necessity in our country. but being cautious is different from being overly cautious and tentative.

i'm from the province where traffic light is non-existent. but when i drive in manila, i try not to drive tentatively. when i see orange, i try to gauge if i will be able to pass through or not. if it is still orange when i'm under the traffic light, i proceed.

The problem here in metro manila is that some drivers from the opposite intersection tend to go straight ahead, upon seeing the opposite's traffic light turn orange(?) even if theirs is red ( READ: jeepneys ). I know it's their fault, but I think it would be best to stop right away.

I also agree with shadow's point ... since the TS has complete working tail lights, the truck driver should have pressed the brake upon seeing the TS' tail lights turn red. There are 2 reasons on why did this happen ...

1. The truck's brake was crappy.
2. The truck's distance from the TS' vehicle is too near.

In either ways ... it is still the truck drivers fault ;)

Nadale na ko sa proceeding with orange light na yan eh..Ang nakakainis lang mga 5 meters na lang ang layo ko from the intersection eh, basta malapit na malapit na tapos biglang nag yellow e di syempre proceed na ko dahil nasa 30+km/h na takbo ko alangan namang i-slam ko ang brakes ng biglaan..Tapos pinara pa rin ako ng mga enforcer sabi ko alangan namang huminto pa ako eh kung masagi ako nung nasa likod ko..Ang nakakatawa pa, beating the red light ang offense ko.. kailan pa naging red ang color yellow?

*topic
Obvious na gusto pang i-beat ng L200 yung stoplight..Dinamay pa niya ang TS sa "risk" niya..

Chikselog :: Iyon ang tama ... 'pag very near the stoplight ka na then biglang nagyellow , du'n dapat mag-proceed.

pero malayo palang ako nakita ko ng yellow, siguro isang segundo na lang pula na. ang nakakayamot kasi dun sa pangyayari, dapat hindi lang tayo tumitingin sa ilaw, kundi dun din sa kotse sa harapp natin.
marami rin kasing tao ang may wrong impression sa yellow light.

red-pag walang pulis sa madaling araw go parin/stop pag umaga.

Green = Start honking your horns
Yellow = Step on the gas
Red = 3 to 5 cars more will pass

Yellow means slowdown and yield to stop.

Don't do what the STUPID and KILLER Bus drivers do.

kahit gaano tayo kaingat sa pagmamaneho pag natapat tayo sa mga reckless driver
kahit saan angulo mo tingnan talo yun naka bangga ka TS.
-tailgating
-over speeding.

i try to keep at least 2 sec distance if possible.

sabi nung mokong sa pulis..."kala ko kasi dederetso pa kaya binilisan ko pa"

Bobong tanga. hehe

^^ 2 sec is still near kung tumatakbo, should be 4sec sa bc road

problema sa yellow light sa PH..masyado mabilis mag turn to red...dapat medyo tagalan yung pag ilaw ng yellow lalo na sa malalaking intersection. well still not applicable sa PH kasi nga kulang sa disiplina at edukasyon ang mga drivers sa pinas...saka yung gitna ng intersection is always a clearway...problema sa atin kahit traffic na sa kabilang side...then green lights..isasaksak pa din ang sasakyan
