    One may be driving a dilapitated PUJ on the expressway buyt strictly adheres to rules and exsiting laws - and knows the limitations of his vehicle, IMO that driver is less dangerous that a teenager or speed junkie driving a Merc whos snaking and tail-gating all the way, making the road unsafe for fellow motorists.

    They think they know their car and it's capabilities. And most of the time they do. They also think that they know the minimum capabilities of the cars they encounter on the road. And most of the time they're right. But they almost always forget that most of the time, the other drivers don't know what they know.
    Good point... I never thought of it this way. Makes sense, pero still doesn't excuse their maniacal behavior... Even if you're well aware of the limits of yours and every other car around you, it doesn't mean you have to drive AT those limits.

    And that's from a fellow teen driver

    for me, buses are the most dangerous cars in the expressway. trucks and jeeps are slower than buses because they often carry heavy loads. Wala pa akong nakikita o nasasakyang bus na matino magdrive anywhere.

    Share ko lang, I almost lost the most important person in my life because of a bus! My mom was cruising along nlex that time at around 70-80kph lang then suddenly a bus hits her from behind! kaka-overtake lang nung bus from another car then boom! buti napunta si ma sa inter-islands ba un tawag dun? and buti nagstop yung car. just a few meters away, possible na malaglag ung car dun sa parang cliff. Kwento ng mom ko, Hindi daw sya nakita nung driver. But the passengers in front saw her. ano ba yun! I was so thankful na mababait mga passengers and pinatigil nila yung bus to check my mom. Imagine the impact it caused. Nawala trunk ng sasakyan(89' midnight blue mitsu lancer). sobrang yupi. Bulok pa naman car namin dati and walang airbags. God is so good talaga. My mom came home without a scratch. the car was the only thing harmed.

    Bus drivers are often reckless for me. as well as other PUVs. kaya yun. Isip ko na lang ganun talaga dito sa pinas. Ingat ka man sa pagmamaneho, delikado ka pa rin.

    Naku, kakasabi pa lang ng asawa ko

    Nahuli ang sinasakyan niyang mini bus kanina. Sabi ng konduktor, nung nakaraan daw sa overspeeding. Ngayon daw ano na naman kaya? Yung pala nag babad sa overtaking lane. Pinakita pa ng nag ttrapik dun sa nlex yung video. Sabi na lang ng driver ng bus, ang galing ko pala magpatakbo

    Tinry nilang suhulan. Wa epek.

    One day when I was riding a bus sa nlex so a white nissan 350z. Literal na ahas sa NLEX. Walang signal signal basta mabilis patakbo left and right. Parang di siya ng immodium nung araw na yon.

    Pag dala ko car ko maintain 80 -100 kph dun sa right lane sa overtaking lane. Pag lumampas ng 100 sasabihin ko, "oy mag tipid ka sa gas mo" Balik 80 ulit
