Poll: Dangerous cars on the Expressway

**Radical!** · May 31st, 2007 08:45 AM

Most of the time I see SUV's driving dangerously, occasionally, I see compact cars, but I rarely see sub-compacts driving dangerously.

To clarify what 'dangerous' is to me, dangerous is driving above the speed limit; driving below the minimum speed; rushing past cruising cars by punching the accelerator braking hard in the last minute, then 'diving' into or cutting into another lane. Tailgating; driving on the hard shoulder; and riding (and hogging) the passing lane.

Trucks (especially those ubiquitous L300 closed vans) and Buses are the usual suspects IMO.

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.

Very true

Do you think trucks and buses would be a danger if their
running at max speed limit but stick to their proper lane with caution? It's
those overspeeding drivers behind are the one creating dangers to the vehicles
up front.

It's not really the car, but the driver. If the car is dilapidated, the driver should know it's not fit to be driven around.

*Drivers who doesn't know jack about driving ethics and standards like those who doesn't even know what a flash means.

*Those that lack common sense.

*Slow vehicles hugging the passing lane. These people waste a lot of time, money, fuel and business. If you are driving slow, stick to the slow lane!

*Psychos overtaking on the shoulder.

*Assh*les who doesn't know what the side mirror and turn signals are for.

*Like I've said, speeding is not bad per se. It's bad if you're not in the proper lane no matter what the speed.

*What some don't understand is that people use expressways to get to their destination faster. They didn't pay hundreds of bucks just to arrive at the same time had they used a much longer route.

Completely agree.

There is really no dangerous cars around our Expressways, its the manner by which these drivers drive their rides....A ride becomes dangerous kapag nakikita kong walang tail lights, or not working brake lights, or yung tail lights ay kulay white din, or walang plate lights.
