Judging from the posts I guess a good number of us (which might be representative of society at large) are flat out exasperated with the rudeness, lack of discipline, aggressiveness, etc. of drivers today, private or PUV. Given the current political situation, anarchy in the streets appears to be just a tipping point away, if it isn't already happening.

For example: At the Wilson St - Ortigas Ave intersection in San Juan, San Juan-bound jeepneys in the service lane routinely make a U-turn back to the EDSA-bound lane cutting off all other lanes. What is worse, they do this regardless of whether the traffic light is green or red. As soon as they see an opening, they go, cutting off the cars in the other lanes or cars coming from Wilson going into the shopping center. What amazes me is that a lot of drivers (never mind the traffic enforcers) seem to accept this brazen display of extreme whatever you want to call it.

I personally do not want to live in such a place where near-chaos rules. But while I have learned to accept/tolerate "minor" acts of rudeness/lack of discipline in my daily driving, I sense the situation has been steadily worsening.

It is now not uncommon when you have already given way in traffic that the other party, instead of waving their hand in appreciation, gives you the finger instead. Where will this trend lead us?

Given the intelligence and passion displayed in this forum in various threads time and again, perhaps, we can force our collective minds to come up with innovative proposals to bring back discipline to our streets.
