Since i was coding today, i left early to go to the office. While along Roosevelt just after the Coke plant at 6:40am, i saw that there was a Fortuner with its light on but no sirens counterflowing along my lane. Since he didn't move out and they was a jeep beside me, i had to let him pass by swerving to the right because we were going to have a head on collision. I then saw that the convoy was composed of 2 Fortuners and a Ford Ranger, all with blinking lights and apparently no license plates (i think).
I was tempted to turnaround and confront them but then thought "what the heck". It's not worth my time and i had a long way to go. I was also tempted to just stop along the road and make him stop but he didn't appear to move even though he was at the wrong lane. oh well, stupid morons.

July 23rd, 2008 09:53 AM #3Are they going to Q. Ave or towards Edsa? I was along Roosevelt too but only from Del Monte to Q. Ave. at that time. Mabuti’s di kami nag abot ehehe... kundi… wala rin ako magagawa.. bahala sila. Mga balasubas!

July 23rd, 2008 09:55 AM #4given the same situation, i am also sometimes tempted to just stop on the road and let those counter-flowing guys hit or avoid me. i'm pretty sure no one wants to have any accident, much more a head-on collision. unless of course, they sure do want to have a fast track to hell.

July 23rd, 2008 11:58 AM #5The Fortuners were on the way to Quezon Avenue while I was on my way to Edsa. It's frustrating to drive when you're the one trying to following the law and observe good driving practices especially when violators try to bully their way into your space.

July 23rd, 2008 01:27 PM #6Ah I see, that area of roosevelt in bgy san antonio near bayantel bldg. I guess waiting PUJs (in two lanes) were the cause, forcing the convoy to take the opposite lane. Ilang beses na rin ako nakipag murahan dyan.

July 23rd, 2008 02:22 PM #7good for you. I always encounter this situations near my area (OTIS). sometimes I'd give them some flashes para bumalik sila sa tamang lanes.
