[BoEinG_747]

sir altis 123

charge to experience na lang,

accident is accident

it will happen anywhere and anytime ..

whether your a Pro or Non-Pro


about sa instructor: sabi nga ni sir Theveed

"dami dami dami daming driver na may licensya na di dapat nasa kalsada ngayon"

baka madami din instructor di qualified maging instructor ..pero di naman cguro lahat

or cguro iyon tingin nag instructor .pwede na pakawalan sa EDSA
ang student niya ..kaya lang that time mejo ninerbiyos iyon driver ..or meron bgla iniwasan iyon sa harap niya .....kapwa tawad na lang kayo ...PEACE

wala naman atang special liability yung student drivers in case of accident. kasi legally licensed din naman sila (syempre assuming na may valid student license sila at may kasama silang holder ng driver's license hehehe). insured naman yung mga training vehicles ng mga driving schools.

ot: dapat nga yung mga driver ng buses at jeepneys ang mag-aral uli!! kung sino pa yung mga di ganun kagaling magmaneho sila pa yung mas sumusunod sa mga traffic rules!! yung mga bus at jeepney drivers mga naturingan pang mga professional-license drivers!! haay... ang buhay nga naman!

I was driving on EDSA towards Makati on a bright Sunday afternoon. I was running at about 50-60kph. Traffic was light, your usual Sunday traffic. Right after I passed Crossings underpass, there was a car, a Socialite Driving School car to be exact, na biglang prumeno. I was about 10-20 meters away from the car when I saw the rear brake lights so prumeno na din ako. Running 50-60kph on a Pajero, medyo bigla yung preno kasi mabigat yung body nung oto, umabot pa din ako dun sa Corolla (Socialite Car). Hindi major bangga, more of tapik lang nung Pajero to the Corolla. My bumper had minimal scratches which can probably be removed through Detailing.

After the slight impact, I went down and the Driving Instructor went down as well. The conversation went like this:

Me: 'Ano ba naman yan Pare, EDSA 'to, bigla kayong hihinto ng ganyan?'
Instructor: (says nothing and just points to the Socialite Driving School sign at the back of the car)
Me: 'EDSA 'to Brod, pag hindi pa yan marunong wag mo muna dalin dito. Major road kasi 'to e (with a slight grin)
Instructor: 'E kaya ko nga dinala dito kasi para matuto'
Me: 'Hindi praktisan ang EDSA. Major road kasi 'to. Dapat alam mo yan kasi instructor ka'
Instructor: 'Hindi ka kasi marunong magbasa sa signage na student driver'
Me: '$%!*#. Ikaw ata hindi marunong magturo e'

To make the story short, ano ba ang responsibilidad ng mga driving school in case nakabangga sila or mali yung student driver sa driving. Tama ba na sa EDSA sila mag-practice ng driving? I understand na eventually they have to teach students how to drive on major roads. E pano kung maaksidente kasi dinala nila kaagad na hindi pa pala kaya mag drive sa ganun?

Your Php 0.02 will be appreciated.

You rear ended the car, it doesn't matter if both of you are driving in rural road or major highway, its still going to be your fault. Student driver have to drive in major highway in one way or the other, you as professional driver, should know better to stay way behind them and give them more space than usual.

correct ka diyan ZIDANE21 (ikaw ba iyon player ng France sa Football

normally iyan mga bagong natuto pa lang mag drive sila pa masunurin sa kalye ..kasi kabisado pa nila mga turo sa driving school ng mga signs (hindi pa pasaway) at sumusunod nga sa road regulations compare sa mga Pro-license drivers na Bus or Jeepney (even Tricycle )drivers

parang di ako agree sa majority ah. Although tama na responsibilidad talaga ng nakabangga sa likod ung insidente, at tama rin na dapat tayo ang magbigay dahil student pa lang un, di yata ayos na lagi na lang nating pagbibigyan ang mga student drivers. I support the idea na hindi dapat pina-alagwa sa EDSA ung studyante kung hindi pa sanay. Kargo ng instructor un. Kung ako sasagutin mo ng "kaya nga dinala sa EDSA para matuto" e magpapanting talaga ulo ko. Baka magkaperwisyuhan na lang tayo.

on an extreme analogy, tutal alam ko marami nasa field of meds dito. diba ang mga intern hindi lahat pwedeng gawin kaagad? Kayo papayag ba kayo na ang mag-open heart surgery sa inyo ay isang "student surgeon"? Tapos sasabihin sa inyo kaya nga siya mag opera para matuto e? hehehe

[quiksie]

sir dapat pagpasensyahan kasi nga nagaaral palang. Dapat din alalay sa brake at keep your distance kasi hindi pa marunong mag drive yun student driver. Dapat din kitang kita mo yun road kasi mataas ang clearance ng kotse mo

[BlueBimmer]

hehe dpat ata ung student driver ang nagrant dto haha

[OTEP]

Medyo OT:

May kilala kong nag-aral diyan sa Socialite na iyan. Puro mali ang itinuturo! Hehehe. Buti na lang na-correct pa namin. Kung hindi, driving the 'Socialite' way siya ngayon.

As per info from my better half who was then a driving student of Southern Driving Sch, it is prohibited to teach students on main thoroughfares, espressways and highways, but not on old public highways and city streets, in this case EDSA is considered as highway. So, may responsibility din dito yung driving school. In which case extreme caution should be observed when trailing such vehicles with placards displayed as student driver.
