"Road Conversations"

[xtian119]

Na-experience mo na ba? since sa office namin sa basement ang parking. Even mga MC dun ang parking. Makakasabay mo sila sa elevator, galing sila sa labas at katirikan ng araw..
Hmm kulob ang elevator, ang bango nila sobra! Hanep! hindi mo maipaliwanag ang halimuyak ng amoy nila :puke1:

Hindi ko pa na-try mag-motor. Pero para lang hindi masyado mag-init ang ulo ko sa daan kapag may nakikita akong MC na pasaway hehehe

Huh? :question:

[nismo26]

after watching the news with regards to Motorcycle riders in tandem, who fearlessly murdered a helpless guy early in the afternoon, i now tried avoiding pointless confrontations with MC riders even if they where at fault in traffic. Kung walang masamang nangyari o bangga, pinalalampas ko na, madalas kasi sila laman ng balita na mga holduppers.

tama talaga, try to avoid conversations... kung wala namang tama ang kotse natin, lets try to be thankful and let them pass...

first thing to happen kapag bumaba ka ng kotse

1. confrontation
2. iinit ang ulo
3. kung hindi magsusuntukan, bubunot ng baril
4. malamang 2 kayo PAKTAY...

just like what happened yesterday * tagum city... little arguments turns into shooting...

ingat po sa daan

Ways to keep your rage always in check while on the road

THE START of the New Year rush will definitely bring out traffic jams that will definitely test the patience of many a motorist. If you happen to have a short fuse—and even the most patient driver will experience losing temper at one point or another—Suzuki recommends reading the safety tips below, in order to put that (road) rage in a cage.


Get your rest. Physical exhaustion contributes to mental fatigue and shortened tempers. Try not to drive when you are too tired. If you’re caught in an expressway traffic jam, pull over to relax, stretch your legs, and get a bite to eat. Even a short stop can make a big difference.
Keep your cool. Do not engage in emotionally charged conversations or arguments with your passenger(s). Your car is not a safe place to have heated arguments.


Leave your problems outside. If you just had a heated argument at work or at home, try to calm down before getting behind the wheel. Aggressive driving increases your chances of getting into an accident, inflaming other drivers, and being unnecessarily impatient. If you add that up, it puts you at high risk of becoming engaged in a road rage incident.


Expect the unexpected. By engaging in defensive driving techniques, you will lessen the times that someone “surprises” or irritates you with her erratic driving. Also, accept the fact that there is, unfortunately, no shortage of dangerous and irrational people out there, and they are unlikely to change despite your efforts or actions. If the court system cannot change these people, it is unlikely getting into a verbal or physical confrontation will either.


Keep your distance. If you notice an irresponsible driver, give him some extra space—you do not want to put yourself or your passengers in danger by driving near an inattentive driver. If you suspect that the driver may be intoxicated, note the make of the car and the license plate number and contact the police.


Mellow out. Listen to pleasurable music in your car or maybe some motivational tapes. Whatever puts you in a calm and relaxed mood is beneficial. Music is normally preferable to talk radio—topics on talk radio are frequently controversial and designed to get listeners emotionally involved.
Give yourself a gentle reminder. Road rage can be deadly; it is not unheard of for angry drivers to get so out of control that the incident ends tragically. One can Velcro a small photo of your loved ones to your dashboard; when you are feeling stressed on the road and are tempted to lash out at another driver, look at the picture to remind yourself about what is at stake.


Take a deep breath. When you feel yourself getting angry or upset, take a deep breath from your diaphragm and count to ten—or twenty, if that’s what it takes!


Keep your feelings in check. People prone to angry outbursts are three times more likely to suffer a heart attack than their calmer counterparts. Additionally, angry people have higher incidences of stroke, more frequent bouts of depression, and are more likely to become obese. Finding healthy ways to reduce stress is good for you on the road as well as in your everyday life.


Mind your manners. Everyone makes mistakes, so be understanding when another driver makes a mistake near you. If someone cuts in front of you too closely, drives too slow, or turns without a proper signal, try to keep in mind that at some point, most of us have made a mistake on the road.


And if all else fails… Should an angry motorist continue to badger you or when you believe you are being followed, drive towards the nearest police station or a well-lit crowded place with lots of potential witnesses and get help.


All told, anyone can get a little irritated behind the wheel once in a while, but allowing your temper to get the better of you is both foolish and dangerous.


Prayer. (dagdag ko na lang yan.)

Safe driving folks.

I think these people lack the knowledge on road courtesy.

hinde bro, they don't lack on the knowledge on road courtesy...what they lack is the capacity.

kapag may umovertake sa kaliwa ko na MC na mabilis na tipong racing mode, hinahayaan ko na lang...ang ayaw ko lang eh yung oovertake sa kanan kahit na 2 lane road..nakasilip lang ng konting sidewalk, banat na. nakakagulat at nakakairita kaya maovertake an ka sa kanan kasi di mo masyado tantyado distansya. masyado na ata busy sa bilis ng takbo at di na rin magawang bumusina.

[Big_daddy]

Walang pupuntahan ang init ng ulo...trust me on that one, ganun sya ka-simple and walang nagsisi sa simula...palagi yan sa huli...so relax and drive smartly...defensively.

Ingat ka lang diyan, bro....

About 7-8 years ago, galing kaming Tagaytay at diyan kami sa road na iyan sa Sta Rosa papuntang SLEX. Sa may traffic light sa Bel-Air, may MC na nasa unahan ko. Drive ko ay van at kasama ko ang aking pamilya at mga kasama sa bahay.

Pag turn-green ng traffic light,- in-overtake-an ko ang motor after a few meters. May warning na 2 maigsing busina to tell them that I am passing....Mukhang ayaw magpa-overtake ng g*go, dahil iyong angkas, paglampas ko, ay bumunot ng baril at binaril ang likod ng van, ayon sa kasama namin sa bahay na nakakita ng mga pangyayari. Basag ang salamin ng van.

Mabuti na lang at hindi tinamaan ang anak ko na nakaupo sa may bandang likod....

Tapos, itinigil ko ang van sa may tabi ng daan at dinaanan lang ako ng mga pvt*ng-in*!.... (Hindi ko alam that time na sila ang tumira,- ikinuwento lang ito ng kasama namin sa bahay pag-uwi namin. Akala ko kasi ay nabato ako....)

Gawain ba iyon ng isang matinong tao?....

Kaya mga MC drivers na g*go (take note mga bros,- may qualifier ito). Mauna na kayong lahat mga salot sa daan!!!

[pista_ni_jon]

^^^^ WTF?!?! ano kaya ang nasa-isip nila at ayaw nila magbigay sa daan?

salamat sa abiso sir cvt at sa susunod na meron akong ma-enkwentrong "malalaking" mc dyan sa area na yan, maghihinay-hinay ako mag-oberteyk sa mga riding in tandem na yan.

[Big_daddy]

they'll pay for their crimes after life...but I'm glad to hear that your family is safe CVT.

Ganyan din experience ko before...tinutukan yung driver ng isa pang driver.

I'd rather be inconvenienced for a while, than end up dead with a widow and kids left behind. However, if I can pull a gun on them before they do...fat chance na pauunahin ko pa sila...self preservation na muna before anything else.

Now, I try to imagine a stress free ride...law of attraction kung baga.

Yes, be extra careful and observant bro.

Remember, I was driving a van and accelerating from a full-stop. So, I was not doing anything higher than 60KPH, when I passed the MC... Mainit ang ulo ng mga iyon, (ayaw siguro ng 2 maigsing warning na busina at ma-overtake-an) - Nandamay pa ng inosenteng motorista....

Damage to replace the rear windshield was P16K. Ayos, lang. At least safe ang pamilya.

Ma-iba naman mga tsikoteers. Since napansin ko recently na pasaway na din ang mga drivers ng armored vans, share ko tong experience ko yesterday.

I was driving pauwi na from Waltermart Muñoz. Approaching the exit na halfway na ng sasakyan ang nakalabas e may truck na was about to park so i stopped. On the other side of the road was an armored van waiting to pass just like me. eto ang sample ng scenario.


after makapark ng truck aba naka-nguso na yung armored van na feel na feel ang 2 way na kalsada na ginawang 1 way. Nasa gitna siya, nagulat ako kasi tumutok sa harap mismo ng van (innova) which is kung tutuusin dun siya sa lane niya. wala akong nakitang dahilan para gumitna na siya ng ganun dahil kita sa side niya na malaki ang space.
sample pic:


stop kami pareho at naghihintay kung sinong gagalaw, sa side ko hindi ako makaka-atras dahil may tricycles na nasa likod ko at i know na nasa right way/lane ako at ang armored van na wala namang sasakyan sa likod na pwede namang umatras o gumilid e wala din ginawa. nag-pause ako humingang malalim at inisip yung gf kong 3 mos pregnant. kunuha ko cellphone ko to take a pic ng plate number ng sigang armored van then pinagsiksikan ko na lang yung innova sa pinaka-best ng aking makakaya just to pass. eto yung pic as you can see there is a space between armored van and white l200 van in which lane niya yon.


wala naman akong magagawa kundi magpic lang as evidence at kung sisigaw ako at ibaba ang window e malamang magmumukha lang akong t*nga. baka ihampas lang sa auto yung makapal na pintuan ng armored van and to think na armed nga sila sa loob eh dapat hindi nila sinasamantala yung mga motorista.

add ko lang ito:

while waiting/in-line to park sa mga malls, eh makikita mo mga naka-motor singit ng singit hanggang sa makarating sa pay-booth samantalang tayo eh naka-pila, di ba nakakainis kasi lalo tayong tatagal. pagnaka-kita ako ng guard sasabihan ko, "guard, baka naman puwede nyong pa-pilahin yang mga naka-motor." meron guard na patatabihin or sistahin mga motor, meron naman patay malisya lang.

[renzo_d10]

pat_louie : kung ako yan, hindi ko ipagsisiksikan kotse ko. ako nasa right of way, siya dapat magadjust. and hindi excuse yung limited vision para pagbigyan sila, they should be trained driving those things in a proper way.

kung ako yan, i'll engage the handbreak. turn off my engine and patiently wait.

pero yun nga, siguro kasi kasama mo yung preggy GF mo kaya pinagsiksikan mo nalang. pero hassle din yun ha, kung tumama ka sakanya. wala kang laban ... bakal bakal yan sila.

add pa yung mga Bikers sa SCTEX, NLEX and SLEX na walang pakundangan sumingit sa toll gate. Last I encountered their kind was last week. A BMW Biker cut me on my turn for paying the toll and mind you guys there's a long line behind me.

May "EDWIN GALANG" dun sa helmet nya. I don't know kung name nya yun, but that driver sure needs to have courtesy to other motorists.
