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...

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

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.

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.
