I do this too. Naka-on palagi ang left hand signal light ko. Especially when I'm overtaking multiple vehicles, then switch to right hand signal lights when going back to the middle lane.

Mabait sa inyo...

Sa Batangas area swerte mo na pag may gagawa ng ganyan... madalas kailangan mo pa makipag silawan dyan

naka bukas pa ang fog lamps na white color bulb at tutok na tutok sa mga kotse :D

Saakin kasi, if hindi naman alanganin yung pag-merge ng kotse I usually give way. As to why I do this, tingin ko kasi mag-chain effect yan. If pinagbigyan ko siya, masasabi niya "may mabait pa palang natitira so I'll give way to the next car that wants to pass" so tuloy tuloy yun.

Kung di naman magbibigay, maiinis yun hindi pinagbigyan at masasabi "bakit ako mag-give way eh wala na rin naman nagbibigay nowadays?"

Well that's what I do. When someone gives me way, yun car na susunod mag-merge bigyan ko na rin.

Pero if someone doesn't give me way at talagang halatang madamot (makikita mo na sobra tumutok) I'll try to find a way na mapupunta sa unahan niya tapos abalahin siya lalo by giving way to others so lalo siya matagalan. Hahahaha. Or, I just open my window, put my hand out then signal kung pwede ako pumasok. Mas madali pa nga kung ganun eh.

here's my share of my road courtesy...

basic rule, respect me and i will respect you...

eg 1. use your signal lights and i will give way... if you dont then im sorry, i cant read your mind... and you deserve my loud horn, just to wake you up so you wont do it again.
eg 2. over taking by using counter flow is a big NO for me, i wont give you way even if you use your signal lights to merge to the proper lane... after all you cheated all of us, so dont expect me to give way! merge at your own risk bec i have the right of way...you deserve my loud horn, just to wake you up so you wont do it again.
eg 3. pedestrians who dont use the pedestrian lanes deserves my loud horn... because in my experience, if i give way, they would cross and walk so slowly and even would not completely cross the road bec they are afraid of the on coming traffic... but if pedestrians use the pedestrian lanes i would make a full stop...
eg 4. approach me w/ your high beam HL or non projector HID, and you get the same treatment from me... you deserve my loud horn, just to wake you up so you wont do it again.
eg 5. to the drivers who have poor vision that cant read the big signs at the coastal road toll plaza and tries to merge in illegally (singit), im sorry, i wont give way... you should have your eyes checked bec you are a danger to the other road users... you deserve my loud horn, just to wake you up so you wont do it again.

it all boils down again to my basic rule...

respect me and i will respect you...

Yes! I also had nice experience regarding this. lalo na kapag pinoy yung truck driver then pag lampas ko naman sabay short beep ako to say thanks.
