A bus nearly sideswiped me just in front of Glorietta

[bender]

I was going to Glorietta around 845pm this Sunday when a bus suddenly cut in to my lane and nearly sideswiped me. I was able to swerve a bit to avoid them. When I confronted the driver when they stopped to drop off passengers, the driver claimed that the other bus was the reason he cut in front of me. Apparently, they were trying to race each other to the bus stop.

Just lucky that I didn't get into an accident over something so insignificant. To think that they were doing that when there was no traffic.

that bus driver is a fool. ive fought with more bus drivers than jeepney drivers.

A bus actually hit the side of my vehicle two weeks ago. Nag uunahan yan sila para sa pasahero kahit puno na. Quota system kasi. Sigaw nga ng mga pasahero niya e "swapang kasi". The case has been filed in the small claims court even if the damage is minor (parang 3K cost ng repair). Mas malaki loss niya sa istorbo at pinababa ko lahat pasahero niya. But thats not the point. Matuto sila mag drive ng tama.

Iyan ang masama sa mga drivers ng bus... Nandadamay pa ang mga drivers na keeping to their lane... Dapat talaga sa mga iyan,- ma-sampolan at mabigyan ng leksyon....

How's the "small claims court", bro? Efficient ba?

10.3K:sumo:

Pasubscribe...Tol, ano yang small "claims court?"

Paki-elaborate naman...

TIA...

Sorry to hear that sir. Ewan ko lang but these bus drivers are worst than their counterparts like jeep drivers etc. Dahil alam nila na mas malaki sila kaya yun cut ng cut. I have my share with buses and dump trucks too. Anyway, the good thing is your okey.

Parang yung naencounter ko lang sa may Ayala ave. Nakasidesweep siya ng mga nagbabike, not the typical na biker pero yung parang mukhang bigtime na biker. Muntik ko pa siya nasagasaan kasi natumba siya, todo preno talaga ako. Ang ginawa nung mga bikers sinundan nila till may nagstop na traffic light, then BOOM!

pinasabog yung bus sir? care to share more? hehe

On topic:
that's why im move vigilant against buses compared to big trucks.. mga trucks kasi hindi naman basta basta lilipat ng lane..

*sir old, can you share your exp on the small claims court?

what do you mean BOOM?

maybe this is the solution to the edsa problem. just shoot 'em like animals and don't bother if justice gets served or not. we peace-loving drivers just turn the blind eye whenever we hear stories about bus drives getting shot or killed.

[innoBOB[09JmtG]]

trained ang bus drivers even to kill pedestrians, if they have to so, cutting other vehicles are just part of their everyday meals.. hehe

welcome to the philippines!

*TS - buti nalang walang nangyari sa iyo. anyway, I know your sentiments dahil ako mismo hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses na ako muntikan ma-sideswipe.

kaya nga sa EDSA, talagang kung maaaring mag-stay pa ako sa left lane, doon lang muna ako. at kung may bus sa tabi ko, sige na, pinapauna ko na sila kasi nga hindi ka rin makakaporma eh.

pero dati nung sasakay ako sa bus, muntikan pa akong masagasaan nitong isang bus (Manrose Liner yung violet). Talagang dumikit doon sa sasakyan kong bus at ito pa.. nasa harap na ako nitong manrose liner, umaabante pa ang hinayupak. naaalala ko tuloy yung naramdaman ko noon. para akong nagtutulak nang pader na iipitin ako. nabura ko na sa CP# ko yung plate no. lahat iyan para lang sa makipag-unahan sa pasahero.

sa sobrang galit ko nung aakyatin ko na yung bus, karipas nang takbo ang loko.

You should try the buses along Quezon Ave-Espana, they don't stay on their lane. They even occupy the left lane and block the whole street to let off their passengers. Fortunately puro close calls lang, but marami na akong dinaanan na nasalpukan...

I hate those dang buses too! I almost got sideswiped last Friday night around 11 pm at Edsa near Estrella going towards Cubao. It was a non-aircon city bus but I forgot the name. White color. Traffic was at an average of 70-80 kph when the bus overtook me. It was on the innermost lane (duh?!), while I was on the adjacent lane. There was a slow moving car in front of it and without signaling, the bus abruptly swerved towards my lane to overtake the car. Good thing I was extremely focused so that even before its right wheel was able to cross the demarcation line, I managed to blast my horn, which caused it to hesitate and went back to its lane. I also braked a bit so that I'd have more distance from him. However, my lane was really much faster than his so that I eventually caught up with him. With no regard to the safety of anyone, he swerved again, this time forcefully so that I was forced to play with braking and sliding to my right (while keeping an eye on the vehicles on my right). He missed my by a couple of inches.

Can I bash his head please with no legal ramifications? Please?

Indeed. sumbong mo sa ltfrb which is usually written on the bus with its franchise number

Yeah, but better yet just throw dead batteries on them yung 9volt

Mga duwag naman mga yan. One time may bus nasagi side mirror ko, hinarang ko bus at binabaan ko. Pinapababa ko yung driver ayaw naman. Yung konduktor ang bumaba nagmamaka-awa.

Ayaw ko naman manakit pero minsan gusto ko barilin gulong nila- pero syempre hirap mag aim pag umaandar, hehe, kaya maski body ng bus pwede na. Buti napipigilan ko sarili ko.
