Stupid Move

[jkill]

Around 1130 am this morning my tita and I together with my cousin were cruising along kamias, as I’m about to make a right turn going to East Avenue. Nag signal na ako kasi nga I’m about to turn right, there’s a green delica in my right side, assuming that the delica will turn right too. dumiretso lang ako sa pag right,Tapos nagulat nalang ako dederetso pala ung stupid driver d man lang sya nag sign he tried to cut me buti nalang I hit my brakes hard tapos sya kumabig sa kanan napilitan nalang siguro sya mag right and then bigla syang nag full stop akala ko bababa after 3 secs he sped off hinabol ko at nung naabutan ko hihintuan ko sana bigla syang nag u-turn pinigilan na ako ng tita ko.. nakakaasar lang kasi ang lakas na ng ulan gago pa mag maneho d man lang iniisip ang iba tao sarap batukan ng mga ganitong driver buti nalang nakapag brake agad ako kung hindi tatamaan nya ung right side ko or sasalpok kami sa isle… kakagaling ko pa naman sa simbahan napamura ako ng de oras…

[Bravoexo]

teka, you were in the middle lane??

[umzzzzz]

...buti nothing more drastic happened...we all need to be extra cautious sa mga katabi natin sa daan especially ngayong rainy season...lalo na kapag ogags nga...at maraming ganyan ngayon.

[aceshark]

buti malamig ulo ng tita mo bro. next time palampasin mo na lang. isipin mo na lang na may pinag-aralan ka, sya wala.

[BlueBimmer]

if middle lane ka medyo tagilid ata story mo

[wren]

teka, you were in the middle lane??

i was wondering about the same thing. if you were, unless both of your lanes are marked specifically for right turns, you were totally at fault.

as I’m about to make a right turn going to East Avenue. Nag signal na ako kasi nga I’m about to turn right, there’s a green delica in my right side, assuming that the delica will turn right too. dumiretso lang ako sa pag right,Tapos nagulat nalang ako dederetso pala ung stupid driver d man lang sya nag sign …

i'm a bit confused here so please clarify some issues:

1. was the delica on a "dedicated" right turn lane only or not? because if not, i guess its ok for the delica to go straight.
2. you mentioned that the delica was on your right side, so i presume you're not on the right-most lane. if my presumption is correct and unless there are multiple lanes "dedicated" for right turn purposes, were you not suppose to change lane to the right-most, a good distance, even before you attempt to make a right turn? peace...

[umzzzzz]

oo nga no...sir, nasa gitna ka?

[A121]

kung ako nagmamaneho nung delica, malamang magagalit talaga ako sa iyo.

ingat na lang po. wag ka masyado mag-assume.

hmmmm.....you are apparently on the leftmost lane while trying to turn right? medyo magkakagitgitan nga. defensive driving is always your best bet.

[ian_rex]

apparently, dapat di ka nalang nainis.

[swordsman]

for a while there di ko sure kung kanino yong stupid move... parang na-cut yong delica

though mas stupid move siguro to get down and slug it out. lagot pag may kargada yong driver ng delica.

so next time, pasensyahan lang yan. one of the risks driving in the philippines.

[Hero]

oo nga lamig ulo lang...

kundi laman ka na ng tabloid at hindi sa showbiz section ha?

[jake1210]

mas marami ang disgrasya sa akala... akala mo kakanan hindi pala bigla kang kumanan eh nasa middle lane ka, madidisgrasya ka nga niyan... anyway ingat-ingat lang tayo sa pag mamaneho.

never assume. bale-wala left/right signal light dito sa'tin. kahit pa ilabas ng tita mo kamay nya sa right side window, puputulin yan lalo na kung jeepney driver nasa right mo. but I agree with them, mukang nga ikaw ang wala sa lugar.

[claRkEnt]

medyo base sa kwento, wala dapat issue na ika-angal mo. so please expound. It seems also na medyo late ang right turn signal mo and your signal is supposed to bring you to the right lane first.

peace...

[Monseratto]

I agree with everyone's opinion, you are out of lane. It is common driving sense to be on the right lane when turning right. Buti civilize ang pips dito sa tsikot kunde flamed down ka na.

[aceshark]

pssst! wag muna natin pagalitan or magkaroon tayo ng assumptions. hintayin muna natin na i-explain nya ng maayos yung istorya nya mga kuya. opinyon lang naman po. baka matakot sa atin yan. peace!

[Walter]

It seems that he was not at the right most lane when he was making a right turn. I agree with some of the observations here.

[OTEP]

There are roads here that specifically state whether 'Right lane must turn right' (e.g. North Ave cor Mindanao). Otherwise, vehicles in the rightmost lane are not obliged to turn right.

Minsan naman yung nasa Right lane must turn right lane naman ang ayaw kumanan. Pet peeve ko yun. Daming tang*ng driver dito sa North Avenue. Barado tuloy ang lane na pakanan.
