^ Kaya IMO necessity na yung defensive driving technique at all times. Dapat sa ga anak natin or kakilala, ituro din yan ng masinsinan.
Mahirap na, nasa huli lagi pagsisisi.![]()

ilang beses na din na clip side mirror ko ng mga ungas na iyan, lalo na sa Edsa na kahit slow moving ang traffic humahataw sila in between cars. Hayuun, sira na yung power function ng right mirror ko, hindi mo naman mahabol and they won't even stop kahit alam nilang nasagi ka.
Incident 1:
Nangyari sakin pa kanan ako papasok ng pier nakasignal ako pakanan tinignan ko pa right side ko kung clear at nung paliko nako biglang blag! naramdaman ko na parang may tumama sakin. Tinabi ko yung oto then paglabas ko may nakabagsak na motor at rider sa likod ko. Tinatanong ko kung saan siya tumama ayaw sumagot tinignan ko yung oto walang gasgas kahit konti. Kahit yung MMDA at guards ng pier hindi malaman kung paano nangyari yun. What we noticed is mabuhangin sa lugar. So I said sir di ko kasalanan yan walang tama oto ko. But the MMDA insisted tulungan ko na lang. In the end I shouldered the medical checkup and gave the man 500 for the medicine aba pinababayaran pa sakin pati yung mga gasgas ng motor niya at yung hindi niya kikitain sa pagleave. Sabi ko No way eh kita mo wala man lang gasgas o marks ng pagkakatama ng motor mo sa oto ko. When I went home yung gasgas nakita ko sa ilalim ng rear bumper meaning nagskid siya sa buhangin at nadamay lang ako dahil nabangga niya likuran ko. Ako pa pala dapat naningil sa kanya sa abalang nagawa niya sakin.
Incident 2:
While crossing an intersection na walang stoplight eh ayan si hagibis pinilit isinaksak yung motor niya between me at yung kasalubong kong jeep sa other lane by doing the snake style driving, ang resulta ayun nawalan ng control si loko at nag skid dahil mabuhangin yung lugar ayun umabot pa siya sa tambakan nung buhangin sa gilid dahil sa construction. sabay pa kaming nagsabi nung jeepney driver ng buti nga sayo engot ka magmotor eh.![]()
ngayon lang nagsignal ako pakaliwa kita ko malayo yung motor nung eksakto kakaliwa na ko bumulaga ba naman sa kaliwa ko ga buhok buti na lang kulot na kulot kundi bulagta sya sa kanto sya pa may ganang magalit na titig deym....
I would also like to share my experience with those MC before with our war Mazda B2500 pickup which was already sold. It was hit on the rear bumper 2x, same side.
One incident was along Batasan Road. Afternoon and traffic was fairly light to moderate, we were stopped waiting for left turn or U turn at the intersection towards Filinvest 1 then suddenly I felt my car jerked and I heard a bang. I looked at my mirror and saw tricycles and people looking at my rear. I got out of the car then I saw the MC rider cleaning his shorts since he hit my bumper and fell. He even showed me the scratches on his knees due to his fall. I didn't give a f*ck. I asked what happened, he replied "nagipit ako." Then I said "kaya binangga mo ako?" No sorry from him and reiterated that he didn't get enough space to squeeze his junk. Then I said just take care next time leaving him with people around him with all those scratches on his knees.
Next was along Quirino Hiway. That was the time when there were still a lot of road works in that area and there were lots of potholes that was fairly big with a pool of water. 2 cars in front of me slowed down since there was a pothole. When it was my turn, after my rear tires just got out of the hole, the car jerked. I thought the engine died. Then I saw a man at my back and I just said "well I'd be damned if this idiot hit me." I got out of my car and looked, there he was cleaning himself and there were parts of his pants that got wet. I asked what happened, his reason was we were slow and I did a sudden brake so it was already late when he tried to change lane. Stupid riders. Then I said that there is a big pothole there and there were cars in front too, the same with the first, I just told him be careful next time and left his dirty ass there.
At least all I got was just a big dent on the right side of my bumper since it was metal. Man, I love that truck. That was my war car.hehe
I myself am a rider, I ride everyday, it is my alternative transportation since I returned the car to my mom.
One thing I hate about other riders is that they don't keep their distance, riding a motorbike in essence is dangerous as we don't have any protection like bumpers, roofs and seatbelts. If in case something will happen, we will definitely fall on the ground.
One thing about lane-splitting, I myself hate it, but at times I have to do it for safety reasons, e.g. someone might hijack my MC, and of course, standing under the sun can really be hot. So every time I lane split I do it on the opposite lane where I could see incoming vehicles and pedestrians and vehicles turning left to counter flow.
There was one scenario, I went to Lipa, Batangas from San Pedro, Laguna. While I was transversing the National Highway, just past SM Sta. Rosa, I was on full stop, then suddenly a rider bump into my left rear footpeg, I yelled on him "Matuto ka kasi dumistansya! Nga-nga!" Though he apologised, I still keep my distance from other riders, ika nga eh... pinapauna ko na sila.
Riding is fun and cost-effective, however riders and cagers alike must share the road without offending each other (though I know most of the offenders are some pesky riders.)
Oh, and one more thing, those Mios with loud mufflers annoys me, they are scooters so we don't hear them change gear, it's just one loud continuous blow until the rider releases the throttle, or until you hear them crash... hehe!
Kung di ba naman sira ulo tong mga motor. Kaninang umaga after I brought my son who is in grade 3 sa USLS (Im from Bacolod), etong si motor 125 cc siguro yun buntot ng buntot sa akin galing doon sa overpass sa North Terminal ng Bacolod City broooom brooom. Nang dumating kami doon malapit sa Ayala North Point as I am turning right, akalain mo ba namang minura ako dahil hindi daw ako nag pa overtake. Eh gago man siguro yun dahil I was driving straight and from the North Terminal hangang sa kanto ng North Point never even changed lane. I was cruising at steady speed of 80kph, heck I was not even driving on the passing lane and wala namang traffic. NAKA SHABU KA TO? At 46 years of existence in this world first time a kid young enough to be my nephew shouted at me.
siguro sir. walang helmet helmet e hahahaha. anyways, i hope he will meet somebody na sira din ang ulo one day.
