Too many PASAWAY motorcycle RIDERS on the street

[IMm29]

Indio? We're going there?

Kaya malakas loob nila sumigit, pumina, mag-counterflow, at mangharang dahil feeling nila sila panalo pag natamaan sila.

Exactly. Magmamakaawa, magmumukhang kawawa, paawa effect. Ang magaling na TE o pulis, magpapadala sa drama. Automatic, yung kabangga ng motor ang may kasalanan. Palibhasa ganun din mag-isip.

If you're a pint-sized Johnny Abarientos, and straight up drive on someone like Shaquille O'Neal and you come in contact, no matter if you're the aggressor, you'll still be the train wreck. The wise old referee will not call a foul, but the TE-mentality ref will penalize Shaq for standing his ground, or perhaps jumping straight up, but not initiating contact.

There was one rainy morning coming from Paseo de Roxas makati to Ayala Ave. I was in front of the stoplight and a motorcycle to my left. On green, the rider gunned it. He was on the middle lane and I was on the rightmost lane as I was going to turn right to Ayala. While nearing the Pen he started losing balance and skidded to my lane! I braked hard to avoid him and was able to stop half a car length away. On instinct I turned on the hazard lights, went out of my car and locked it. I helped the rider up as he was visibly shaken and in some kind of pain. A few moments later a swarm of riders were coming (as they usually do ) and asking the rider if I had anything to do with the accident. It looked like I bumped him. He cleared me and I rushed back to my car baka makuyug pa mahirap na. Ikaw na tumulong ma trouble ka pa.

sobrang dami ng motor para silang langaw sa lansangan! kung saan saan lumalabas/sumusulpot kakainis galit pa pag natamaan amp

^ 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.

basta may maaskidenteng mga riders ng motor biglang manghihimasok mga ulupong na ugaling squatters.

Ah .. may na-alala akong scenario;

Aguinaldo Highway, around 8 pm, raining moderately. We were going down from Tagaytay, traffic along the forked section of the road where going straight leads to Silang town proper, and turning left to bypass Silang town.

Turns out a passenger jeepney made a U turn and hit a riding in tandem. The motorcycle was literally in pieces. Some people and a traffic warden were helping a guy in a sando shirt and shorts. While the others were clumped on the second guy. All this while the rain was pouring.

Nung nakalampas na kami, nakasalubong namin una .. ambulansya! .. tapos may sumusunod na punerarya!

ganyan din tawag ko sa mga motor na malikot: langaw

akala ko ako lang nakaisip

[jspam]

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.

[morc]

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!

i don't mean to impose or to say that peste mga naka motor sa daan, pero there are times or most of the time, they act as pests. imagine, kaliwa't kanan, overtake without signal, lulusutan ka bigla bubusinahan ka pa, sila pa pasimuno ng counterflow, sasalubungin ka kahit sa traffic na daan at isisiksik sarili sa may stoplight tapos eh kanya kanyang tadyakan o pindutan inabutan ka na ng red light. diba nakaka pikon?

on the other side, hanga ako at saludo ako sa mga naka motor na maayos sa kalsada, yung mabait, nagpapadaan ng tao, di nagtetext di namamasyal sa highway, at marunong tumabi pag di mabilis takbo nakumpas pa na pinalalagpas ka.

i hope wala masaktan o magalit sa sinabi ko... its just that sana naman matutu rumespeto mga naka motor.

wala naman problema kung madami ang mc sa kalye. ang problema yung mga pasaway na riders. kulang na kulang sa disiplina. maraming walang road courtesy.

[vinj]

MCs are disregarding the motorcycle lanes on EDSA and Commonwealth. Sayang as i found these good since more or less, you are more aware of where they are.

Last night on EDSA i encountered two motorcycles who were recklessly swerving in and out of traffic. Yung isa muntikan na ma-bingo ng bus.

[A121]

Minsan ayaw nyan magpasingit sa motorcycle lane. Happened to me many times sa Philcoa. Pinauusukan ko na lang paggamit ko yung adventure.
