unb-116 yabang mo

[Wouie]

just remember to use the left lane only for overtaking, pag clear ang right lane kahit ano pang speed mo dapat stay ka dito.

[falken]

Well, another thing you could have done is (if you had the intention of yielding to him) is to turn on the right hand signal, para hindi siya makulit magflash ng lights, even if you're on the maximum speed limit, you still cannot cruise on the leftmost lane, that lane is reserved for faster vehicles, problema na niya kung gusto pa rin niyang magoverspeed.

[pixelparadigm]

Sa germany, hindi right hand signal ang ginagamit to tell somebody infront of you that you want to overtake. They use the left hand signal. Kaso baka pag ginamit mo yun dito, baka mapagkamalan ka na mag-ooff-road ka just to overtake. But the left hand signal is logical since you could easily see it on your side mirror instead of it appearing on your blind spot.

[OTEP]

The best thing to do, as what falken has stated, is to show some courtesy by starting to flash your right signal lamps. At least the other vehicle knows that you recognize his intention to overtake.

If said SUV was on a 'power run', he should have his left hand signal flashing kahit malayo pa lang siya to indicate to you that he is indeed going to run at full power. Kapag hindi ka tumabi, a flash or two is still considered a polite warning. In my case, I go full brights and turn on the foglamps if the vehicle blocking the lane does not recognize my intention after a minute or so. Then I sound the horn afterwards (baka nga naman nakatulog sa passing lane).

As what the other posters have mentioned, it does not matter if he was breaking the speed limit or not. Always yield to the faster vehicle. Hindi naman mahirap iyan. I drive a slow-a$$ truck, that's why I know. I spend most of the day driving in the slow lane.

Pero siyempre there are days that I'm actually driving something with a semblance of engine power. And I do expect some level of courtesy from the slower motorists on such instances.

[cumbersome]

As narrated by the threadstarter, he would have given way immediately, but the other lane was ocupied by two buses running at similar speeds, and there were only two lanes. Perhaps, the mentioned SUV should have been more considerate given that deccelarating, or accelerating would take a bit more time compared to simply changing lanes. If he demands courtesy, he should be willing to give it, and blaring sirens are not exactly the most polite of gestures. A little patience could go a long way.

[OTEP]

But the other party never knew the the threadstarter's intention to yield as he had failed to explicitly express it. Yun na nga, hanggang intention na lang. How would the other party know?

Maybe it resulted in a miscommunication between the two said vehicles. From what distance did the SUV start to warn the threadstarter about his intentions to pass? Kung malayo pa lang, nag-express na siya, he would naturally expect a response by the time he was within spitting distance. Kung malapit na siya nag-express ng intention to pass, he should allow for some time to garner a reaction. I'm saying this on the assumption that the threadstarter did see said signals and knew what they meant.

Of course, no one around here is for the illegal use of emergency audio/visual warning systems.

100mph ba? o 100kmh? : )

Roadrage never pays...its not worth to argue and be pissed off...its a public road that we all need to share.....we are not in the authority to discipline other drivers but its our responsibility to follow rules and extend road courtesy to others. Seeing other people violate the rules doesn't give us the right to do whatever we want.

We're not monkeys...monkey's immitate what they see (monkey see, monkey do).....

tsong, ganon din dito sa pinas... left hand signal pag gusto mong sumenyas na oovertake ka sa harap mo.

[wilcats]

hayaan mo na ung feeling na un.. bka nga najejebz ahehehe

[papao]

bigla n lng sya sumulpot sa likod ko...den bryt lyts..kya nga nandun ako sa left lane..kasi wla naman sasakyan nun sa likod ko..buti sana kung malayo pa lng ng bryt lyts na sya skin e di nkapag deccelerate sana ako at lumpat sa likod ng bus....

[ILuvDetailing]

bro, mali ka ata, ewan ko lang baka iba lang nagturo saten driving, pero sa driving pag mag oovertake ang kotse sa likod mo. courtesy mag slow down para maka overtake ang likod ng kotse kaagad.

pag flash kasi ng ilaw, iinterpret yan usually overtaking, pag overtake, bat sya bibilis? e di lalo di ka makaovertake nun.

baka may problema ang sasakyan nyo o wala sa condition kaya 40kph at gewang gewang, especially pag warak na ang wheel bearings nya

Sir, may mali nga ako... pero my point is he didn't need to slow down abruptly in front of me after I flashed my headlights a bonehead move on his part, he's already driving dangerously slow and causing a logjam behind me, and if he has a problem with his car, he should have it fixed right? if not he will be a danger to himself and other motorists.

[OTEP]

Yes, roadrage never pays. That is why it is up to us to know the rules and how things go on the road so as to avert similar situations.

Sa tagal ko nang nagmamaneho ng mababagal na sasakyan, nasanay na akong magbigay sa mga mas matutulin sa akin. Or at least show them that I know they want to pass and will let them do so when the next available oppurtunity comes.

We are not on the road to discipline others, tama iyan. But we should discipline ourselves.

Dont get me wrong here

Pero nasa nlex din me kagabi ang daming mabagal sa left lane pag nag bright
ako lalong bumabagal and then pa brake brake pa! HELLO! di ba sya
natatakot na sa pa brake brake nya e sumablay ang brakes ko malamang
patay kaming dalawa e din naman ako masya dong mabilis kaya
lang mga pinoy pag na bliblinkanpa brake brake, o lalong
babagalan

Konting ingat ingat sa kalsada lang dahil baka dumerederecho ang SUV
lugi rin naman ang mga cars diba? ingat ingat na lang

Exactly my point on my post earlier... also nakakainis din yung mababagal na sasakyan comming from the right lane lilipat sa lane mo eh ang bagal naman ng takbo wala namang sasakyan sa harap nila

[OTEP]

Pansin ko din iyan.

Kapag daytime sa NLEX, I'm usually running with my lights on already para when I pull out to pass malayo pa lang visible na. And I do keep my lefty flashing. Kapag medyo malapit na ko and NR pa din or deadma, magbibigay na ko ng dalawang flash.

Aba, ako pa ang papakitaan ng obscene gestures! Ang babastos talaga!

[schnitzerz4]

hehehehhe sana wag tayo maka sabay sa mga ganung tao

[mbt]

hehe well sad to say, bara-bara yung driver education dito. highway protocol is not even taught in even the popular driving schools i think

[falken]

Wala na nga yatang nagtuturo ng road courtesy, kadalasan mga nakakasalubong mo sa daan puro mga barumbado na magmaneho.

[silverbx986]

you try to flash someone to move over and what do they do? they become more aggresive at makikipag karera sayo or they bacome passive and slow down further tapos sabay tapak pa ng brake. cause lang ng aksidente. kulang kse ng road courtesy dyan e. saka daming maiinit ang ulo.
