unb-116 yabang mo

[Elroi]

tapos eto may gsto magovertake sakin, nasa left lane kasi ako, ankulit, suv pa nagbrybryt lyt sakin para tuambi ako, e may bus sa tabi ko na sumsabay lng rn sa takbo ko saka may bus din sya na snusndan, tapos etong suv atat na atat paalisin ako sa lane e di nman ako kagad mkakaalis kasi dalawang bus un nasa tabi ko tapos naktutuk sya sa likod ko and talgang ngbryt lyt p sya, ayun down shft ako, rumatrat na ako

nakaratrat ka na, siguro naman pati bus ay naovertakan mo na at nakalipat ka na sa right lane..

tapos ng naiwan na sya ng malayo na hndi ko na nkikita sa mirror ko balik na ako sa 100kph an takbo ko tapos ng nkta ako ng wang wang n blinkers na sa likod ko..ano kaya trip nun...

and yet you're still on the left lane..

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..

so it means he came from the right lane, goes to the left to overtake and there you are on the left lane.

i traverse the NLEX at least 2x a week from balintawak to san simon, kaya i have lots of experiences sa mga ganyang drivers. kahit kaya mo silang lampasan at cruising speed, i think you need to speed up a little while overtaking.. and then go back to ur cruising speed upon returning to the right lane.. ang gawi ko kasi, i always turn my left blinker on bago at habang umo-overtake, then right blinker naman pag lilipat na sa kanan. sorry to say this and no offense meant but based on my observation sa kwento mo, you're the one hugging the left lane...

although mali yung SUV for illegal use of blinkers and siren... it's better na pagbigyan na lang natin yung mga ganun klaseng driver kesa maging cause pa ng accident... malay natin baka naman talagang emergency yun at di lang sya marunong gumamit ng hazard lights.. ngayon kung kupal lang talaga sya magdrive, edi hayaan mong sya na lang..road courtesy and defensive driving lang po ang ating pairalin...

[ozcity]

para saan ba yung speed limit?

[zeagle]

I remember when our family would go out of town like baguio during the 70's, drivers then were very courteous. People pull over when you give them a blink and high beams turn low when you give them a blink. Nowadays, it seems that to each his own. Napakasama na talaga ng ugali nating pinoy ngayon. Really sad.

[papao]

raikonen,
sir sa bandang dulo ng nlex nde namn ako pede sa ryt lane palagi, kasi pag nasa ryt lane ako mga trak makakasabay ko..2 lanes lng naman un nandun..i just maintain my speed of 100kph..di ako mkaaktkbo ng 100 pag sa ryt lane ako.and wla naman ganon kadami sasakyan ng mga 10pm dun..

[ihateyouandme]

. Napakasama na talaga ng ugali nating pinoy ngayon. Really sad.

so true!there are really few people who can be categorized as reall "good".

[ozcity]

tingin ko tama ka..kasi hindi ka naman lumagpas sa 100kph which is the speed limit...sabagay hindi uso sa pinas ang limit na yan... ..madami lang talagang mayayabang at abusero sa pinas..

[theveed]

papao: Your reasonings are still not valid. May kotse man o wala sa left lane YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CRUISING ON THE PASSING LANE.

The left lane should be CLEAR at all times if no one is overtaking. You mentioned that 10PM na nun and konti lang traffic, lalo na walang dahilan for you NOT to be able to get back to the right lane and maintain speed there. If you must weave in and out to avoid slower vehicles sa right lane, then that what you must do, you're NOT supposed to stay on the left. Period.

In short, this incident is a case of both parties are at fault.

[baurtwellXUV]

theveed's explanation is good. tama sya na dapat cruisin ka lang naman dapat nasa right lane... pero i dont think na nasusunod yang 100k/m dyan sa NLEX. sometimes nag eexceed pa nga yung ibang mga cars or SUV's eh.. kaya ingat ingat sa pagdrdrive...

[hens]

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

dude, baka nataranta lang yun?..

kahit ako, matataranta ako sayo..hehehe ang hirap nung nagdri-drive ka habang nakatingin sa rearview/side mirror..(gwapo kasi yung oto nasa likod).

Share ko lang experience ko kahapon re: overtaking. This was in Italy. On the Autostrade (freeway) from Livorno to Florence.

I observed that driving discipline has been properly instilled in these people (at least on the highways, kasi sabi ng iba, barumbado daw Italians sa city streets. Sabi ko naman, parang Pinoy din sila mag-drive sa city streets, masahol pa tayo kung minsan)

At one point, I was running at 120kph on the left lane and there wasn't any vehicles on the right. I was just cruising...tapos, bigla kong napansin na may nakatutok sa likod ko. I then moved to the right and let the BMW pass. A few kms down the road again, the same incident happened, and I moved over to the right, and an Audi TT passed me. From then on, I stayed on the right lane until I encountered a slower vehicle, then passed it when I had the chance. (there was an MB that passed me after tailing me for a while and gave me a frown, as if saying: f$*&in' tourist)

What I have learned: Drivers there, just tail you (when you are in the left lane) and get real close to make their presence known. However, they DO NOT blink their lights or blow their horns, or turn on their wang-wangs. They wait for you to move to the right (when you are ready by turning on your right signal, kasi di ka naman basta kakabig to the right) and then pass you. Now those gestures made me feel comfortable (driving) kahit nasa ibang bansa ako. Walang bubusina, flashing of headlights or wang-wangs. Di ako kinabahan, but rather, nahiya pa ako. So for the rest of the trip to Florence, I stayed on the right lane as much as I can, and passed trucks and slower cars only when necessary.

(on the way back, though...I was mostly on the left lane along with other cars running at 120-160kph. IT WAS FUN!) btw, it is a rule there that all vehicles must have their headlights ON when driving on the Autostrade.

hayaan mo na siya papao. kulang lang sa pansin ang taong ganyan.

[theveed]

yun nga din yung point, dito kahit tutukan na ng 1 kilometrong trafik sa likod DI PADIN LILIPAT SA SLOW LANE pre... hehe ganun ka sama dito.

[pparado]

kakaasar nga e, 'no? parang sa loob-loob e: ah basta, dito ako...bahala ka dyan sa buhay mo.

[mbt]

pparado,

unfortunately, the same doesn't apply here. kung tututok ka lang sa kotse na squatting on the left lane, di ka papansinin nun probably hehe, hence the need for signaling. pati sa US medyo ganyan din, kailangan ng "gentle reminder" minsan, far as i can tell

ser mbt,

I agree to that too!

[shadowfax]

tama lang yung ginawa mo nasa speed limit ka pa... pasaway lang yung patrol na yun... di makapaghintay at nagmamadali....

[falken]

raikonen,
sir sa bandang dulo ng nlex nde namn ako pede sa ryt lane palagi, kasi pag nasa ryt lane ako mga trak makakasabay ko..2 lanes lng naman un nandun..i just maintain my speed of 100kph..di ako mkaaktkbo ng 100 pag sa ryt lane ako.and wla naman ganon kadami sasakyan ng mga 10pm dun..

Wala naman sa oras yun eh. Ang left lane is strictly for overtaking only, hindi na lang sinusunod ng iba ngayon ( puwedeng dahil sa katigasan ng ulo, o di nila alam which is no excuse) The basic rule of driving in the highways is cruise on the right, overtake on the left. Kahit na nasa speed limit ka na, kailangan padaanin mo pa rin siya, bahala na siya kung mahuli siya for overspeeding. Although mali pa rin ang ginawa niyang pag wang wang sa iyo.

[papao]

hay golay bahala na sya sa buhay nya..makahanap lng sya ng katapat nya na mawangwang nya.hehe..

[Dinxx]

Actually mahirap yung situation na yan. parang yung example ni papao. nasa 2 lane part siya ng expressway. then may dalawang magkasunod na bus sa right lane travelling at 85 kph( for ex.) what if im driving a not so fast car travelling at 90 kph. My intenion, ofcourse is to overtake the two buses by using the left lane. at 90 kph it would take awhile to overtake the two buses so i would at least try to go up to 100 kph. but what if a blazing SUV travelling 130 kph with flashing lights, suddenly pops up on your rear view mirror, while your only half on your overtaking task (remember: 2 buses)
what will I do?
I dont want to block the SUVs path and irritate him, but i also dont want to force myself to go faster than my normal speed.

[Marc MD]

ah bahala siya basta ako nagoovertake din kaya maghintay siya!! mag wangwangan kami hanggang umaga!! wheeeee!!
