Bakit ang Pinoy ang hilig magpalit ng gulong - sa gitna ng daan?

[webmiester]

Bakit ba ang mga pinoy, ang hilig magpalit ng gulong - sa gitna ng daan?

I recall sa Sta. Mesa, where there is only a 2 lane st. at around 6:45am, may taxi na nagpapalit ng flat niyang gulong. He apparently wasnt able to move his car to the rightmost lane completely kaya he was occupying almost half of the left lane causing traffic.

On his right is a sidewalk, and on the right of the sidewalk is - A huge, empty parking lot. Yung entrance of the parking lot is right in front of him...

Can't he just roll the car a little more to the parking lot, tapos kausapin yung guard para few mins lang siya magpapalit ng gulong?

Ive seen this often. Sometimes, may gasoline station naman na katabim pero sa kalye pa rin sila magpapalit! Ang labo talaga. Kaya tama rin si Bayani, kapag naflat ka sa EDSA, you run it flat until you find an emergency bay. If malayo pa ang emergency bay, then enter any of the sidestreets and do the repair there.

I get the impression that many drivers want to be seen para maawa sa kanila yung iba.

baka sa gitna na inabutan

One time though, na flat ako sa Roxas Blvd. Some nail on the 3rd lane near the CCP stoplight. Pinilit ko yun car ko na magright para sa tabi ako ng CCP bago ako magpalit. Some drivers talaga ayaw magpabigay, kahit na nagsignal na ako na magleft ako. Hay naku!

kung itatabi nya ng todo eh malamang pati goma nya eh masira kasi running flat.kaya dun na lang nya pinalitan sa daan mismo.tapos baka hindi kanya yung taxi eh tyak pag nasira gulong eh sa kanya babawasin yung presyo ng goma.medyo nakakainit nga ng ulo pero sa isang parte eh pagpasensyahan na lang natin.

[jojoy67]

Ayaw nila masira yung gulong nila.....
okey lang mabanga sila basta buo parin yun gulong

I don't think na masisira ang gulong kung itabi mo langng konti, hinde 10 kms ang itatakbo niya para itabi...

They just don't know any better.

One of the reasons might be the belief that driving a car with a flat tire (even for a few meters) will damage the deflated tire.

[pitbullz]

wag naman kayo ganyan...hindi naman lahat ng tao perpekto...
numaba na lang kayo at tulungan syang magpalit.

pag natangal kc ung gulong hasle kc e. at dyahe tignan lalo n pag lumalagatok ang goma mo

once flat ako sa erod jollibee gusto ko lng maitabe s 711 erod ntangal ang gulong? so san ung sinasabi nyo na maganda itabe risky din kc pag tinakbo na flat...

[Galactus]

For the simple reason siguro na sa tingin niya masisira yung gulong niya o alanganin na ang tumabi.

Well, it might be true especially for steel-belted tires, hindi na maganda ang structural integrity ng tires, mainly the sidewall, kung ni-run flat.

Consider it this way. If your tire gets flat, and you'd rather replace it on the road, would you want to risk injury and possibly your life if some inattentive driver came barreling down your way and did not see you, or worse, pretended not to see you? To think sa probinsiya so I heard, standard procedure patayin na lang yung tao para menos gastos sa hospital bills pag nasagi mo't buhay pa?

Is your tire worth so much more than your life?

[coiter]

hay naku. mga walang paki sa road safety at courtesy yung mga ganyan. ang di nila naisip e malamang lamang naitakbo na nila ng flat yun for quite some time before nila marealize na flat na pala gulong nila. so what harm can a few more feet do para lang maitabi sa gilid ang sasakyan? hindi naman kelangan out of the road talaga. kahit igilid at iparallel lang sa gutter.

[shadow]

most drivers naman kasi dito sa atin didn;t have the proper trainings, so hinde rin nila siguro alam kung anong proper procedure kung na flat sila...

[zero]

imho, dapat may EWD siya a few meters from his vehicle para malaman ng mga motorists na kailangan nila mag-slow down at umiwas na rin ng lane. ito kasi ang silbi ng EWD.

if I may reiterate hinde masisira ang gulong pag tinabi ang sasakyan and beside sino ba nagsabi na itatakbo mo pa pag na flat ka na, you'll just roll it slowly to the side of the road...dyahe tingnan? ano ka artista meron ka bang image na dapat i-protect?..natural lang na ma-flat ang mag palit ng gulong..ang dyahe is yun tatanga-tanga na hinde marunong itabi sa gilid ng daanan at sa gitna mag palit...yun ang dyahe..

[meledson]

Ayaw masira ang gulong and/or rims. Para sa kanila, mas importante pa ang mga ito kaysa sa buhay nila, kaya kung saan na flat, duon na mismo magpapalit.

totally agree.

wla kasi training. sana mag bago na ang pinoy.. naiiwan na tayo ng mga countries like thailand, malaysia, etc.

I think it's indeed their belief that moving the car to a safer place a few meters away will destroy their tires.

Though I don't subscribe to Bayani Fernando's order to drivers to just run the cars with flat tires since these tires are already destroyed, I think you should still get your car out of the way of traffic, as much as possible, and reduce your exposure to risk in the process.

By leaving your car in the middle of the street and changing your tire there, you risk being sideswiped on the side of the tire being replaced, and you risk your car being scratched or sideswiped, accidentally or otherwise, on the other side. Plus, you're backing traffic up coz instead of just taking up about one side lane, you decide to stay in the middle of the road and ask everyone to avoid you from both sides.

Call your friendly neighborhood tow truck or the MMDA to get them to remove the obstruction. Tignan mo, in 15 min. tanggal 'yan.
