Vehicular Accidents

[CVT]

tailgating is a dangerous maneuver, if you want to pass the car in front of you flash your light or honk once to let the driver of the car in front of you know of your intention and I'm pretty much sure he will understand this kind of gestures unless he's an a$$hole, imho

You and I know,- that almost of the drivers in our country are bonafide a$$holes, bro... No respect whatsoever for the other drivers.

That is why,- keep the intersection open, no obstruction of traffic (including keep up with the flow of traffic, lane discipline and not drive your drive and the heck with the other drivers), turn right anytime with caution, no sudden stopping unless on designated shoulder among others,- common international practices,- would not work here...

Of course, it takes two to tango....

it's not just a tango.
it's a rigodon de honor.
heh heh.

It is good to know that people in my this forum is so conscientious as to abhor tailgating given the traffic situation in the metropolis. I can only hope that we all practice what we preach. If we have the opportunity to change the world, let us change the word... for the better.

If all lanes are moving on the same pace, then keep your pace until finding the opportunity to speed up or switch to the slower lane.

"Same pace".. that's the usual scenario before these "karambola" multi vehicle crashes.

Even if you have the best brakes, the other vehicles wont have the best brakes.

even if you have the best brakes, but you have a lousy body with weak reflexes and weaker leg and foot muscles, powered by a weak brain that keeps dilly-dallying...

"distancia, amigo." "if you can read this, then you're too close." as early as the early 60s..

when i accepted my job assignment back home 6 years ago, i told my wife that my defensive driving mindset acquired overseas has been stretched beyond the limit while driving in our local roads.
i was trained like not to change lanes if not required or keeping distance against the car in-front of me but i feel that i would be stuck or will arrive late most of the time if i followed the textbook driving guide!
parang na culture shock ako in my own backyard.
kaya no choice ako if driving back home but to follow the "do as the romans do" concept.

don't get me wrong bro... am still a defensive driver no matter what but sometimes when it comes to cars getting ahead of me in metro traffic condition i don't budge an inch most of the time. but, i know when to give you a space and always do that.

before i couldn't care less if one car will always sneak in front of me. but usually, others will follow if i am keeping always a car length in front of me.

Yes bro.

Pero, on the flipside,- dalhin mo ang mga angas na Pinoy drivers na ito(tayo) sa ibang bansa na nagpapatupad ng traffic laws etc.

Aba e napaka-duduwag naman. At urong ang mga !tlog sa pagmamaneho... Nalusaw ang lahat ng angas....

Whoever here hasn’t checked his smart phone for texts or emails or posts while driving has my utmost respect. And yet, texting or emailing or posting while driving is as dangerous, if not more so, as tailgating or driving with one drink too many.

kawawa naman yung costumer na bumili ng repaired vehicle...

most drivers in Pinas will get irritated and felt threatened once you flash the headlights and honk. either they move aside and let you pass, move faster or they don't budge at all. others may even let you pass but once they saw your car and they think they have better one, they go to your back and start doing the same thing. worst, tailgating you with their headlights high beam on.

Sa US or Europe siguro pero dito sa Pinas, nakupow.

i fully agree.

That's the misconception of many motorists. They think that if they're already at the speed limit, they shouldn't budge.

Always give way to overtaking vehicles. If they want to go over the speed limit, unless you're a traffic cop, you're not in a position to prevent them.

Sadly there are idiots who think that they can hog the leftmost/fast/passing lane if they are driving at the speed limit. Even if you are driving over the speed limit, move away from the passing lane unless you are to pass someone slower in front of you.

If you are in my way, I will find a way to pass you rather than waste my time trailing you lousily cruising at the speed limit.

Hahahahha. Tailgating bastards

Sideswiping? Could this be another effect of improperly adjusted sidemirrors?
