Happened at the intersection of J.P. Rizal St. and A. Bonifacio St. here in Marikina. This is just after getting off Marikina Bridge. Left turners from A. Bonifacio to J.P. Rizal are allowed most times of the day, but crossing either way in J. P. Rizal isn't. Coming from J. P. Rizal you have to get under the bridge to go to the other side. So the SUV is clearly at fault, although the rider share a great deal of blame either. He's riding at an unsafe speed especially there is the intersection there. Pedestrian, if not vehicles, may suddenly cross or sometimes there are taxis there that makes a U-turn just a few meters after the bridge.

tska parang nag brake na yung MC pero pilit parin lumusot sa harap
di ko konsinte yun ginawa nung suv pero kung buhay ko nakasalalay, di ko pilit sa harap nung suv dumaan. dapat si mc nag brake harder then sa likod ng suv dumaan kung nasasayangan sya sa oras nya kung mag full stop sya

hindi ata naturuan ng defensive driving ang nag banggaan.

that dark tint on the fortuner probably kept the fortuner driver safe from the sun and that speeding rider.

i am not familiar with that area.
are total strangers, new to the place, aware of these "rules" ?
are signage clear?

To be honest, kaya may paranoia na ako every time I get to an intersection.

Kahit halimbawa nasa lugar pa ako (ex. green light) or may right of way man, hindi mo masabi kung may sira ulo na bigla na lang haharurot- kotse man or motor.

Note: Hindi ko rin kinukunsinte yung SUV since sabi bawal daw ata yung ginagawa niya (di ako familar with the place).

In any case, as pointed out nga, common sense should prevail. Lalo nang ganyan, helmet lang pananga mo. Kahit tama ka pa, eh kung patay ka naman.Mabuti pa nga siguro kung patay. What if you're condemned to spend the rest of your life paralyzed from the neck down for example? Even if lahat pa ng pera sa Central Bank pa ibigay sa iyo, aannihin mo naman yun?

Kahit nga mali, kung nakalusot sila pa galit at babalikan ka pa ng tingin [emoji16]

Yan exactly ang katwiran ko, eh ano kung tama ako eh kung wala naman akong laban or ako rin naman maaabala. Akala nila pag tama sila, superman sila [emoji1787]

Agree. As I stated in my original post the SUV has no right to be there. At the least, he is an inconvenience and a hazard sa mga sasakyan na nanggagaling sa tulay. At most, ayan at aksidente nga mangyayari. From the comments, mukhang patay daw yung rider. Not to beat a dead horse so to speak, pero the rider shares the blame also dahil sa sobrang bilis nya magpatakbo.

May rule of thumb diyan eh I only go as fast as how my brakes can handle a sudden stop, especially nga kung may sasakyan sa unahan... or in approaching intersections.

May sign naman ang alam ko na "No Crossing". Pero since marami din talagang nagbe-break nyan kung maluwag ang trapiko or walang enforcer, parang suggestion na lang kung minsan ang dating nung sign. Kung medyo baguhan sa lugar nakakalito rin talaga. Pero madalas naman may enforcers diyan who can either guide you, or pwedeng mapagtanungan.

To be honest, kaya may paranoia na ako every time I get to an intersection.

As what I always point out also. You may have the right of way, pero it could be that you sustain the greater damage. Suppose the accident affected the vehicle's frame, and sasagutin naman ng other party. Pero syempre hindi na rin kapareho nung bago siya maaksidente. Like pwedeng mag-iba ang handling, or not as safe kung ma-involve na naman sa isang aksidente.

About naman sa intersections, I always approach it more alert with the brakes than the gas pedal. How alert will depend na lang kung may countdown timer ba si stoplight or kung regular traffic lights lang. Kahit nga yung green from standstill di ka rin pwedeng basta sumugod na lang kasi daming mga kamoteng beating the red light.

Kamote riders think they are eternals they risk life and limb to get to a place a few mins faster... I don't see the logic of risking your life like that.. parang walang kwenta na halos buhay nila sa actions nila.. sadly.

Naku, yung mga countdown timer na yan, sa ibang motorista (4 wheels or 2 wheels) tingin nila diyan countdown timer sa drag race

Gusto pa nila mag jackrabbit start yung nasa harapan nila (bubusinahan/iilawan ka pa- kala mo kanila yung kalsada).
Although may sense of urgency naman dapat pag nag green na so you won't become a nusiance on the road (ibang species naman din ng k*pal driver yun), hindi mo naman pwedeng PALIPARIN kaagad porke't green na. Mali naman din yun.


Besides, it might not be safe na hindi obvious or nakikita ng driver sa likod mo- for example, pag left turn ko at a cross shaped intersection, may mga sira-ulong motor na nag counterflow pala into the lane you're turning into (madalas na yan ngayon).

i wonder,
why are these timers off, in a number of stoplights?
sayang naman at hindi ginagamit...

[ray_noel]

Pag madami building, minsan nag drift yan gps signal kaya erratic yung guidance ng waze..

again as driver mas alam nya dapat kung saan sya papunta.. hindi yung parang bulag na kung san dalhin eh sunod lang.. hehe

Happened to me once kasi first time ko sa place…
I think there’s s first time for everyone… [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji4]

True true. Dito kapag may intersection or eskinita sa gilid, maghinay-hinay ka. Hindi mo talaga alam kung anong nilalang bigla na lang sumusulpot.

Dyan banda sa madrigal business park.. alabang area.. may stoplight dyan sa intersection.. yung counter mag ZERO na.. pero naka red light pa din.. kaya madami nagugulat.. napapa GO kahit stop pa.. kasi nga inaantay yung count down..

[gearhead000]

Happened to me also. Dito naman sa may 20th Avenue sa Cubao. So I was waiting for the countdown timer. Then nung nag-zero na at clear naman ang intersection dumiretso na ako. Gulat ko nung nasa gitna na naka-red pa rin. Nag-apologize na lang ako via hand sign dun sa left turner na kasalubong ko. Nag-zero na sa side namin pero may iba pa pala munang mag-gigreen. One time lang naman ito as I was really in a hurry at that time. Otherwise, I wait for the green light mismo before I go.

Yup, madalas ito. Yung stoplight ng 20th at Bonny Serrano pati yung sa kabila sa P. Tuazon. Nagkakaganyan sya dahil may delay ata minsan sa timer. Ubos na yung countdown ng red eh hindi pa 0 sa green kaya naghihintay si red light. Nabiktima na rin ako once nyan kaya di na ko nagdedepend sa timer nyang stoplight na yan.
