Why is it that there are fewer disciplined drivers?

[Yoda]

Most people argue that drivers need to be disciplined. Sa tignin ko isa lang ang kailangan: true law enforcement. Kapag ipinapatupad ang batas, it will follow - titino ang mga drivers.

Tama sabi ni roydok. Matitino ang mga Pinoy kapag nasa ibang bansa. Bakit? Takot lang nila!

Dito, konting lagay, may lisensya ka na. (I, for one, can proudly say that my license is "legal". Wala red tape na nakakabit dyan, mga pre!) Run a red light, ok lang. Iwasan mo lang yung pumapara sa iyong MMDA, baka mabundol mo. Counterflow? Way of life na dito yan.

AND ALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T ENFORCE THE FREAKING LAW!

It seems to me Pinoy drivers actually pay attention to stoplights now. That's quite a change from the last time I visited the place.

just sharing...

when we came back (to the Philippines). I enrolled my wife and daughter sa A1.

They were amazed sa classroom and practical exams nila. my daughter almost didn't pass the practical test for motorcycles. Safety gear was required for motorcycle practical.

2 years later, a friend of my wife enrolled sa driving school beside A1. She finds A1 too expensive, hassle din daw yung 3 classroom days required ng A1.

Motorcycle - someone arrived with a Fazio daw and asked her if marunong sya mag bike... they just saw her drive straight and back... ok na daw yun.

Car - they just drove inside a private village

Classroom was only 1 day. they gave her a reviewer tapos self study na lang daw sya.

A month later, they messaged her to look for a specific guy sa isang specific LTO branch. No tests sa LTO. they just gave her a license.

Yes, nakakalungkot na this happened last year. 2024 na, may fixer pa din sa LTO.

Same lady friend drives to work... and rides her scooter during coding days. Buti I managed to convince her to get a proper helmet. You have no idea how hard it was for me and my wife to convince her to get proper gloves and shoes... riding jacket is still an ongoing challenge.

Pero until we have proper education for would be drivers... dadami lang ng dadami ang undiciplines drivers sa daan.

I refuse to use the word kamote... Nung 90's PUV drivers and "kamote" kasi kapag nagkaroon ng accident, they will scratch their heads kasi wala silang pambayad...

Nowadays, we have lots of undisciplined/uneducated drivers na may pambayad... so they don't scratch their heads kasi they can pay for the damage they've done.

Takot sa NCAP

unless it's a solo, it usually takes two to dance.

Takot sa NCAP

If that's what it takes? it's still progress. I'm pleasantly surprised with traffic discipline in Manila, the short time it takes to get from Pamplona, LPC to the airport, the overall cleanliness at my neighborhood there.
