Agree. Call internet forums old, but the quality of discussions here are much better.

This happened Monday. This colorum van was counterflowing somewhere near CCP. I was already running late, so I thought, might as well. I didn't engage the driver or anything, just waited patiently to see what he would do as he couldn't go back to his lane because of the center island.

First photo was him backing up, second was him passing on my right.

Not in photo: the other motorists on my lane getting mad when he was doing this. (Sana hindi ako yung binubusinahan nila haha)

Also not in photo: Black Fortuner behind me who seemed to be "supportive" of what I was doing. It also tried to block the van after it passed me.

(Photos not from a dashcam, but still on-topic hehe)

Di maglalakas loob yan kung walang kapit yan or kung hindi pulis yan.

Yes.

With the case filed against them and with the overwhelming evidence, then have to step back.

The victim (Punzalan) has all the ace cards in this case.

On Topic, I just use my dashcam to capture the journey. Sometimes in timelapse mode. If it captures any violation, that just a bonus.

In accidents, it's usually a case of he said, she said. Especially if it happened in an area without witnesses. That's why the police would still use tape measures of the vehicles' position, skid marks, lane marking and try to decipher who's at fault. With a dashcam recording, guess who has the answer?

diba dapat we are responsible enough to post truthfully.

Long live Minicarph! You are not only very brilliant but also very honest.

I noticed that when i checked out their page yesterday.

On the other hand, JD's page following has really grown. Generally better audience too unlike that on the TGP page. Hope JD can keep it that way as i already saw an idiot ex-officemate of mine posting comments on his page too.

IMO JD's content attracts more decent people, TGP attracts more...well, you know what kind of people. JD's articles seem like they have a much more positive vibe about them. VS seems like such a negative guy. Perhaps all that negativity attracts negative people.

I agree on the points that JD has generally been a positive news person and he really advocates for motoring issues. I've been following him since C! Vol.1 Issue 1 as I likened his writing style to how Car and Driver was in the 90s. As for the TGP head, I'm not fond of that guy either but i cannot comment much since i have not encountered him personally nor do i follow his writings, however from his day 1 in TGP I already saw some negative vibes in his writing style.

[Sarsi]

Even before TGP, VBS has been controversial when was still writing for a broadsheet, i forgot which broadsheet, but that was way way back.

[niky]

Vernon is just more combative than James. They often have similar advocacies, but James is more of the selfie/instagrammy type than Vernon, who prefers to work through TGP than to push his agendas in person... probably the difference is that Vernon started as a print guy, while James, starting as a DJ, has always been more of a multi-media personality.

The case, technically, isn't very strong. As we all know, TGPh wasn't the primary source of misinformation, and it was the biker pages and Nuffsaid society spreading the guy's real name and info around calling for blood.

The problem is, there's a chance of a civil case prospering, because you don't need to prove that the information was wrong or that TGPh was the primary source... just malicious intent (which is highly debatable) and the lack of due diligence.

Granted, Deakin and others also posted, but they're not media outlets per se... just people... so TGPh is the easy target.

-

Either way, TGPh has stepped back to remove itself from the story... so all the trollsters only have Deakin's page to play on, now.
