    I remember when I took the exam sa US for the driving, parallel parking and proper stopping yung practicals. Syempre, passed it one-time. Yung wife ko take 3, even had to bring chocolates for the officer conducting the exam

    Getting away with traffic violation? I'm an expert on driving down the road even my vehicle is not allowed on number coding days. I've never been caught for almost one year driving from my residence in Quezon City to our office in Port Area even passing through Quezon Avenue, Espana, Quiapo, Manila City Hall. But I don't practice this in Makati area because of bullshit MAPSA enforcers and their asshole mayor, besides I avoid quarrel. Hope this mayor lose in the VP elections and BF wins so that this stupid, ineffective number coding will be totally abolished.

    Yes, kinukuha pa ng mga kupaloid na ito license mo. May mga commission kasi mga ito sa nga multa kaya masipag sila mang-huli ng number coding violators. Look at every intersection in Makati, you will see MAPSA Yellow Boys not to direct smooth flow of traffic, but to apprehend number coding violators. I recall I have a colleague of mine from our association wherein he was apprehended for number coding violation in Makati and the enforcer asked for his license. What my colleague did was he showed his firearms license instead and not driver's license and the enforcer asked if he was a police agent. He told the enforcer that he was not an agent but showed him an ID that he was a reserve officer in the Army with the rank of a Captain. The MAPSA enforcer then saluted and apologized to him.

    yung mga basic kaya ko naman. nothing was too hard nor too easy. siguro dahil practice na ko ng dad ko magdrive since i was in grade 6.

    the hardest part for me was to focus because lagi nakikisabay sakin friends ko yung HS ako.

    sa parking, wala naman ako masyado problema.. sa steep inclines, meron.. pero sa una lang.. lalo na kung bago ko lang namaneho yung sasakyan.. sa ngayon medyo nahihirapan ako pag magpapalit ng lanes pag may nakikita ako sa side mirror ko.. nakakatakot kasi baka makasabit.. tsaka nakakataranta pag bigla kang bubusinahan.. BEEEEP!!

    nahirapan ako nung una sa steep inclines from full stop.. but i eventually practiced near our place (mga 40% grade ang slope for 100m), and i got the hang of it.

    parallel parking lalo na kung halos sakto lang ang space para sa sasakyan... bakit kaya mas madali pag paatras, ano ba ang pinakamagandang rason dito?

    When I started driving I didn't know how to park paatras.

    Mas kaya ko pa mag parallel kasi nung college most of the time sa street ang parking. I only learned to park paatras when I started working kasi sa building it was more intuitive to park paatras so I mastered to park that way more than 4 years after I started driving

    Ang problema I forgot how to parallel park because I rarely do so now. I guess that's the hardest for me now.

    for me, hardest would be on moving from full stop on inclines using m/t (when i'm just starting to learn how to drive). eventually magagamay mo din yung clutch/gas combination.

    Dati problem ko noon. Yun driving traffic sa incline at saka parallel parking. Di kasi ito itinuro sa Smart Driving School.

    Ang ginawa para matuto ng ng parallel parking ay naglalagay ako ng mga plastic na upuan sa tabi ng kalsada sa amin to simulate yun mga nakaparadang kotse. Effective naman.

    hmmmm. medyo ok naman ako sa parallel sa tingin ko. naturuan ako dati nung nag driving lesson ako eh.

    sa inclined gumagamit ako ng handbrake pag naka full stop tapos timpla na ng clutch at gas pag paandar na saka release ng handbrake. nakakatakot pag hindi gumamit ng handbrake eh. hehehe. baka umatras bigla o kaya mamatay makina lalo na mababa menor ng kotse ko ngayon. haha

    The hardest for me was parallel parking nung first time ko mag parallel bumangga ung spare tire sa poste..... BOG tapos shift to D bigla sa sobrang gulat ko

    2nd time parallel sa same spot ayos naman pero masyado dikit sa wall kaya hirap lumabas heheh

    3rd time same spot too naperfect ko na parallel parking

    saka pinakamahirap talaga pagnakabitin ka pag gamit mo m/t pero eventually natuto din ako dahil
    paakyat garage namin eh praktis praktis lang

    Starting from full stop on incline sa ligaya drive. Di ko makakalimutan to. Nagpapalit ako ng driver para lang makaalis kami
