Pinoys: Best (& scariest) drivers in the world?

**van_wilder** · April 2nd, 2005 11:29 AM

we did a study rin in cross-cultural communications about driving styles... pinoys are ONE of the BEST and SCARIEST but not the best and scariest... meet brazilians, eastern europeans, and well russians...

Korekek ka dyan. 'Been there a couple of times. Although they stpop at traffic signals, it's a free-for-all when it turns green. Taxi drivers just turn left or right with impunity. Walang pakialam. Not once did I see a taxi driver using his side mirrors. Horns, madalas just to warn someone that his end is coming if he does not get his fanny out of the way.

kung kaya mo daw mag drive sa manila kaya mo na mag drive kahit saang panig ng mundo.

Driving also involves obeying the rules, not merely "skill" behind the wheel. After seeing 2 Pinay drivers severely t-bone cars at the same 4-way stop during the same day (1 morning, 1 afternoon), because they did a "California stop" instead of a full stop, I have to say no. I also have to add a third (Oriental, possibly Pinay) who forgot to stop altogether. Luckily I and another driver stopped in time. Also that same day.

I just have to shake my head. Anyone can be reckless and interpret it as skill. I've done it before. I was young and stupid when I was single. But, at least I did mine at places where the only one who could get killed is myself.

you guys should see how africans drive! para kang naunuod ng suspense/horror which will keep you to the edge of your seat whether pasahero ka o driver. kahit sinong santo, matutuyuan sa mga ito pag nakasabay mo sa kalye. they swerve,turn, and back up with no consideration for other drivers whenever they feel like it, manuevers in odd places, five seconds after the light changes to red they still go for it, they stick out their arms and hands to point at you and make hand gestures as if provoking you to a fight (this is normal here in Cote d' Ivoire pero kung sa pinas to, :gun: inabot ng mga ito!), and to top it all kahit sila pa mali sila pa galit!

sama pa natin yung isang segundo pa lang na nagpapalit nang green stoplight at di ka kagad naka andar, mahabang busina na kagad aabutin mo
