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

[Bogeyman]

siguro kaya G-liner kasi G is for ga-g0.hehehe...

"G" also stands for Guia Gomez, ang may-ari ng G-Liner. No wonder magaspang ang ugali ng mga bus drivers nito, mana sa amo nilang kabit.

Philippine roads are very unpredictable such that they literally beckon heads that can turn 360 degrees. To drive safely, you will have to look in all directions, never to be caught off-guard, because a barbaric jeepney driver might just cut you, or you might see a bus bully its way through the traffic jam. What's worse, it is possible to witness races between two big trucks, one of which accounting to a tragedy somewhere in C5.

But behind all these savage aggressiveness is very good potential. I have to admit that these red-licensed drivers are really good. This reason alone has made me wonder almost everyday what it is to have one of our countrymen in the best racing tournaments in the world. By no doubt, we are the best in the ASEAN, but because of government differences, a straight country like Malaysia was able to sponsor a national to F1, despite being barely competent. Alex Yoong may no longer be racing there anymore, but he's got his chance to do so, even for just a short time. I have absolutely no doubt that a well trained, generously sponsored Filipino driver can do much better.

Now, do you see the worst graft and corruption has ever gone?

Jeepney Driver in an F1 car? mmm...

I'm already used to all the mayhem and rokus here that I usually keep my cool. Its just a waste of energy and gas, its useless agruing with these people...

One time, nasa hs pa ako, We accidentally bumped a City Bus (gamit namin Astro AUV na pawis steering) at Roxas cor. Edsa aba bumaba yung conductor humihingi ng bayad eh wala namang tama bus nila, di na namin pinansin at umalis na lang kami aba binato kami ng 5 piso hahahaha... mga leche tapos pag ikaw nabangga kamot ulo lang. Masunog sana sila sa mga ginagawa nilang katarantaduhan!

[odell]

gawain ko ang pagbabato ng piso.. hahahaha

Pinoys, "scariest" driver in the world? I don't buy that crap. Try and go to Saudi Arabia, and you'll see for yourself who's the worst driver in the world. Sa Saudi, yung mga Arabo, bara-bara kung magmaneho. Kahit nasa outer lane sila, bigla-bigla magka-cut pakaliwa. May nakita pa ako na nagda-drive, nakataas yung left foot sa bintana (matic yung car niya). Madalas, may makikita kang yung kaliwang kamay nasa cellphone, yung kanang kamay hawak yung manibela, kaya gigewang gewang kung paliko. Minsan, meron pang nagbabasa ng diyaryo habang nagmamaneho!

Kaya pag naaksidente sila, madalas patay ang sakay.

Iyung amo kung arabo dati, while driving his Jaguar, nakataas iyung isang paa sa upuan at iyung isang kamay nagku-kotkut ng kahoy sa ipin niya. Di ko alam kung matatawa ako or matatakot. a Cave man in a modern world.

When turning left or right, walang inner or outer lane. lahat liliko kahit saang galing na lane. During Red light, mag-right turn then u turn then right turn again para lang umiwas sa stop light.

May nagka-counter flow sa major road, iyung isang side ng gulong nasa gutter ng center island tapos iyung kabilang gulong nasa kalsada and driving on a normal speed. May kasabayan din ako sa kalsada na 4 lanes, na biglang nag-360 then counter flow. Magkakamot ka na lang ng ulo. Subukan mong drive ng bukas ang bintana, tiyak babatuhin ka ng plastic na may tubig ng mga teen ager na arabo.

Obviously, they don't belong to best driver category, but rather psychotic.

Dito sa pinas magaling na Psychotic ang mga driver. Pag pinagsama sama mo kaya yung pinoy, chinese, arabo, columbian, at iba pang "magagaling na driver" sa mundo sa isang kalsada sino kaya ang matitira?

[Bogeyman]

Magiging ala-"Death Race 2000" ang dating niyan.

This is Hilarious!!!:bwahaha:

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...

[chieffy]

sa India yata di marunong gumamit ng sidemirror ang mga drivers doon...

paki confirm nga ito ng mga nagpunta na sa India...

[van_wilder]

basta almost lahat ng countries na medyo walang discipline pangit ang driving...

sa russia and eastern europe nakakatakot!

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.

[nugundam93]

grabe sa india...magulo. heheh.

Ang tindi naman ng training natin sa pagdadrive dito sa atin. Umiiwas tayo sa lubak, jaywalkers,pedicab, tricycles at mga sira ulong drivers na mahilig magcutting lanes habang minemaintain natin ang distance sa mga sasakyang katabi natin. Paano hindi tayo gagaling niyan.

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

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

[jasprit]
