road jerks . . .

[jjmd3_787]

"First of all, hindi ako sure if may nag-post na ng ganitong topic. Pasensya na lang mga bro kung naulit ko. Anyway, i hope it'll be alright."

Hindi na tayo bago sa mga bastos sa kalye. Meron kasing mga taong natuto lang magmaneho ay akala mo hari na ng kalye. Hindi ko naman sinasabing "santo" ako, minsan ay nagmi-misfire din. Kaya sa thread na ito ay mag share tayo ng experiences natin with these road JeRkS and how you reacted on the situation.

I'll start with mine, last week lang. Nadaan ako sa Sampaloc area. Alam naman natin na masikip ang karamihan ng streets dun na pinaparadahan pa yung 1 side nito. May nakasalubong akong maroon Starex van (i decided to withhold the plate#), magkabilaang dulo kami. Mas malaki siya kaya I decided to let him pass first, which he gladly did. Midway, bigla itong huminto... sa tapat ng 1 bahay. Tapos, lumabas ang mga sakay nito at nagsimulang mag load ng mga gamit. Catering service yata sila. I sat patiently and clocked 2 minutes. After this time, nag flash na ako ng headlites ko to make them aware that someone needs to pass thru that road too. Nag flash din siya. Akala ko ay OK na. Another 2 minutes passed pero tuloy pa rin silang nakabara. Bumusina ako, discretely. Tapos sumigaw yung driver/owner na umikot na lang daw ako (which is another 2 blocks away). Sa mga oras na yun ay gusto kong . . .

ang mga ito! Pero naisip ko na ang asar ay talo... medical bills, lawyer fees, etc... So, iiling-iling na lang akong umatras at umikot sa adjacent street. Katakot-takot na mura ang pinawalan ko sa loob ng car. Siguro sa mga oras na yun e pwede akong i-hire ni Eminem na gawing lyricist nya.

Ang sa akin lang e siguro planado naman nila na magkakarga sila ng gamit. Bakit hindi na lang pinauna yung kasalubong. At saka pwede naman siyang mag park sa tabi which is not far from the house, kaunting lakad lang. But then again, hindi pare-pareho ang isip ng mga tao. Ika nga sa mga Arabo e Mafi Muk, Muk Hada!

Walang isip, kung meron man ay nasa talampakan!

So, blog away!!!

^^kakaasar nga yan bro... kung ako yan, bumaba na ako ang nabigyan ko ng lecture yang driver.

[Horsepower]

What you did was right. Mas maganda umiwas sa gulo.

Sa Cavite, 6 ang patay just because of a mere traffic altercation.

[susmaryousef]

Sa palagay ko since natuto tayo magmaneho and gumamit ng sasakyan, kasama na yata talaga sa buhay natin yang mga ganyan pangyayari minsan kailangan lang talaga natin mag pasensya pag nandun tayo sa ganung sitwasyon, cool lang talaga dapat kasi pag hindi malamang masama kakahantungan

[ans_lim168]

Kaya nga walang asenso dito sa atin, sa kalye pa lang "chaos na", tama ang ginawa mo at umiwas ka na lang sa gulo.

[CVT]

Mahirap ang engkwentro sa ganyang mga bagay. Lalupa at mukhang teritoryo nila ang lugar na iyan..... (Nag-a-unload din iyan, katulad ng insidente sa Cavite.... )

8101:oops2:

[roberto_minosa]

That's not a jerk! That's an idiot.

[renzo_d10]

The driver's stupid! Pero tama lang ginawa mo bro, para iwas na lang sa away pero nakaiwas ka nga argabyado ka naman. :um:

Mga tao nga naman

[Horsepower]

Not really agrabyado. It was nothing. Wala naman nawala sa kanya. Ego lang yan.

Even if you have high powered guns on board and ergo, have the upperhand, problema pa rin yan after (unless self defense of course which can be aided by brilliant lawyers and connections).

Halos ganyan din nangyari sa akin quite a few years back. Palabas ako
ng Quad Carpark (Makati) and turned left on my way to Pasay Road (Arnaiz
Ave. na yata ngayon). Since hindi kalayuan ang Pasay road sa carpark, napansin ko agad na near the corner meron isang van and isang sedan na nakatigil sa gitna ng kalye. Meron tatlong lalaki that were unloading some stuff from the van into the car. I was the 3rd car in line sa humahabang linya ng kotse na napatigil dahil nakaharang nga sa daan itong 2 sasakyan.
This went on for about two minutes, maraming dinidiskarga yung grupo (damit,some bags, small boxes etc). Yung kotse sa likod ko bumusina na at soon nagsunuran na lahat (mga 8 to 10 cars na kami nakalinya), bumusina na kami lahat kasi nga parang nananadya na itong mga mokong -taking their sweet time at hindi man lang pinapansin kaming naghihintay.
Suddenly one of the guys went inside the van and came out carrying an
armalite (M16) rifle. He stood right before the first car and stared at us coldly
without uttering a word. Biglang nahinto yung mga busina and I noticed the
drivers of the cars in front of me suddenly lower their heads trying to avoid
eye contact with the gun-weilding maniac. Sa akin na ngayon nakatitig yung
mokong. Bigla akong nagpadedma at kunwari nag-adjust ng radio.
Nung napansin niyang walang pumapalag at tahimik na, the group went back
to loading the car. This went on for another five minutes. Nung natapos din,
biglang sakay sa kanilang mga sasakyan yung grupo sabay harurot - yung van
kumaliwa sa Pasay Road at yung kotse naman kumanan.
On the way home, instead of being angry, I just kept on laughing kasi it
turned into a comical situation especially yung reaction naming lahat na
kanya-kanyang dedma (ok, naduwag is a better term) nang labasan kami
ng armalite nung isang mokong.

[jjmd3_787]

Bro, mukhang heist yung nasaksihan nyo. At sa tingin ko e militar ang mga yun kasi m16 na ang dala. Mabuti at hindi siya nagpaputok.
Anyway, makakatagpo rin ng katapat ang mga dupang na yun.

[buriroy]

Sa palagay ko ganun na nga. Kasi mga naka fatigue and olive-green
jackets ang mga mokong at medyo chato ang gupit.

I also noticed that there were four more guys inside the van so
all-in-all mga pito sila.

So I just console myself na meron naman akong karapatan na
maduwag nung sitwasyon na yon kasi going up against them would
have been sheer suicide!

[roberto_minosa]

I would've put my car in reverse, backed up a bit, rev the hell out of my engine, and run over the guy with an M16. Purely justified. Minus one *-hole in our roads.

Okay, lemme play some more GTAIV . I'm just playing Niko Bellic in real life.

[Stoner]

Di ba considered gun-toting yun? If ever, since tumagal naman kahit pano yung group, somebody should've called the police right there and then. Kahit na malakas ang kapit ng mga kups at makakawala din, at least na-agrabiyado sila sa encounter right?

bwuhahaha :laughbounce:... i'd do the same of course. m-16 + men in fatigue??? baka ako i-adjust ko ang radio, ang aircon, ang volume, mag text kunwari, may kausap kunwari sa phone, paglaruan ang power windows, side mirror para lang ma dedma ko sya... it's not worth it especially if i'm with my family... may katapat yang mga yan at bahala na sila magpatayan... remember the imus incident? 6 lives lost because of what? honking horns?... i'm starting to practice being patient when i'm driving... my 1st born is coming soon now... and road jerks are just not worth it...

:bwahaha:

yeah, it's better to have cooler heads. Kahit ikaw pa matirang buhay after the gunfight, hassle pa rin pagpunta sa court and siempre increase mo rin security procedures mo since baka gantihan ka naman.

[SIZE=7][SIZE=3]Sana sir kumuha ka ng video secretly then kinuha mo na rin tuloy yung plate number, after nun go straight to the police and make a blotter, or kung ayaw mo naman ipaXXX mo na yan[/SIZE] [/SIZE]

Alam mo kasi if you're suddenly thrust into that kind of situation everything
seems so surreal that you can't seem to think straight. I was just so damned glad that it was over and it's after the incident that you curse yourself
for not acting like that super-hero in the movies who would have confronted
those goons or had the presence of mind to jot down the plate number and
report it to the police.

But the incident sobered me a lot. I have more patience now on the road and
have vowed not to bring my guns outside the house for when you're out
there you can be suddenly thrust into a situation that escalates into a
life-and-death scenario due to poor judgement and firearms-induced bravado.

[roberto_minosa]

^Amen! The Philippines needs more drivers like you. You know, the ones who don't carry guns in cars. Not to mention a sense of what's right and wrong.
