road rage...

[oldblue]

^^^ Mahirap bro, especially if you're pre-disposed to having a bad temper. You react instinctively, hindi ka na nag-iisip. It's a macho thing.

But there are times na umiiling na lang ako and silently count to ten pag may nang-atraso sa daan. Hopefully, I can keep it up. Hinahampas din ako ng misis ko ng malakas sa braso pag nagagalit na ako.

Pansinin nyo, yung mga prone to road rage, medyo disciplinarian sa daan. Kaya hirap na hirap silang intindihin yung mga balasubas na gustong manlamang sa kapwa.

hmm... mukang nag-improve ka sir *galactus. keep it up

idealism, disciplinarian, by the book, strict obedience, perfectionism, ... these are the sort of things that can make a man mad.

eeerrr mahirap iwasan yun mga engot talaga sa daan mapa private man or public vehicles. what i do to release some tension i turn up my music and rock with it. or yell inside my car to release some of the tension(not * the stupid driver ah, and only when im alone). hehehe! or if i feel like im going to snap i light one up and pass it around. ay este wala isama na lang ang tension sa usok ng yosi. hehehe!

[LexTer]

mahirap nga. ginagawa ko na lang iniisip ko anak ko. pangpakalma. hehehe

[blue1108]

minsan mahirap talaga, lalo na kng naprovoke ka na...
katulad ni sir galactus, ngbibilang na lang ako o kaya ako na hihingi ng dispensa para makaalis na...wala nmn usually may gusto ng hassle e...
lately, katulad ng gnagawa ni sir lexter, iniisip ko na lang yng baby boy ko na naghihintay s'kin sa bahay

[Wouie]

Sa tuwing mag-iinit ang ulo ko sa daan, iniisip ko lang lagi ang pamilya ko, sa ganon naiiwasan ko ang makipagtalo.

Exercise restraint even with your brights and horns. Sometimes, even those are enough to provoke aggression.

[Galant_VR_94]

I just put in mind that nothing good will happen if i allow myself to be enraged. Kahit mahirap kailangan talaga ng patience when driving. Cool lang dapat tayo sa kalsada.

[Tifosi]

Hay guilty din ako of road rage...just this week nakikipaggitgitan pa ako sa epal na driver. I promised my wife that I'll exercise a lot of restraint and patience whenever I drive, pero I still fall into temptation. WOOOSSAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Lately, I just take a cab to work and let my wife bring the car since her office is just 15 minutes drive from our home. At least when I take a cab I can sleep at the back and the driver just rouses me when we're at the office. Sure beats driving in rush hour, bumper-to-bumper traffic!

[gildred]

Tuwing pasakay ako sa sasakyan ko, sinasabihan ko sarili ko na cool lang mag drive. Nakakalimutan ko lang kapag may biglang nag cut sa akin...Nanggigigil talaga ako... pero sometimes, pag may nakakainis na driver, sinasabihan ko na lang ng "mabangga ka sana". Ang sama ko ano.. Anyway, nagsisisi ako pag nasasabi ko iyon. Next time, I'll try to be cool and exercise defensive driving.

[BlueGirl]

Control my temper during driving. Hindi naman kasi maiiwansan ang mga AH sa kalye eh. Dati/minsan bratinella akong driver pero ngayon eh defensive na. Mahirap na masermonan nanaman akow..hehe..Kaya good girl na

Saka sa mga nangyayari ngayon, nakakatakot..Baka mamaya maka encounter pa ako ng balasubas eh mahirap na. Ayoko maabala at higit sa lahat eh gusto ko pa mabuhay ng matagal.

Eh, bakit si Bong Alvarez, natulog din sa taxi, pero tinablan pa rin ng road rage? Ayun, kinasuhan tuloy.

[_Cathy_]

Iniisip ko na lang that the driver needs to go to the bathroom badly kaya he's doing all the measures to get to his destination faster. If the driver is really rude I just think that he won't be able to hold "it" and make a mess in his car. hehe.

a took off from the shooting incident thread...

how do you avoid road rage? admittedly minsan and lately napapadalas na rin ang road rage ko, because of those stupid PUV drivers....

ito lang naiisip ko para ma prevent road rage.

---totally stop driving (hire a driver)
---minimized your time, out in the street or behind the wheel
---take public transpo..(mahirap especially now that it's always raining)
---closed your eyes while driving (not recommended)

If I was in the Philippines........ I'd definitely take public transportation like A/C taxis or A/C buses. So long as there's A/C, I'm satisfied.

I commuted by choice when I was living over there. I always felt a sense of detachment from the common folk whenever my dad drove me around. Also, I've seen my dad get ticked off (by whatever incident on the road) everytime he drove. I felt safer commuting.

If it rained, it was a good excuse to ask a female commuter if she can share her umbrella......feel her hand...... Uy, makinis!

[pup2]

I think the key to avoiding it is to understand WHY it happens. Ayaw mo ba ng nale-late ka -- agahan mo ang alis? Ayaw mo magasgasan kotse mo -- get the car na hindi ka manghihinayang magasgas? Napapagod ka magmaneho -- get a car biased for driver comfort?Ako nadiscover ko, pag mabagal auto ko, sensitive ako pag traffic lalo't sinisingitan ako ng mga jeep, etc. Kaya I bought the fastest car na fit sa needs ko. Ngayon, pag sumisingit sila, iniisip ko na lang yakang yaka ko naman sila lusutan ulit eh.
