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)

so can you share your secret to prevent or at least minimized road rage...

mga suki reply na kayo dito.....para madagdagan Tcash ko baka umabot pa sa friday at makataya ako para sa barrera vs pacquiao fight sa sunday....hehehehhe

I pray before driving ng malayo sa init ng ulo.
I put on my favorite cd.
I just talk to myself pretending I am being interviewed para nde ko na mapansin mashado mga sasakyan na kasama ko.
If ever naman, inuunahan ko na lang yung sasakyan na nakasabayan ko para nde ko na makita.
I do not make eye contact.

^^^ 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.

Yup, that's true. Yan din ang madalas kong sabihin sa sarili ko. Konting lamig lang. Ignore ko na lang. Mahirap kasi kung matapang ka, at matapang din yung kasagutan mo, at nagkataong de baril at trigger happy yung kaaway mo, .........patay kang bata ka!

all of us want to stay cool while driving in a perfect world, pero there will come a time or there will be 1 incident na will just fuel your rage na talagang hinde mo na mapigilan....

mahirap magtimpi lalo na sa dami ng mga pasaway sa kalye.. mauubos talaga ang pasensya mo sa dami nila.. unless isa kang santo o martyr o sadyang mabait talaga at saksakan ng haba ang pasensya

I understand sir Galactus re the disciplined driver more prone to road rage...

Nakaka inis talaga pag meron tao who dont obey the same rules u obey

For me, it's about acceptance.

Ganito talaga sa Pinas e.

Many pinoys either dont know the rules or simply refuse to follow the formal rules. Keep in mind that most drivers here do not have formal driving education. Mostly tinuruan lang ng tatay/tito/kuya/drayber/pare

Lalo na ung mga natutuo mag drive sa probinsya... dala dala nila ung almost lawless nilang style dito sa Manila...

We may have a set of LTO traffic rules but many pinoy drivers operate on a different set of unwritten traffic "rules" that one usually gets (or learns) from driving around in Manila long enough

So i just accept the way things are... i cant change the way other people drive.

I would just stress myself out by getting mad at every undisciplined driver out there.

Ako, as soon as I enter the car, I pray.

I simply ignore those drivers and pedestrians that is displaying stupidy on the road. Iwas lang ako.

I also leave early para hindi ako nagmamadali sa byahe at para kahit masingitan ako, ok lang. (shempre hindi ako pumupwesto sa fast lane)

Pag uwi ako, pray ulit.

So far hindi pa naman uminit ulo ko sa kalsada since 1994.

It's kinda odd but when I listen to hiphop/rap/rnb music feeling ko lagi enjoy lang. Pag may nag-cut sakin ngiti lang ako, pag may liliko ipa-go ko na lang. I'm in the process of becoming a better person, after all these years.

Dati nabangga ako ng bus, dumerecho na lang ako, ano pang sense makipagtalo. Pag pinahiya ko naman sya ganun din di din nya mabayaran yun.
