Law breaker?!?

[cutedoc]

honestly, rate yourself from 1-10 as 10 with a halo of being a law abiding citizen, including practising road courtesy, and why?

umpisahan ko na:
6.5

- i admit it, i dont and i am not a law abiding citizen, though i pay my taxes dutyfuly

- sometimes when its at night red light is go

- speed limit at nlex, tsk tsk kanina 180kph(nanunuod pilipinas ng laban ni pacman)

- one way sometimes is 2 way... bad talaga

- i did pay "lagay"

[chris_d]

8.0 :D

- speed limit? what speed limit? (SLEX minsan umaabot ako ng 160kph pag gabi or early morning na wala masyadong cars)

- i ignore traffic enforcers sometimes (minsan naka stop lahat, biglang mag go ako dahil parang nawala bigla ng utak yung traffic enforcer, sa amin kasi sa bicutan minsan lalo pa nilang nagugulo yung traffic)

[Kanut]

8.0

-i do run red lights but only on wee hours and if im sure no vehicles coming my way.
-guilty of paying off when flagged down.
-and some petty things like throwing cig butts on the street and jaywlaking
-cussing stupid pea-brained drivers who should'nt be driving anyway(if it counts)

[umzzzzz]

8

> lagay lagay at lagay
> reckless pag nagmamadali; pointing finger meets eyes of "offending" driver
> jaywalking
> counterflow sa ortigas extension (feeling one way ang kalsada)

[ts1n1ta]

8.5

i beat the red light.
dito sa felix avenue may no u-turn sign nde ko sinusunod.
i don't follow speed limits also.

[stinkaboy]

sa traffic rules, hindi ako masunurin
naglalagay minsan (hindi sa mga MMDA o pulis)
jaywalking

[Jun aka Pekto]

I'm very courteous and try to be law-abiding most of the time.

But, I do have a weakness. Like Marty McFly (in Back To The Future 1,2 and 3) who can't stand being called "chicken", it's the same with me. When the driver on the next lane starts revving his engine and egging me on, I check out what he's driving. If I feel like I can take him, papatulan ko and I'm normally good at picking my fights. If I knew I'm overmatched, I normally backed off.

I need to learn to back off, period. I'm not a young kid anymore and I also have a family. Pero, matigas pa rin ang ulo ko, e. Someday, maybe when I'm 50, hopefully.

9.5

I use my turn signals to change lanes.

I don't run red lights even in the wee hours of the morning.

I don't pay bribes.

I do tend to go fast though.

[empy]

are we talking about laws in general or traffic laws only?

general laws i'm about a 9. generally never break any laws that i'm aware of, including paying the right taxes and not littering.

kung traffic laws i have to be honest - i'm no better than a 5. i make sure i always follow rules of road courtesy - signaling, lane discipline, right of way, etc. but i never ever obey posted speed limits unless the popo are present.

[Jun aka Pekto]

but i never ever obey posted speed limits unless the popo are present.

If you mean in Florida, I can see what you mean. I remember driving to Miami back in 1994 for the football (soccer) World Cup. A cop tailed me for like 30 miles while I drove around Miami. Guess he's not used to seeing Nevada license plates. I've also been speeding since everyone else did too.

[gearspeed]

7 ako

I dont follow speed limits except if I'm inside our village(strict kase)
I use signal lights (pero pagayaw pa rin magbigay "see your ride at tsikot.com na lang)
If its early in the morning I don't follow the traffic light dahil wala naman traffic..
Minsan dumadaan sa one way na street at ginagawang two-way..hehe

[knicks1204]

hmm.. 8 siguro..

- naglalagay
- as much as possible, i always follow the signs
- always use signal lights
- i think i already ran a red light or two
- speed limits? minsan ko lang nilabag..
- counterflow pag pulis ang promotor...

[niky]

I think maybe I'm an 8.
-I do speed, but only in the absence of traffic, and I always slow down for intersections. I usually limit my speed if there is cross-traffic or if there are pedestrians... and I never act like I'm king of the road (honk honk honk GEToutOFmyWAY).

-I follow stoplights, but if it's late at night, I stop, look both ways, then cross with caution.

-I never cross the double yellow line, unless directed to by an enforcer.

-I obey traffic enforcers. I used to make lagay lagay, but now I don't. You'd be amazed how many enforcers change their mind about giving tickets if you say "LTO? Monday? No Problem." :lol:

Same here!

[zman]

i suppose i'm an 8.5

- i don't beat the red light regardless of the hour
- always use my signal lights a good distance from my turn
- i don't hog lanes
- i stick to the slow lane on the highway
- i follow traffic/road signs
- i shift lanes a good distance before my anticipated turn
- i don't tailgate
- i don't counterflow
- i don't throw trash on the street
- i don't double park

I do my best to follow the rules for my safety, and not for anyone elses.

BUT, once in a year I'd sometimes get into an argument with a motorist in violation of a traffic rule.

Although alam ko naman na ako ang mali. Dahil, ang gawain ko sa kalye ay kabaliktaran ng gawain ng tunay na pinoy.

[Bogeyman]

I give myself a 7.5:

- I don't pay bribes.
- I don't run red lights, not even on deserted roads.
- I always use my turn signals.
- I refrain from using the high beams on my headlights, or turn them down once another vehicle is coming
- I stick to the specified speed limit
- I take heed of "no left turn" and "no U-turn" areas, as well as one-way streets.
- I give way to another vehicle when necessary, to the consternation of the vehicle behind me.

Why such a low score, then? I place paramount importance on my temper behind the wheel, something which I feel I need to improve on, especially when encountering less enlightened motorists.

9.5

i follow the traffic rules almost immaculately, giving right of way, never bribing(i never see the need since i haven't been flagged), i reduce my speed at the intersections even in the absence of stoplight, keeping the speed limit, signal my intentions clearly. never tail-gate. keep my lane, even follow the road-markings. in short, i drive defensively at all times.

pero wag lang ako gagawan ng masama(say, bigla akong ka-cut-in, or tumutok sa likod ko at maninilaw). demonyo rin ako pag nagalit.

[ghosthunter]

I shouldn't rate myself... I might get a negative number. hehehe :D

[kiper]

wow.. andaming mataas ah..


I give 9.5 for kiper..

Law-abiding driver here.. and uses logic.

[Hayward]

I rate myself at 6. I recognize my shortcomings and limitations which i'm trying hard to correct or improve on as I see fit. Mababa but it's something to start on. In the end hindi naman tayo ang magre-rate nyan.

[nugundam93]

parang gusto kong mag-negative. :lol:
