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)

8.5

jaywalking

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.

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.
