I like this thread.. makes you realize na hindi naman palaging masama ang driving situation sa Pilipinas.

:groupwave:

di lahat ng pinoy mandurugas hehehe may matitino pa pala

well yeah, sumasama lang talaga dahil mas well remembered ang mga mandurugas at ang mga unggoy na nagpapatakbo ng auto, let's try to look at the brighter side of things, let our angst off (it wastes our energy) and forget those who piss us and recognize those who really deserve their driving licenses, mas masarap ang feeling hehe,



OT:
unggoy- isang tao na nakatira sa kabihasnan pero 'di marunong sumunod sa kung ano mang batas ang nakasulat (dahil malamang marunong magbasa) dahil 'di niya nalalaman kung ano ang tama at mali at ng nakahihiya sa hindi...

oh I remember this nice guy I met, he's a trucker driving a 6x6 truck so this is how it went, back then 2003, bago pa mabenta yung auto ko no'n, nagpagas kami sa Ligaya, Marcos Hiway, yung generic gas station do'n (katitipid kasi lalong nagkandaloko-loko) tapos, pagdating namin ng katips, bumaba ang menor ng makina at naging maugong whereas kahit owner-type-jeep lang yon 'di naman naugong eh, so inadjust ko ,pagdating ng NLEX, walang hatak ang auto pahirapan umabot ng 60kph, tapos natirikan kami sa San Ildefonso, then sa San Miguel bulacan, by the time we reached San Miguel bulacan the engine refuses to start, I checked the spark plugs and they were doing fine and the starter has started emitting fumes showing signs of giving up, so prior to that, I already thought that there might be something wrong with the carburetor BUT, as far as my knowledge si concerned, nothing's gonna go wrong with the carb so I decided to try hitching somebody's ride, to get to the nearest gas station so I emptied my reserve radiator gallon and brought it along with me, the place is pitch black and no houses around there are rice fields left and right, I left my sister and two other cousins one is a male in the jeep and I tried hitchin' a ride, an SUV passed by though I assumed he won't let me ride on his precious Prado, and there was this 6x6 truck, and the truck stopped, "manong pwede makisakay? hanggang sa malapit na gas station?" manong replied: "diesel ba yan? kung gusto mo pahiramin kita!" "hindi po eh" and so we went, they dropped me of at the nearest Petron station to my surprise, galing din pala ng Pasig yung truck na nagpahitch sa 'kin sabi ko kasi I'm from Pasig as well, tapos on my way back I hired a tricycle special trip pabalik sa auto, pagdating sa auto 'di pa kami iniwan ng tricycle, medyo malayo rin ang byahe pero 40 petot lang ang siningil sa 'kin inilawan pa 'ko habang kinakabit ko yung container na pinaglagyan ko ng gas using his headlamp and so after no'n umandar na ang auto then we proceeded to petron to flush all the gasoline left in the tank and I returned the suction hose to the fuel line from the container I used tapos yun na umandar na ulit ang auto... ang bait nu'ng trucker saka nu'ng tricycle driver, sana dumami pa sila, :D

Dapat ata magkaroon din ng thread about really bad gasoline stations to avoid. Para naman sa ganon, yung mga hayop na mandarayang gas stations eh, magsara na.

Along EDSA, favorite ko mga bus drivers... specially dun sa may bandang pioneer st. and guadalupe. Parang mali din yata yung gamit ng bus lane eh, dapat yata ginawang private vehicles' lanes tapos bawal ang mga bus pumasok sa private vehicles' lane... atsaka dapat yung mga blue boys ng MMDA eh dapat manghuli ng mga bus na lumabas sa lanes nila instead of manghuli ng mga private vehicles going into the bus lanes.

yung gas station na nanggoyo sa 'kin nu'ng tumirik ako niyan, wala na yun nagsara na nalugi rin ang walanghiya.

tapos bawal ang mga bus pumasok sa private vehicles' lane... atsaka dapat yung mga blue boys ng MMDA eh dapat manghuli ng mga bus na lumabas sa lanes nila instead of manghuli ng mga private vehicles going into the bus lanes.

They do this, I saw it while I was inside a bus and the bus I'm riding was apprehended kasi lumabas siya sa bus lane, nakapost pa sa harapan ng bus yung picture ng bus na nasa gitna ng Edsa nakunan ng camera huling huli, 'di lang natin siguro napapansin na pinapatupad nila saka may mga areas din kasi na 'di nababantayan ng MMDA kaya siguro maraming lumulusot pero sana nga 'di nila sitahin ang mga private vehicles na pumapasok sa yellow lane, minsan nga nagpababa ako sa Edsa eh nakisabay ako sa auto ng friend ko, akalain mo ba namang sitahin kami ng friend ko dahil nag swerving daw siya,dapat daw nu'ng binaba raw ako 'di raw siya dapat pumasok sa yellow lane dapat meaning dapat pala nu'ng binaba ako ng friend ko nasa outermost part lang siya ng private vehicle lane at wala sa loob ng yellow lane, sus! pero anyway, yung mga wishes natin, sana nga...

Was so surprised yesterday, I didn't move for a full second.

Crossing an intersection, after 2 or 3 cars sped up and refused to let me cross (the usual no-taking-turns-attitude)... For the 1st time in my life, a 10-wheeler truck stopped 10 ft. away from my car, yielding right-of-way to me and allowing me to drive across... without me having to stick my car's nose in his lane, honk my horn, or perform any of the other antics necessary when crossing...

May pagasa ang bansa natin...

Might be the same guy who let me and my grandaunt cross Dimasalang.

Ganun rin, lahat ng sasakyan dinaanan lang kami tapos etong trucker tumigil at pinadaan kami.

for once I've seen a tricycle driver who doesn't seem to think that signal lights comes in as an optional bike accessory, he's using it! Albeit that observation reads discrimination but a lot of tricycle drivers (of course not all) doesn't know how to use signal lights at all...

Basta sakin yung hand/foot-signal na kadalasan ginagamit nila is fine. Ayoko lang yung biglang nag3-360 nang walang warning.

Anyway, back to topic. Good guys, bad guy story actually. A couple of months ago, naglalakad kami ng nanay ko sa downtown Cavite City nung nakita namin etong isang kotse na medyo hirap lumabas sa kanyang parking space - newbie siguro. Fortunately, mapasensya yung mga dyip/baby bus dun sa area at nag full stop para makalabas siya - nagkaroon pa nga ng mahaba-habang pila sa tagal lumabas eh. Kaso mo may nag counterflow na siraulong naka mosquito bike (no mirrors!) at nung nakita na may lumalabas na sasakyan, biglang preno at natumba ang gago! Tinitigan nalang siya ng mga tao kasisigaw niya sa gitna ng kalye.

Eto pa. Nanay ko papasok ng isang side-street na uphill. May pila ng tricycle sa gilid kaya medyo masikip. May papalabas na Toyota Revo, kaya napatigil muna ang nanay ko. A few seconds later may lumitaw na lumang Dyna na tumigil about 15 meters ahead of us, nag-iwan ng gap para makalusot kami. Eh uphill, nung libre na ang daanan namatayan kami ng makina, nataranta nanay ko. Biro mo itong delivery truck driver eh napaka-pasensyoso, pina-para pa yung tricycle sa tabi niya para makadaan kami kahit antagal na namin dun!

ganda ng sinabi mo ser...yup, as they say...the greatest disadvantage of hurry is that sometimes it takes too long

pag napaaway ka mas lalong tatagal...besides konti rin lang ang ang hindi marunong magbalik ng magandang gesture.

you are the mr. nice guy i saw today.

i was riding my bicycle at villamor airbase at around 6:45am and students are all over the road (Lil kids hhehehehe) and suddenly rain comes! and guess what a taxi driver stops and call some of the kids and he gave them a free ride to school. (around 200 meters straight!)

Now am thinking can we do that?
