5 Bad Habits That Pinoy Drivers Don't Even Know Are Wrong

[cast_no_shadow]

Notice ko lang sa NLEX and SCTEX, wala mga lay-by areas. TPLEX has. NLEX has ample "dirt" shoulders though on most areas. Nakakatakot tumirik sa long narrow stretches ng SCTEX, risk of being bowled over by some over speeding maniac is very high.

Sinabi mo pa, nung ako i reached the shoulder i thought solve na ako upon realizing hindi siya concrete/solid ground. Basa pa naman yung shoulder dahil umulan ang hirap i-stabilize yung jack. Thankfully a patrol assisted me.

Remember that drivers turn on their hazard lights because they surmised they are a hazard in the road and to the other drivers. - oh diba ang liwanag. Umulan lang naging hazard na kotse sa daanan? Wth?!

Again your HL and backlights are enough. Baka naman malabo na mata mo kaya hindi ka na makakita sa heavy downpour, aba hindi hazard light kelangan mo. Hehehe

Specially those cars that have dark tint including the windshield(just like driving blindfolded)

Eh yung naka hazard lights while exiting/backing up sa parking?

IMHO hindi siya bad habit either good habit pa kase binibigyan mo ng warning yung ibang road users either pedestrian or motor vehicle na gusto mo umatras para alam nila at aware sila kase mahirap na baka sabihin nila pag naatrasan mo sila na hindi mo sila nainform, pananagutan mo sila.

In one sense, it's correct. It shows that your vehicle in particular is a hazard to others since it is not moving in the same direction as the traffic at the same speed. It also makes the car more visible when it is backing up into traffic from its parking spot. But it isn't necessary at all times, and it doesn't excuse you from exercising due diligence when backing up onto the road.

Personally, I prefer parking facing out. Don't need to use the hazards or a parking boy to leave the spot then. Thankfully, as we've come a long way since the smoggy 70's, fewer and fewer establishments and guards enforce the stupid "park facing wall" rule, anymore.

we have to remember that when we back up, we don't have right of way. that is why it is a good idea to use our lights, and, more important, to wait for someone to give us the opportunity to back up..

hahaha, ayup gid.

BTT: My take is that like dr. d, soeone bacing should exercise patience in a sense na ikaw nakikiusap na pasingitin ka sa regular flow of traffic kasi your backing up. No need for hazards lights imho kasi yung backing lights pa lang dapat alam nang drivers dito sa atin na magbabacking ka so sila ingat na din dapat.

Kaso dami nga tanngenot na driver dyan kaya naging kasanayan na yung hazard light kapag nag-baback-up. Kaya ako bihira din gamitin yan unless sobrang traffic at mabilis takbo ng mga sasakyan.

agree.
but you have to admit... many cars' back-up lights are just about as visible in the daytime, as katol...

[CVT]

For the most part,- arguably, backing up practically translates to you being a hazard on the road, because you will be 'against the flow of traffic' any which way you go.

Anyway, if you turn on your hazard lights,- you can park anywhere, right?.... Deym! :hysterical:

Naka on yung hazard lights, tapos nasa bumper-to-bumper traffic pa ka pa.
Magtitiis kang may nagbiblink na ilaw sa harap mo for the next couple of hours (or until somebody overtakes you).

[crazy_boy]

sa Japan, if naka temporary parking (unloading of cargo) and backing up, nag hazard din sila. I guess doon natin natutunan yung use ng hazard light when backing up and sa ating "temporary" parking.

hazard light = i can do anything

using hazard lights while backing up sa parking, maybe to make their car more visible. student or novice drivers do this often. i don't find it a nuisance. whatever makes you feel safer, just remember to turn it off afterwards.

[viper888]

I use hazard lights while parking if the parking slots are on a public road (on street parallel parking, bay parking in tomas morato, etc.). However if the slots are inside a parking lot or building, I deem the unnecessary.

Iyan ang ginagawa ko kung bastusan na ang labanan sa kalye,- iyon bang naka bright ang sa likod mo at wala man lamang konsensiyang mag-low beam,- e obvious naman na nakakasilaw na siya.... (Most of the times though, pina-uuna ko na lang ang mga gvnggong na ito)

In stop and go traffic though,- io-on ko ang hazard lights,- just for the f.... moron.,- tapos kung nakatigil kami,- ipapasok ko pa sa reverse... T.... mo,- G*go! - minsan- todo busina ang mga mokong [Remember - I am half good at best!]

maganda yan ah... magawa nga yan..

[CVT]

Ayos iyan bro,- lalo na pag mataas ang sasakyan mo at nakaharap sa mukha ng mga m*kong...

Limang brake lights (all full bright),- 2 hazard lights at 2 reverse lights...

Mamumuti ang mga mata ng naka-high beam na walang pakundangan.....

May isa pa nga akong gustong gawin,- kaso, makaka-aksidente na malamang... kaya hindi na lang.... pero, sangkaterba ang walang konsensiya sa mga ilaw nila sa kalye... Marami, nagsisimula sa tinatanggal ang reflector ng halogen lamps,- kaya sabog ang ilaw... Motor at tricyle,- marami ring bal*svb*s....

Sorry OT na po....
