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

[Stigg ma]

yesterday while travelling along TPLEX... it rained so hard... i can say 20 percent visibility nalang... yung mga bukas ang tail light, halos hindi ko na talaga makita... yung mga naka hazard nalang ang napapasin ko....

i was tempted nga to use my hazard lights...

maybe? its a case to case basis, when using your hazard, even if you are not on a full stop...

dyan papasok ang tama usage ng rear fog lamps, its the drivers responsibility to be seen by others...

kaso puro yabang lang rear fog lamps sa pinas, clear weather naka on front and rear fog lamps

To add, some guys don't even know that their cars are equipped with RFLs.

Majority of cars in Phil streets have no rear fog lights.

Check if your windshield tint is causing the "added" reduce visibility.
Countries that prohibits or limits the use of hazards lights have strict guidelines in the use of windshield tint.

But sadly how we learn driving there in the PH, and the driving "knowledge" we incur was not on par with most countries that have stricter driving habits and rules. I've been there, done that.

Believe me when I say it took me 5 tries to a road test before I finally passed it. Not to mention its $125 per road test try.

PH driving is really worlds apart compared to driving here.

I totally agree. Driving tests and licensing procedures overseas are vastly different from the Philippines. In Manila, people misconstrue reckless driving to jostle for positioning in the streets as "ma-diskarte." I always thought that the fastest way to declog Manila traffic is by making everyone retake a proper licensing examination. I can imagine at least 50% of drivers would have their licenses revoked.

[glenn_duke]

Here in Canada (and all of North America) we have a book on how to drive safely and you need to read that from cover to cover and review multiple times for you to pass the written exam and be eligible to do a road test exam. When you pass both of that, that's the only time you'll get your driver's license (licence here in Canada). So I guess that sorta instilled on each and every mind of Canadian/American how to drive safely and defensively.

C$18/copy din yan, money making business sana sa LTO if they are not that lazy to produce one.

True.

Anong class ba kinuha mo at inabot ka ng 5 tries? Naka apekto ba sa insurance mo?

Bro,- I beg to disagree naman.

Sa aking pananaw at limited experience driving for many months in the US,- if you can drive here in Manila,- you can drive anywhere in the world (assuming driving in the US and Canada are practically the same).....

Very minor adjustments in driving habits, IMO (merging, changing lanes, four-way stop, pedestrian crossing) to name a few. Just follow the rules of the road and you're in great shape. I know of a few people who could not drive here in Manila, but are driving okay in the US.

Also, about 10 engineers from our company, including myself, passed the DMV written and practical exams on the first try.

IMO,- mas mahirap mag-drive sa mga keep-left(RHD) na bansa. Drove in Indonesia for a few weeks. M/T pa ito....I am thinking all the time that I have to be "on the wrong side of the road,- always"...

Done this too when we are in Malaysia and I always end up on the wrong side of the car

:bwahaha: kala ko ako lang nag kaka ganyan. stayed in new zealand for 1 1/2 months and drove daily, 9 out of 10 times i approach the car parating nasa kabilang side kaya tawa ng tawa pinsan ko na laki don. sabi sa akin tagal ko na nag drive don mali pa din pinupuntahan kong side pag sasakay sa kotse. pero never naman na punta sa kabilang side ng kalsada while driving. i guess when driving i pay attention more because i'm afraid to end up on the wrong side of the road.

PH driving is largely tantiyahan in the absence of a roadcode. Yan ang mother doc sa ibang bansa where all licensing and road rules are based. Wala kasing pera diyan sa pag-update nung atin, alam nyo na ang Congress pag ala kita babagalbagal until some event happens.

Strong rains yesterday on NLEX meant nagsilabasan na naman yung mga hazard boys.

True enough, tail lamps alone offer limited visibility, but the sight of a whole stretch of highway filled with blinking lights was dangerously confusing.

Mas ok pa yung naka-RFL. Got to take this pic of a Crosswind with his flashers side by side with my tito's BMW na naka-RFL. Mas maliwanag yung RFL, yet hindi distracting kasi hindi siya nagbiblink.

Meron naman ibang nago-on ng rear fog light kahit ambon lang juice colored, or kahit maliwanag ang gabi. Marami naka Montero ganyan, minsan binubksan ko high headlights and foglights ko sa inis. Suck my 155 watts

Pinaka misconception ang 'zero visibility'. Edi sana nagsi-tigil lahat sa gilid Poor visibility yon. yung iba naman nago-on ng hazard lights pero sige pa rin ang weaving in-and-out sa traffic hay

[red_one]

ung iba naman nago-on ng hazard lights pero sige pa rin ang weaving in-and-out sa traffic hay

ito yung distracting at nakakainis. i don't mind people turning on hazard lights basta stick to middle or right lane lang in NLEX and no overtaking.

Last Saturday along SLEX towards Santa Rosa, I flashed a black EK Civic hogging the overtaking lane since I was ready to pass and he's definitely below 100. He moved to let me pass but he immediately went to my tail continuously flashing his headlights. I moved out of the overtaking lane to let him pass but he kept following me to whatever I go while continuously flashing. I had my family with me so I just kept my cool but in my head I was already yelling "what an IDIOT!". He probably didn't even know that he got flashed because what he was doing was wrong. Dumba*s.

down, boy! he owns the road! nakiki-gamit lang tayo..
heh heh.

[funkeemunkee]

Just one of them egoistic boy racers on a Honda.

[machinepistol]

Whenever I use the expressways, I stay on the rightmost lane. It's faster there than on the innermost lanes. Mahilig magbabad mga Pinoy drivers sa leftmost lanes. Ignoramuses.

[bloowolf]

I observe these more often on weekends than weekdays. I don't even bother to flash them, it's a waste of time. I just overtake on their right. If you intend to use the rightmost lane, please don't flash the slow ones there to move aside. Kabastusan na yun. They are there for a reason.

pag ganyan.. intindihin nyo na lang sila.. wag na iinit ulo.. kung ayaw umalis.. ikaw na umiwas.. marami kasing drivers marunong lang magpa andar nang sasakyan.. pero hindi alam ang mga road rules and kulang sa courtesy.. just a waste of time kung papatulan mo pa..

[extremeshot]

Correct. Hindi ko na sya pinatulan but I posted the story because I hope that black EK driver is a member here para matuto naman na Mali Ang Ginawa Nya para next time Hindi na nya ulitin.
