it is not legally required, because one has right of way.
but i do it anyway, because, as the others have said, it's safer.

Pag naka signal ka.. lalo nila bibilisan dumaan sa kanan...

Sana binali mo na leeg para di na sumaket

Kaya ako pag turning right dikit na ko sa gutter. Same pag turning left dikit na ko sa center island. Namputsa kasing mga kamote yan bigla na lang sumusulpot.

this is very true.
i have seen it happen to me.
estrada corner leon guinto.
lalong nagmamadali yung motorsiklo, kapag nag-signal ako.

or maybe...
i am slowing down with my brakes, but motorcycle isn't slowing down. that is why he looks like he's accelerating...

Yes, but before turning, I see to it walang MC, kasi minsan instead na mag slowdown sila lalo pa nilang pipilitin na unahan ka sa pagliko....

That's the correct way of doing it! Kainin yung lane as far right as possible so that they have room to pass you on the left (or in our case, making sure they have no room to make singit on the right

)

Sa Japan ganun din, ride a taxi and when they are turning left you'll notice the cars merge into the bicycle lanes and hug the curb.

Same thing happened to me bandang Bicutan/Taguig Service Road last Saturday papunta ako Resort's World

..
All clear talaga nung lumiko ako dahil pakaliwa liko ko.. Syempre naka-Signal.. Wala nga kami nakitang sasakyan.. Tapos padiretso na ako sa flow biglang BOG..

Nadale nya yung kaliwang side bandang gulong sa hulihan.. Hindi nag slow down si koya habang natatanaw nya na siguro ako lumiliko, naka signal at pa-adjust sa lane.. Inabot nya ako..
Bumangga sakin Van na dark green.. First time ko na may makabungo sakin.. Kala ko mapapa-away ako ng di oras.. Pagkakita ko sa driver at nung sasakyan.. Naawa na lang ako... Sira sira na sasakyan puro masilya na.. Tapos driver lang sya di siya may ari.. Buti hindi naman sya nagmatigas sinabi niya lang akala nya daw lilipat ako ng lane.. Pero inisip ko ang haba ng sasakyan ko at puti, 11am pa.. imposibleng di niya nakita na galing akong liko.. (halimbawa nagkamali nga ako) Kung nag slowdown sya at naging defensive driver at hinintay nga ako maka adjust.. Tingin ko hindi niya ako mabubunggo.. Walang ibang mga sasakyan.. At medyo tanaw na may pagbagal sa unahan.. Di kelangan mag madali dahil di ka naman uusad sa unahan..
Buti gasgas lang at konting dent na di masyado pansin ng mata.. Kinuhanan ko lang ng picture mga pedeng hingiin na details hindi na ako naningil.. Naawa na din ako.. At baka di pa sya makapag hanapbuhay ng dahil dun.. Di ko pa napapacheck kung magkano aabutin nun pero mababaw lang naman yung gasgas.. Kumulay ng onti dark green paint nya at may konting dent.. Kapag picturan nga di mapapansin..
Yung realization ko nung makauwi na ng bahay.. Naisip ko what if di siya nag slowdown at pag tapak nya ng preno biglang di gumana yung preno nya.. Baka di lang ganun inabot ko.. Hays.. Delikado talaga..

what i noticed hindi lang mga MC rider meron din mga 4-wheel driver ang nagmamadali when they see your signal light. hindi ko maintindohan ang bagal sabay bibilis bigla takbo nila. hindi kapa pagbinigyan.
