I have no love for all public utility drivers.
Ang masaklap nito kakagaling lang nung pick-up sa Baguio nagbakasyon yung buong pamilya yata. I can just imagine ang saya-saya ng stay nila sa Baguio and then pagbaba lang eh trahedya naman aabutin nila... although from the news it seems he brought it upon himself din. Kaya ako, kahit pinipilit ng mga barkada kumuha ng baril ayaw ko rin. Mainitin din ulo ko kaya baka makapang-massacre ng di oras.
Same here... the dark side of me actually thought about having more EDSA - Commonwealth bus drivers shot up... but that's another story.
True, all we can learn from this is how the one quick, thoughtless decision can have such a big impact in our lives, and that of our loved ones. That's precisely i always labor hard to keep my pride in check and temper under control. Thankfully age and experience also helps.
Ako din, minsan naiisip ko na sana may mag form ng group na tipong a**hole PUV driver death squad. Yung pag para nila, bigla nalang babarilin ung driver and conductor kasi sobrang reckless mag drive and ung conductor ay walang paki.
Yes, age really helps in keeping pride in check. Mas nari realize mo kasi ung priorities mo kaysa pag pinatulan mo ang isang motorist due to your pride.
I have been watching Russian Road Rage and Accidents recently in YouTube and one thing I have observed, parang mga tanga at engot. Sa sobrang laki ng ego ng both parties, bababa sila at mag susuntukan, sipaan, labas ng baseball bat, ax, baril, etc then pagkatapos, balik sa mga auto nila then alis. Parang mga tanga. Minsan may mga minalas dahil binaril.
Pag umakyat talaga dugo sa ulo hindi mo na mapipigilan sarili mo lalo na may baril ka. Baka natraffic yung naka pick up at bwisit na bwisit na bago pa sumabit side mirror nya sa solid north. I know this place as I have been assigned in Pangasinan for more than 10 years. Traffic sa Villasis kaya yung marurunong magilas trail ang ruta.
Hindi naman ganun pasaway mga nasasakyan kong bus ng solid north. Relatively new karamihan ng buses nila at maaayos.
I have been tempted to buy gun many times pero dahil mainitin ulo ko, I just shrugged it off.
Yung kaibigan ko, one time sa sobrang pikon sa bus driver na gumitgit sa amin, bumaba at binaril yung dalawang gulong sa harap ng bus.
Putlang-putla yung driver nung nakita ko. I think he learned his lesson while he was peeing on his pants.
As for me, I give these people a wide berth. Kotse lang ako .......... BUS yan! Which ever way you put it, pag inabot ka nyan, PATAY KA.

Ano ba tips to keep cool, espcially at the first 2 minutes of the incident. I admit yung mga unang segundo ng insidente may ego/high blood/galit takes over me and logic and rational decision goes out the window. Minsan inuunahan ako ng pangamba na baka may baril yung kabilang party, pero most of the time hindi.

Literally chill. Drink ice cold beverage or eat ice cream. Matrapik din sa baguio this christmas season pero pansin ko di sila mahilig magbusina at mukhang mas mahaba pasensya.

Malamig na kasi sa Baguio eh. Cool na cool ... :D
Pero, yeah I could say na hunger contributes to patience level. Personally for me, mas maiksi ang patience level ko if Im hungry. Kaya tuwing long drives, suki ako ng mga gas station convenience stores.
:D

^ True that you should really be well fed and not agitated when you start a long drive. Kahit hindi nga long drive, kung gutom ang tao, masungit na...
I dunno how but usually after working and keeping your control for a minute or so... lumilipas din yung itim sa mundo mo. The key is keeping your self control for those first few golden minutes after the "incident".

everytime na umiinit na ang ulo ko sa mga balasubas sa kalsada iniisip at sinasabi ko sa isip ko "tanginanew pack kyo, pasalamat kayo kay rolito go at di ko kayo papatulan".
Iniisip ko nalang pag ganyan, mga hindi napromote sa opisina kaya sa kalye nilalabas ang sama ng loob. Kawawa naman lol
