    Reminds me on my first time to drive in New England, It was a 2 lane country road and driving all by my lonesome, close window with loud stereo blasting trying to fight off jet lag. I was driving for about 25 minutes and that stretch road was all mine as in wala akong nakakasalubong o nasalikod to overtake me. Then from no where, i saw blinkers from the rear view mirror which is still from a distance to me. Una blinkers lang until their nearing me as i now hear the siren, fire truck pala. As i was still having my Pinas driving mentality, i never pulled over or gave way since the other lane is free at dalawa lang kami sa kalye. I guess the firetruck driver realize i was not giving way, he over took me and gave me a long loud horn with a little push that force me to drop my right wheels into the road side dirt.

    That surely got my jet lag away and when i reached my destination and told my American friends about it, they were laughing at me.

    Per diem na titipirin???? Good luck,- kapag nakapunta ka sa mga strip clubs,- walang tipid-tipid,- bayad kaagad... :naughty2:

    In my limited experience,- controlled but aggressive driving diyan.....
    Pag mag merge ka ng hiway/freeway,- itodo mo ang tapak sa gasolina,- hindi puwedeng style ng merge sa Pinas na mabagal,- dapat same speed ka ng mga sasakyan sa hiway/freeway pagpasok mo....,

    - changing lane,- pag signal mo,- lane change kaagad, at tapak sa gasolina,- hindi puwede ang babagal-bagal.... Diyan ka lang sa middle lane,- para open ang mga options mo....

    STRICTLY FOLLOW THE PRESCRIBED SPEED LIMIT,- but generally,- follow the flow of the traffic,- else, puwede kang "obstruction of traffic"...

    Pag red na,- stop,- do not attempt to beat the red light,- if you do,- at kumuha na ang camera (o nag-flash)- ngumiti ka para pogi ka sa picture....

    Tapos, city traffic/driving,- parang pagda-drive sa Subic... with careful note on a four-way-stop... isa-isa lang.... Generally,- you cannot use the house's driveway for making turns...

    Marami nang kotse riyan na DRL,- huwag ka nang magulat pa...

    Pedestrians are number one on the road... Poporma pa lang sila,- pumepreno ka na... School buses and ambulances, too...

    Don't be on the wrong side of the law,- bubungguin ka nila sigurado.

    Huwag gagamit ng busina,- mapapaaway ka.....

    DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!

    Don't do it against the (law) wall or against the air,- pag napapa-jingle,- hanap ka ng toilet sa mga rest areas ng hiway/freeway.... Sa area na iyan,- malamang nasa center island (area) ang mga rest areas (near East Coast)... Sa West Coast kasi,- nasa kanan ang mga rest areas....

    Naalala ko sinundo ko uncle ko from airport, hatid ko siya sa rockwell. He got annoyed bakit daw panay busina ng mga driver sa pinas, eh nabusina din ako lalo na pag may mga jeep na pasaway. sa tate nga daw bihira sila bumusina, away nga daw pag matakaw ka sa busina.

    Bro,- sabi ko sa mga Kano naming bisita,- ang busina sa Pilipinas,- ay "good morning" o "hello" o "i am here, YOU IDIOT!!!"---- tawanan sila... Controlled Chaos dito kasi,- sabi ko......

    Ganyan nga diyan- generally sunod ka sa speed ng traffic... else "obstruction of traffic" ang kaso mo...

    Pero,- pusta ako,- pag may lumabas na patrol car,- prenohan ang mga unggok na iyan!!!

    Kung hindi,- sasampolan sila ng mga highway patrol... Malas ang mahuli...

    Mayroon pa nga,- bumagal lahat dahil may highway patrol,- and so kasabay na namin siya,- mabait ang lahat,-

    Nag-exit na ang highway patrol,- sagaran na naman ang takbo,- tapos,- biglang bumalik ang patrol,- prenohan na naman ang mga ungas...

    Saan ka pa...

    Ingat ka rin sa mga sky patrol,- mayroon na ganyan... yari ka rin sa mga iyan....

    Hindi uubra balasubas style of driving sa US, you merge on a lane when the one who has the right of way clearly gave way to you. Hindi tulad sa atin na daming bastos na singit ng singit dahil may safe following distance gap ka. Sa US ang busina, unless you are honking to prevent an accident, means f*ck you, so ingat sa paggamit nito. Flashing of headlights means I'm giving way to you. Pedestrians have the right of way, malayo pa lang menor ka na in preparation in letting them pass, kahit hindi pedestrian lane. Makabangga ka ng pedestrian expect jail at malaking gastos. Maraming ambulance chaser attorneys that is in business bleeding the perpetrator dry of his money, kaya huwag mambabangga. Follow those tips already posted earlier, especially those coming from members living in the US.

    Forgot to mention, kapag naka stop ang school bus
    sa lugar na mukhang magsasakay or magbababa stop ka rin sa likod, you're not allowed to pass.

    To all who gave their advice, maraming maraming salamat. Praying na hindi ako magkaproblema sa driving dun. Kanina nagdadrive ako sa ortigas, pinapraktis ko na yung ibang tips nyo. Sa pedestrian, full stop ako bago yung line, i let the passers pass safely before moving on. Kaso may Taxi sa likod binusinahan ako. haha. Malaking adjustment pala gagawin ko.

    Balitaan mo kami magkano na ang driver's insurance ngayon. Remember you can not drive if you do not purchase insurance. Car rental companies will charge it over the car rental cost but if you have a company owned car then will have to buy one.
    Driver's insurance po sir? I hope this would also be shouldered by my employer. Hehehe

    isa pa, huwag pumarada kung saan saan. manood ka ng Parking Wars sa Crime and Investigation channel para matuto sa mga parking rules nila.
