Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[vinj]

^In the early mornings before they did the stoplight timing changes, if i wanted to reach the green light from Ayala Ave - Sedeno - Villar, one had to be first in line along the Ayala stoplight then drag race moves ka hanggang Makati Ave intersection. It was useless really since at the Paseo - Makati Ave. stoplight, those left behind at the previous red lights would eventually reach you... but it was a fun way to stretch your car's legs. :D

Years ago, there used to be this diplomatic plate Range Rover who would regularly counterflow on Villar Street during rush hour. The worst i've seen him do was go on the Paseo De Roxas sidewalk on Ayala Triangle... ampch talaga yun.

Going back to driving etiquette, I was going uphill last night and another driver refused to give me right of way. Oh well.

this pickup na pumaparada sa harap namin everydat (not necessarily blocking the gate). tapos nung isang araw eh umalis sila at dumating ang pinsan ko, obviously they will park there sa tapat namin. aba naman, nung bumalik na itong bulok na pickup eh pinapalayas yung pinsan ko kesyo kanya daw yun.

eh hello, kalsada yun, public property, walang may-ari. free for all kung paparadahan yun, hindi pwede angkinin. ang angas pa.

Dumbf_cks who can't read road markings or road signs yet have the gall to be the angry ones.

Yesterday, while at Paseo de Roxas cor Makati Ave: I was going to turn left, so I took the 2nd to the leftmost lane. Someone was in the leftmost lane, and there is a left arrow -- not a left or straight arrow -- a left arrow clearly painted on the lane.

Jack*$$ in a dark gray CRV pulls up behind me, not too close to be dangerous, but too close to turn away. When the light turns green for the folks going straight, he gets on his stebel magnum-high pitched horn trying to move me forward.

Why should I? Lane marking was clear, not faded. It says left. The left turn light was still red.

Light turned green, and I shifted into D and pulled away cautiously. I was with the family, was not in a hurry, and the road was wet. He was still on his horn. It was fading a bit. Bad connection I guess, or bad copy.

kapag kumakaliwa ako sa makati ave galing paseo de roxas eh diyan din ako pumepwesto sa leftmost 2nd lane (left or straight). :D

mas matagal kasi yung sa pinaka-left lane at minsan pile-up ang pila doon compared sa 2nd lane.

Experience this often along Samat street in Mandaluyong. Tsk tsk!

this pickup na pumaparada sa harap namin everyday

there's his mistaken reason for 'owning' the slot. he forgets that it's a public street, and possession is 9/10s of the law

true sir.

plus the blatantly obvious fact that the supposed authorities have painted the lane to be a left turning lane.

buti sana kung 1 lang ang left turning lane tapos doon kayo nakahinto at nag-green ang padiretso. now that would be obstruction.

[john5]

nangyari din sakin yan, pinalusot ko yung nakamotor dahil ang trigger naman talaga ay yung nasa unahan..

pero come to think of it, may mali pa din siya dahil di siya nagfollow ng safe distance...

madulas din kase kalsada boss, natanggal ko na ng rubbing compound yung ibang marka may konting pintura na dumikit sa bumper ko di ko pa naaalis.buti na lang wala akong dent.bwisit talaga walang mga manners magmaneho

experienced this too on a backstreet on baguio, napakatarik ng backstreet sa baguio, pagdating ko sa top at aahon may jeep na di ako pinagbigyan. kaya ayun sira momentum, iyak ulit makina para makaahon, and it doesnt help na sumayad yung ilalim namin dahil sa sobrang steep ng incline.

Kahit naman matic, may konting atras pa yan, depende sa oto. Ingat lang.

Not to mention, sunog pa clutch mo.

Just today, stupid arse silver Grand Starex with chrome doo-dads all over, busina ng busina ng kanyang FIAMM horn pag go ng traffic (kahit hindi pa gumagalaw yung nasa harapan ko). When we reached an intersection along Santolan road with our stoplight still on green but the lane ahead was full, i stopped to make sure we don't block the intersection if the light turns red. Lo and behold, busina pa rin ng busina si $*$ ^#*$ na Starex.

Umagang umaga, taeng *** na siya. Di ko pinansin and nung naglipat ako ng lane, I positioned my car in a way that he got caught behind a slow jeep. :D

usually ginagawa ko sa ganun is to open my window and point to the traffic light if red pa or point to the intersection that its full na. baka kasi feeling gangstah kaya busina ng busina hehe

One week na nga lang bakasyon ko dyan sa pinas sinayaran pa ako ng tricycle. Nakapila ang kumag turning left, ako naman paderetso, para hindi na sya pumila, kinabig nya pakanan sa lane ko, sakto sa left end bumper ko.

Hindi raw ako napansin kasi punong puno ng tarapal ang tricycle nya.

Gusto ko sana basagin agan ang headlight at lahat ng pwede basagin sa kanya doon mismo sa scene pero baka kuyugin kami kasama ko pa naman si misis.

Kaya naghintay lang ako ng traffic enforcer, lo and behold ang mokong na driver, Tiket ang license daming prior violation at hindi na raw matubos dahil walang pera, pagdating sa Station hinanap ang OR/CR, nge wala ding maipakita. Kaya yung tiket nya natiketan ulit.

Habang nagbibigay sya ng statement nagpaalam na kami ni misis sa imbestigador na kung pede umalis na kasi tapos na ako magbigay ng statement. OO naman si imbestigador.

On our way out, deretso ako sa kotse at kinuha ang tire wrench saka ko pinagbabasag ang headlight, windshield, tail light ng tricycle sabay harurot na paalis.

sir yon parang L shape na tire wrench ba gamit nyo? hindi ba mahirap basagin yon headlight?
kainis talaga undiscipline motorcycle, na out of balance while on a stoplight at nagasgas mags ko.

Yup. L shape nga sya, beuna mano sa kanya ko nagamit since 2 yrs pa lang yung city ko.

Hindi naman mahirap, sakto nga lang kasi yung kanto ng L naman ang itatama mo.

Nasa gilid ng daan nakaparada yung tricycle at kitang kita ng mga motorist ang pagbasag ko kasi nagtatalsikan mga plastic ng signal light pag tinamaan ng tire wrench. Yung station nga pala ay yung nasa likod ng crame papuntang city hall ng san juan pag deretso at gilmore naman pag kumaliwa.

Bwiset talaga yang mga trikes sa area na yan... counterflow, tutok, singit, etc.

On my way home naman yesterday (after meeting up with crazy_boy sa Makati... thanks sa epektus pards), I was moving in slow traffic on Kalayaan Ave. going to C5 and this Alphard keeps his headlights on high beam the whole time.

[zero]

kanina dito sa san juan, isang buwisit na rider binangga ang likod ng oto ko, sabay takas sa side street.
kaya hindi ako naa-awa sa mga riders na naaksidente dahil asal lamok ang karamihan, hit and run madalas sila.
