    Porket naka cut ka na. Safe ka na. Heavy vehicles need more distance to stop. Kaya nga tinamaan si TS.

    Alam mo naman sa atin... kung sino bumanga more likely is the one at fault. Based on your sketch sa tinigin ko naman nasa iyo na ang right of way. The truck should have given way already.

    Reality... bakit naman truck ba napili mong unahan bro? Understandable na hirap yan sa stop and go traffic. Theres a higher possibility that something like that could happen.

    Tama ka bro. Simple lang naman talaga yan. Kung may courtesy lang sana drivers para magbigayan. Ayos sana.

    I just think that you should have also exerted extra precaution when changing lanes. Hayaan mo ng medyo matagalan basta lang siguradong napagbigyan ka na.

    Gumawa ako ng sarili kung sketch sa nangyaring accident at since stop and go yun, I was thinking na wala talagang problema yun kasi if bigayan lang, lamang na ako kasi most of my car's body is inside the inner lane na. Ang sabi ng police officer is switching lane daw kasi ako dapat hintayin kung maging clear ang kabilang lane. My thought was, kelan pa magiging clear yun e bumper to bumper ang situation so ang iniisip ko talaga is bigayan na lang. Anong thoughts niyo dito? Need help if you can provide sana any legal basis, I would really appreciate it. Thank you talaga sa makakatulong.

    Tingin ko mali ka nga. Yung laki ng trak, malamang hindi sya umuusad at pinagbigyan ka na nyan, pero tantya ko kulang ang estima mo sa paglipat ng lane kaya ikaw ang sumagi sa kanya.

    Malalaman natin yan sa picture ng banggaan ninyo at yung kaskas sa likod ng oto mo kung papaano. Kung pa-atras ang kaskas, ikaw ang mali, kung pa-abante naman, umaandar sya at sya ang nakabundol sa iyo.

    Patingin nga ng picture na meron ka para mahusgahan ang ginawa ninyo

    Hmmm, a police report should not state who is at fault but rather present itself as an objective description/drawing of the situation/incident. The police cannot make the judgment.

    Only a judge, in a civil or criminal case, can definitely rule on who is at fault or not.

    Honestly boss, hindi ko na kinuhanan ng picture kasi schedule for over-all body repair at repaint na tong kotse ko prior to the accident. Nadagdagan lang ng damage. Naisip ko wag na magclaim ng Own Damage kasi pahirapan mag-claim at yun nga plano ko na i-overall. Pati ang kabilang party wala din picture kasi nung sinukat ng Police ang distance at ginawan ng drawing, pinapunta na kami agad sa precinct.

    Parang ganito boss. Nakakabad trip nga nung tumawag yung repair shop tapos sabi 14K daw lahat. Halatang pinresyohan ng mahal para kumita ng malaki sa insurance samantalang ang damage lang naman medyo na-yupi ang bumper (same nung chrome bumper sa pic pero violet yung sa kanila).

    First thing that came in to my mind boss is mag-yield siya. Both of us coming from complete stop, kumbaga hindi pa kasi siya tumakbo kaya umuna muna ako.

    it's called right of way. hindi po 'yan unahan.
    the vehicle going straight always has the right of way.
    the vehicle switching lane or turning, does not have right of way. he has to wait for the other motorist to yield to him, even if his eyes turn white with impatience.
    unless you can prove that the other guy intentionally made an effort to bump you, it's your fault.

    it is not correct for the lane switcher to assume that since his front end already made it to the lane, he's in the clear..

    yes, i know.. many drivers (me included) drive aggressively when changing lanes. fortunately, many times, nothing happens.
    just count our blessings, so's we don't feel so bad kapag hindi tayo pinag-bigyan ng Nasa Itaas..
