Need Advice as to who is at fault?

[foresterx]

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..

ito ang tama, sadly dito sa atin mas madami kala nila porket kaya nila isingit eh sila na ang tama dahil dapat nag bigay ka which is mali. tingnan mo lang mga post ng ibang tao dito eh tama pa din daw ginawa ng ts. mali na nga pinipilit pa din tama.

^We badly need an updated, comprehensive "road code". The absence of such makes for own interpretation/understanding of road rules e.g. right of way. Kung meron tayo nito pare-pareho ang appreciation ng lahat sa road rules. Siyempre, it should be coupled with strict licensing, as this road code will be the meat of the written test, before the even stricter driving test. I just hope it would happen soon.

Yan din ang tanong ko sa Police officer e what if walang bumigay, magdidilim na lang hindi pa rin ako makakadaan. Sabi niya, oo pag walang bumigay, maghintay ka talaga. Ayon lesson learned na lang na cases like this na kelangan magswitch ng lane, don't expect na may bibigay sayo.

Base sa drawing naka pasok na yung kotse at nabanga siya sa likod. So kung ikaw driver ng truck should stop kasi nakita mo na yung kotse. Parehas kayong may right sa daan nayun kasi hindi solid yung line and it is broken line.

drawing lang 'yan sir.

base sa drawing, kung ako ang tatanungin:
pinagbigyan na ni truck na lumusot si TS.
kaya lang, bago tuluyang makalusot si TS,
pinag- tripan ni truck at tinira siya sa puw3t.

nasa tamang linya si truck, kaya,
kasalanan pa rin ni TS kasi changing lane siya at nagkamali siya ng
tantiya kaya nahagip siya ni truck.

Nabubuking na yung mga 'PUV drivers mentality' ang pagiisip, di naman PUV driver. Di porket naunahan mo right of way kana. Tama yun na kapag trip ka perahan ng sasakyan sa kabilang lane, pwede ka nya banggain. Kung pictures at pwesto lang ng sasakyan ang pagbabasehan eh dehado ka. Kaya dapat may dashcam ka, or may CCTV sa area.

Bakit ba hindi naeemphasize yan sa driving schools at pagkuha ng driver's license? Oh wait, nasa pinas nga pala tayo.

Ayan na naenlighten na yung TS, sana wala nang manggugulo at pagpipilitan na tama lang na sumingit basta mauna ka magpasok ng nguso sa katabing lane.

Sir if may insurance ka... use it! Unless may tinatago ka on your part. Kaya po tayo may insurance is for ganyang situation. It defeats the purpose kasi if youll pay the truck driver 14k. Actually casa estimates higher than that... swerte ka pa dahil di naman sya casa maintain. If i remember correctly, umabot ng 20k+ yun estimate sa rear bumper ko nung binunggo ako ng truck before. Let your insurance handle this kind of situation. Less hassle and stress on your part. Just my 2 cents...

Entering a Roadway from Driveways, Alleys and Parked Position

"A driver entering a road from a parked position, parking lot, shopping area, alley or private drive should yield to motor vehicles approaching on the road to be entered and to pedestrians on the sidewalk.

In the example to the left, the grey car yields to the blue car."

That's the nearest to your situation where a reference is available.

You're behind a stalled truck. Thus, you're coming from a "parked" position. You must yield.

1. kapag nakanguso ka na right of way kana
2. kapag nauna ka nagflash ng ilaw right of way kana
3. kapag nakasignal ka right of way kana
4. sa intersection, kapag mabilis ka dapat yung masmabagal or nakahinto ang magbibigay sayo
5. hazard light is park anywhere light

ano ano pa ba yung mga self made rules natin?
