driving in the phils

" I never saw a single incident. No accidents, no road rage - no matter how badly someone cut you off nobody waves a finger or a hand, or gives so much as a look. "

nobody sure waves a finger, but some likes to tote and "wave" a gun... :D

"People have learned to adapt perfectly to a much heightened state of road manner and alertness, that they have become really good at it. " - SO TRUE:D :D

BTW, even in my scoot there's a turbo-intercooler sticker on it. :D

In North America for example - it's so easy to cross a street with all the rules, and lights that you can cross the road in your sleep. Which often leads to fatal mistakes when people are not paying attention. Same with our drivers, driving gets TOO easy sometimes, that it becomes our downfall.

oo nga naman, mas alert ang mga drivers dito. :bwahaha:

... anong manners, wala ngang manners... walang driving courtesy... garapalan... talangka mentality... unahan... lamangan... kainis!!! kaya walang asenso dito kasi kung ano ang makikita mo sa daan na ugali, ganyan malamang sa ibang aspeto, lalo na sa gobyerno... in a way, kung nabasa niyo yung thread nito sa pinagkuhanan, kahiya tayo mga pinoy... down tuloy tingin sa atin... kinukumpera sa mexico, sa china, sa middle east... tsk, tsk, tsk!

* erap, depende siguro, pero imo, responsible pinoy drivers can adapt to any driving situation anywhere kasi nga dahil sa traffice natin dito.

malamang na kups talaga yung friend mo

Erap if you don't mind, share naman kung ano nangyari. Agree ako na we do tend to drive like maniacs (Pinoys in general). Pero I would say na we can adapt easily to driving abroad, although siyempre, kelangan kapa-kapa muna. I was able to drive naman sa States w/o incident (pero kabado ako hehehe), tas dad ko rin last year naman nag-long drive sila sa East Coast (Boston, Maine, etc.). I guess nasa sa tao na lang talaga yan;)

para lang sa pagkain yan, maraming kakain sa kakarampot na kakainin kaya nagkakasunggaban agad dito, sa kanila ang daming pagkain pero konti ang kakain kaya di kelangan magmadali at makipag-unahan...

baligtarin natin, tayo sa mesa nila at dito sila sa mesa natin...

nasa sitwasyon lang kasi yan...we just learned to adapt...

of course anut-anuman maganda pa rin kung nagbibigayan...
