No Exit No Entry

Okay. So sa simula palang (0:02), kung sa kanan ka pala papasok, dapat bumuntot ka nalang sa likod ng Hilux at antayin mo sana ma clear yung lane sa likod ng jeep sa kanan. E taeng tae ka po mauna ano? Kaya sa kaliwa ka ng Hilux nag pass.

Pangalawa, nag cause ka ng traffic, kasi nag change lane ka ng last minute sa unang barrier na nakuhaan sa video (0:10-0:14). Inabala mo yung mga dederetso sana sa kaliwa at inabala mo pati yung kakanan.

Pangatlo, yung pag swerve na ginawa mo, hindi mo dinahan dahan. Oo mabagal yung takbo mo pero di mo dinahan dahan yung pag transition mo pa kaliwa. You could have caused an accident, and you surely slowed down traffic again, may inabala ka nanaman.

Swerving is not a violation, but reckless driving is. Just because you were driving slow, it doesn't mean na hindi reckless yung ginawa mo.

Kung kanan ka pala all the way, dapat hindi mo sa kaliwa inovertake-an yung Hilux.

"Baka mamaya maka disgrasya pa kayo" -tama tong sinabi ni kuya tapos ano sabi mo? "okay lang okay lang, naiintindihan ko kayo"

Kung naiintindihan mo pala, edi tapos na dapat ang usapan ano po?

"Nag signal light po kayo kung kelan malapit na kayo" - I can't comment on this, pero signal light or no signal light, ang layo ng pinang galingan niya sa kaliwa pa kanan. haha

"Alam ko kung mali ako o tama ako kuya" - this is a very dangerous statement ha. E papaano kung yung alam mong tama e mali pala. Reckless driving ka di mo pala alam.

What you did is reckless driving, it is dangerous to you and to other motorists and posting this video to make other motorists think that this is okay is not okay.

Be disciplined on the road, and be courteous on the road. Hindi ikaw ang may ari ng kalsada para ikaw at sasakyan mo lang ang iisipin mo pag nag mamaneho. Be mindful of the traffic and of other motorists.

Ask ko lang, san nappunta ang utak kapag naka helmet na? Di niyo ba gets na napaka delikado sabayan ng pag liko ang sasakyan kapag naka single kayo?

Spot the other kamote 🤣

Sa Pilipinas di pwedeng pinagbibigyan ‘to. Kailangan gitgitin yan haha tsaka kasya naman mga single bakit pipirme sa gilid?? 🤣

It isn't that hard to be considerate towards other people, is it? Before you react, I want us all to reflect when we last showed consideration on the road? May of us would want to believe that we are always considerate, but some may be wrong. Take the usage of turn signals, for an example. You may have observed that a majority of fiilpino drivers use turn signals, yes it's true, just not properly. When exactly do you use turn signals? Just as you switch lanes? In the middle of switching lanes? Or moments after switching lanes? Which one is the most considerate thing to do? Some would say that using the turn signal as they switch is the best way to go since the car behind will not give way as soon as they see that a car will cut in front of them. I say, unless you have the mentality of the car behind, it's THEIR problem, not yours. Improper use of turn signals is not only incosiderate, but also dangerous. So what if the other driver doesn't give way, the next might. Who knows. Just wait for that one driver who will let you merge. Think about it the next time you hit the road, will you?

Would you enter a mall or a building at its exit just as you would do at a gas station?

This is an unpopular opinion, not just here in the Philippines but in other countries as well.

There is a reason why ENTRANCE and EXIT signs exist at gas stations - so you know where to enter and exit, right? But it's also for the smooth flow of traffic inside the area and around the pumping stations. But this is not enforced and the signs are proven useless. Doesn't seem to be a problem with gasoline boys and pump attendants, right? It's because this has become the norm. They don't bother pointing us to the right direction anymore, because most of us are a**l when confronted.

Would you enter a mall or a building at its exit just as you would do at a gas station?

As you can see in the video, the truck is already close to a stop upon crossing the intersection.

You see, the larger your load is, the longer it takes for you to come to a complete stop, moreso if you are speeding. So this truck was cruising on a highway with very light traffic, and he tried to rush to the intersection instead of slowing down to anticipate the change in traffic lights. Light turned orange, then to red. The driver couldn't stop even if he wanted to, because his vehicle is huge, and he's driving fast considering that he was approaching an intersection.

Your take?
