Safety

[baiskee]

to admins and mods,

i think we should have a "safety" thread for the tsikot community.
a simple reminder lang to our fellow motorists, passengers...there are incidents kasi na maaari nating maiiwasan if we practice safety.

if we love our family, its not too late... it should start from us.

yah I agree. let me start:

how do I perform CPR?

OB,
The first question is WHEN do you perform CPR. It might sound trivial but a friend of mine was put in such a predicament last year.

So in the interest of life preservation, she peformed CPR. Unfortunately doing CPR is very uncomfortable [and painful] when done on a living and coherent person. Up to now we still joke about that incident.

Child seats, I'm amazed on how much excuses parents make as to why their child should'nt use them...

The most common "lumaki naman tayo wala nyan ah" - Stupid reason.

Even worse are people who refuse to wear seatbelts just because "magugusot suot ko."

Regarding CPR, si Doc na bahala dyan, but a member of Kotse.com posted several pics that I kept and printed... Left copies sa shop, bahay at kotse hehe.

Safety also includes road courtesy like signalling before changing lanes; merging smoothly with moving traffic; following traffic lights, and other supposedly basic things that we sometimes take for granted because we are in a hurry, in a bad mood, fatigued, etc.

seatbelts and child seats are very very important, to be sure.

but you know what is so completely unsafe and irresponsible, yet i hear it discussed so casually and accepted on this forum?

Ayos ito! Ang galing ng gimik ng (lalaking) na CPR, tama ba?.... hehehe

Sir may ambubag naman (para hindi mag mouth to mouth).

Kaya daw pala parang napapadilat sa sakit yung tao habang nagche-chest compressions siya...

Hindi naman makapagsalita dahil intubated.

ko i have child seat...lagi nga ako tumitingin sa baby section,, forget na mga JDM/sparco/recaro seats..and pag tumitingin ako ng new car, rear child seat anchor hinahanap ko agad!

and n those people who says unsafe ang JDM:

safety come from with-in, a check-up and regular maintance is the key..di kasalanan ng sasakyan kung pangit pagkaconvert sa kanya, biktima lang sila ng mapanamantalang negosyante!

kaya kung bibili ng converted, at may katulad na LHD, take pictures of the original LHD then compare mo sa converted.. kung pareho, safe, kung 90-99%, may mapapagawa ka pa, kung 89% below: maghanap ka ng iba, unless willing siya ibigay sa yo ng bagsak presyo at madami kang papagawa.

kahit anung sasakyan, LHD, or converted, bago/luma basta di alaga, unsafe un!

ung pinakasimple siguro would be to always use your signal lights -- and to make sure they are working all the time
