Some things na kinaugalian ng Pinoy that should be changed.
Idling for long periods of time in parking lots like SM Megamall can be dangerous because of CO inhalation & poisoning.
When working on the cars, patayin naman sana yung sigarilyo. You never know if a spark would develope or an explosion occur because of that.
Fixing a flat in the middle of the road is just as dangerous for the ill-fated driver and for others who might not see the vehicle/driver on time.
The road conditions are much worse for the tires, suspension and chassis components of one's vehicle so one needs to have them checked on a regular basis to avoid breakdowns. This is especially true for those who love to go out of town and use the N/SLEX.
Since there is no speed limit in and around the Metropolis, it is advised to go with the flow. However, if somebody wants to pass you please have courtesy to yield if there is space to move into. Actually in essence, try to yield when you can. This prevents init ng ulo, allows one to increase his margin for error, and provides smoother driving (kaysa sa gitgitan).
Buckle up and ask your rear seating passengers to buckle up too. This is especially true for higher vehicles like vans and SUVs because of the higher possibility of roll-over.
Try to have emergency items readily available. First aid kits, emergency tools, filters, spare items like bulbs, etc that would keep you safe and out of harm's way is much better than having none at all. Keep a good phone charger too, your battery well-charged, alternator properly working and belts checked frequently to avoid stalled a stalled vehicle with no means to contact relatives/friends. Loose change also helps when you need to have somebody assist you should the situation call for it.
Situational awareness is key to avoiding accidents. When drowsy, sleepy, exhausted or on medication, avoid driving. This info should be in your manuals too. Have somebody else drive for you, or if not, then try to get some rest before driving.
Do not always assert your right of way. The welfare of others comes first.
