Don't you just love those people who park stupidly?

Leviticus2 : See, you agreed with me, in some ways.

dropping off an old person or family member-- if it's only for unloading purposes then letting people off in front of the entrance of a business establishment is perfectly fine as these are designated loading/unloading areas.

But, not all establishments have their own loading & unloading zones right ? Take my illustration regarding the van as an example. Simply put that the illustrated van is yours. He's clearly breaking the law since he stopped not on the side, but on the path of the oncoming cars itself & dropped off something. If we're going to follow the international practice, then he's obstructing something. Hence, is a candidate for a ticket.

Going back, what if it's you driving the van and it's an old lady that you're dropping off ? I'm sure you're aware on how ladies especially old ones act & move. They're s .. l .. o .. w .., thus, can even take up more than a minute.

If I were in that case ? I'd simply push my hazard lights on to make the cars at my back aware of what I am doing -, parked .. for a couple of minutes ... cause im dropping someone off. - and with that, those cars at my back would simply overtake me and proceed cautiously without bugging me with their horns because at their minds they thought that I was stopped there for no apparent reason.

Phetzie : Correct. Obviously, there are 2 different views that are completely opposite with each other. Whereas one of them is followed,practiced & seen correct by many while the other one is simply a rule that is typewritten on a sheet of paper that I'd bet, even the enforcers are unaware of it.

If bruks_pt & leviticus2 want this to be enforced strictly, then why not start on your own and start educating your friends that are surrounding you both. Who knows, maybe, again maybe, some of them might take the same path as yours.

And if that's what you're doing right now, then sadly, you guys failed. Because obviously most of us here will stick to the tradition for our own convenience & safety.

Ohwell. I rest my case. This argument will not stop as 2 views cannot please each other and be as one.

And yes, we're completely off-topic. Mods might just give us an infraction for being so. I'm sure all of us doesn't want to have one.

Might as well make up a different thread regarding this -, and yes, I am referring to you, Leviticus2 - that might just be kept open ...... for a couple of minutes. :hysterical:

stopping and using HL may be against the law, he may even have a different view on the matter, but you really have to call the poster stupid? just because he doesnt accord with your view?

Again sa Pinas tayo, so to be relatively safe , better to know how traffic enforcers and the usual drivers think locally. Hindi internationally, hindi naman nag-iinternet mga tricycle drivers, taxi, bus drivers etc para sa ehow or wikipedia. Puwede sa mga scandals or FB (For Bobo).

The title of the thread you're in suggests otherwise.

"Don't you just love those people who park stupidly?"

[SIZE="4"]Ganito lang yan...kung kayo ay nakakaharang sa daanan ng sasakyan eh huwag na

kayong magbaba at magsakay ng tao dun...Huwag na kayo gumaya sa mga jeepney and

taxi drivers na halos lahat sila ay walang pinag-aralan...

Kung sakaling may nakapark na sa gilid at sa tabi pa kayo hihinto para magsakay o

magbaba ng tao/gamit eh mahiya naman kayo dahil may pinag-aralan kayo...Yung mga

jeepney at taxi drivers eh may dahilan naman kung bakit sila ganyan magmaneho...

Maghanap kayo ng mapaghihintuan nyo para magbaba at magsakay ng hindi nakaka-

perwisyo sa ibang motorista...[/SIZE]

The title is not directed to anyone bro. It is a general statement.

However, entries are. And obviously, are not healthy.

Would anyone like to be called one?

If you only knew who that poster is then probably you're gonna agree with me.

What if you were to wait for 2 minutes only ? Would you park still ? That's a complete waste of 40 pesos. Even 25 if you opt for the open parking. With the prices of the necessities today, better save up. But that's a different topic, so lets not mind that as of the moment.

Personally, I hate this kind of reasoning.

How can you explain that to the motorist behind you? For the traffic jam you have generated?

Do you know the word "istorbo sa ibang gumagamit ng daan"?

If you want to save money then use the Public transportation.
