Using the shoulder as an overtaking/fast lane

[Horsepower]

B747: you're right bro, sa ME lang ako nakakakita ng nangc-cut at 200kmh. And halos araw araw may patay na arabo or indian/pakistani sa car accidents. Really stupid drivers.

pero sa ME lang ako nakakita ng Lamborghini at Ferrari EVERYDAY. hehehe.

Yoda: got your point, siguro i'm like this kasi i'm not yet a family man. Indeed, perspectives would change pag may dependents ka na.

Minsan kasi, most of us don't know what to do with these lowlifes.

[teeyoh]

this is so true... i remember when the rehabilitation of SLEX havent started yet, our expat GM (a german national) has this habit of using the shoulder. Coupled with poor implementation of rules by the enforcers, never pa sya nahuli. if ever na mahuli man, maybe intimidated ang enforcers kasi foreigner. pinapalusot with the usual "no more next time, sir."

my brod in law (german) when he started driving in the phils was the typical european type i.e. law abiding, no sounding of horns, and obsrves the right of way... but it is not applicable here with our drivers in fact his cars are always in and out of the casa because of collisions as he doesn't give in to those mahilig sumingit and insist of his right of way. fortunately ala pa namang gabe aksidente at lagi namang collect sa insurance kaya lang suki na siya ng dealer.

kaya lang maybe because of our driving conditions sa 'pinas my brother in law had changed his passive driving and become more aggresive... now pag nahuli ng mmda for small violation like swerving "pagbukas ng window ngiti lang siya" tapos dahil foreigner inglis naman yung officer ng sir! you are swerving sir!!! pero filipino culture kaya "no repeet next time"...

... what does he want me to do???? accelerate to 200 just so he can move along? talking about commonsense, who does 140 while nearing the tollbooth??? ...

Weave from side to side para akala nya lasing ka.

He will avoid you.

I think it boils down to respect. Too many people want to become "King of the Road": Jeepneys, Cars with Wang-Wang, Buses, Luxury Vehicles...

The problem really is that they tend to lack respect for other drivers... either that or they keep having diarrhea and really need to use the rest room fast!

The police should apprehend these people. 510Php per violator should boost the government's revenues considerably. Just because everyone's doing it and the authorities are not doing anything about it doesn't mean it's right. One of these days, a stalled vehicle will be on the shoulder and those 120km/h Expeds will need to swerve into the outermost lane and plow through law-abiding drivers.

How about thinking of yourself since there's no family to think of (yet). Think of how much you'll miss out on if your life ends meaninglessly due to a road rage incident. (knock on wood) Either that or mag-asawa ka na.

Very true! Akala mo oras lang nila ang mahalaga. Akala mo sila ang nagpapaikot sa mundo. Anak ng teteng!

Sobrang walang paki.

U can overtake there, at ur own risk na mahuli, kung its really safe.

Kasi everytime me exit, ur suppose to give way dun sa mga lumalabas or pumapasok(nagbe-blend) sa traffic. Ur suppose to tranfer nga to the passing lane, d ba? Tapos haharangan o kacut-an mo pa.

Napaka dangerous nun.

That will never happen. Protected child ako e. hehe

Anyway, thanks for the concern. Di naman ako road rage type of guy, I'm not the type who'll step out of my car just to waste my time over some lowlife who doesn't know how to drive properly.

I'm too young to get married, mid-20s pa lang ako e. hehe
