Yet, I get the ticket for stopping my car on a sidewalk for five minutes with me sitting in it with the car running - obstruction! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't call them "emergency flashers" here... They are called "hazard lights" and I certainly understand why... Most Filipino drivers should drive with them on all the time!!! (and some of them actually do!!!!) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillipino_wannabe Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Most don't get any lessons lol. Most people have a relative who has a friend in the office who can sort it for them, if not just pay 3-4k pesos and done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then, when they get behind the wheel, they do what Filipinos are very good at - mimicking others that they see... So they see the bozos cutting lanes and all the rest already presented here and just copy cat that so that they are accepted as drivers and not chastised by their friends, relatives or other drivers... so it continues, ad nauseum...

You should be ashamed of yourself. Haven't you learned that sidewalks in the Phills are for vendors only? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time just wait for one of the PNP cars that are constantly patrolling the streets looking for traffic violators! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
