Basic Traffic Rule

Ever since I started working sa Pasig area I really can't help but be pissed off everyday dahil sa walang sense na traffic. I usually come from the south so I ply the northbound stretch of  EDSA around 6-6:45 AM. The northbound stretch is supposed to have light to moderate traffic because usually the southbound stretch is jammed. Most of the motorists kasi go to Makati CBD for work. So bakit ba mabagal ang galaw ng northbound  during the morning rush hour? I drive a pick-up and I could see na hindi talaga traffic at mabagal lang talaga for some freakin' reason! Pinoy drivers tend to hog the left lane!

The left lane technically is for passing thru slower vehicles sa right. Pag tapos mo lagpasan babalik ka na dapat sa right. Kaya technically bastos pag nag overtake ka from the right pero here in the Philippines we are forced to do it para lang makarating kami sa oras at maka overtake sa mga HUNGHANG na mababagal na drivers na nasa kaliwa. Mas masahol pa kayo sa JEJEMONS!  Bakit ba ang hirap sa inyo na tumabi? Di naman kayo bubusinahan kung hindi kayo mabagal eh or kung alam na may sasakyan pa kayo na binubuntutan. Ano ba problema nyo? You are putting normal drivers in danger dahil we need to find a way to go around you. We need to use the lane nearest to the yellow lane to try to overtake you. Napupunta kami sa mercy ng mga demonyong bus naman! Please lang  kung mabagal use the middle or right lane. Driving slowly is not always driving safely. Being to defensive is offensive to other drivers!

Basic clinical profile ng left lane hoggers based on observation.
1. Owner type jeeps
2. Public fx or van na punong puno at umuusok.(akala nyo mabilis kayo dahil umuusok na siguro)
3. Container van or truck ( i understand mahirap mag shift ng lanes pero from the start wag na kayo sa left)
4. Tricycles, pedicabs (Shoot to kill dapat kayo automatic lalo na sa edsa and commonwealth)
5.  Middle aged mommy drivers ( sorry just an observation. sila din ay usually oblivious sa busina at flashing)
6. Mga driver na nagtetex
8. Senior citizens (excusable)
7. High end cars na sobrang bagal for no apparent reason. (ito ang pinaka kups sa lahat sayang ang kotse nyo leche!)
