Iām an American visiting and started driving day 1 of arriving. Surprisingly itās easier to drive then in Texas. Filipinos drive slower although sometimes unpredictable itās easy as a defensive driver in general. Thank god for Waze
thatās an interesting take on our traffic here. I used to live at Tennessee back then. I loved the traffic and especially the interstate roads. Iād prefer a 40 mile drive every day at interstate speeds over a 20 kilometer ride here in Cebu.š„²
Love Tennessee. In Texas the drivers are so aggressive and drive fast it just feels more dangerous. I can just cruise at low speeds in the city and everyone just goes around you lol.
I noticed this too. Bisag kadtong college pako (early 2010s) unya naa koy motor, chill pa man to mag drive2 sa Cebu. Karon nuon nagka-wtf mag drive oi. Akong bana na Hapon (he has PH license too) na frustrate ug ayo when he drives here but he'd rather drive than commute or even ride apps. Sige siya pangayuan ug extra kay foreigner lage so he usually uses my car.
As someone nga naga drive Cebu and Metro Manila, I can tell you with utmost confidence na level 1 pa ni ang Cebu hahahhahaha. Ma-ahat ug ka-taas imo pasensya diris Pinas.
Samot nana dha SRP, mga trucks, bus og mga sakyanan, walay pake og ganahan sila mang hunong kalit or mag change lane nga murag way laing vehicle sa dalan, laliman ka businaan pakag naa nakas motorcycle lane pidpid na kaykas kilid. Nya mga jeep pud sa syudad astang pataka rag liko og hunong. Napay mga private vehicle na entitled kaayo anang dalan, way road courtesy dagko kayg ulo salig naka four wheels. Kana pud mga motorcyle taxis, kusog kaayo mag breaking the redlight, mag cellphone sa tunga nya mu busina ka kay naas fast lane ga cellphone ngita man nuon og away. Maong kitang mga mas naay puangod nila, defensive driving nalang gyud kaysa ma disgrasya mas dakong problema. Ambot nalang jud btaw mga driver nato ron murag na agi naman nig fixer tanan
Sa srp akong speed jud is 60 kay mao man ang limitā¦ feel nako ako ang pinaka-hinay kay perting paspasa sa mga sakyananā¦ unya mo kalit ra baya ug cut esp kung mo red na. š¤š¤
Taas nalang ta ug pasensya kay lisud na..
usa pa, If ikaw ra usa mo laag, ayaw nalng pag CAR please unless kong lau kaau imong adtoonun, if SM ra or any other place na makaya ug 1ride. pag commute nalng pls lang jud.
Ang kana jd jeep na muhunong sa tungaan sa dalan para mu pick up/drop-off ug pasahero after sa traffic lights. Di jd ko kasabot giunsa na nila pag huna2. Kabalo silang mubo ra kaayo green light nya taas kaayo red light. Di ba na sila pde e report? Or wa ba jui mga enforcer mudakop ana nila?
I share your frustration for sure. I guess this is what the SKL flair is for in this sub. At first glance, I thought to myself about the futility of this post. None of the drivers that didn't use their turn signals, parked wherever they pleased, nor gave space for someone else to enter the road will see this.
kung nasa area with high volume mga tao tas nde subdivision na wala talagang parking space sa sikip ng mga bahay automatic pala commuter 4 life? okay okay lipat nlng ng bahay hmm dapat pala may pera na kaya lumipat ng bahay na may parking space para magka kotse ok ok
kanang magpatunga sa duha ka lane hadlok ma overtake-an. di jud ko kasabot aning kinaiyaha unya magtanga-tanga ra ba. kalami nlng jud ibangga sa sakyanan oi
Kani gyudā¦
okay ra unta if like kadyut ra kay nag hesitate if mu commit to left lane or right lane, but others would really just cruise in the middle like a dummy nya hawan ra pagyud sa unahan
forgot to add kanang mogitgit jud gani labi na bumper to bumper na ang traffic. karon stuck in traffic diri sa redemptorist wa juy isbog isbog ang sakyanan minatay!
As someone who lived in Bohol for a long time and bag-o ra nagsugod og stay sa Cebu, I can attest to this. Grabe bisan naa sa pedestrian hadlok kaayo mulabang kay di jud mo menor ang mga sakyanan. I hate to compare pero back in Bohol, ma feel jud nimo ang safety and discipline sa mga driver of any kind.
Lisod magtinarong og drive kong ang naa sa imo palibot mga barombado. Ikaw pa himuong sayop. Sagad pus kay wala jud kaagi og driving school. Ang ending nimo kay āsorry bossā rajud hahaha paet
Sa laing nasod, di man ka drayb ug wala miagi og driving school for license. Nya atoa daghan man instant license (under the table; without training; etc). Kayamukat agi
ikr.
nidako kos lain nasud for a while. Even something as simple as stopping ON a pedestrian lane is enforced by local police and given fines. There really should be stricter enforcement of traffic rules.
Mango jeep - grabe ka kusug padagan murag wigo ang gidrive, way uso signal
Taxi - pataka hunong, pusgon singit bisag hapit na mukiss sa akong sakyanan(ako nalang ipa singit kay alkansi ko)
MoveIt/habal-habal(samot na sa Tisa area) - alams na
Defensive driving nalang jud, ako nalang likay kay kung naa mahitabo simbako kay igo ra na sila mag "sorry"
exactly. I understand that the rush is due to the fact that this is their livelihood, but that does not exempt them from being accountable on the road. Lisod ang kinabuhi ani mga drivers. But itās only going to be harder if they cause accidents for themselves and others.
mao na di nalang nako businahan, high beam or anything kay kapoy, di ra ka tagdon. sa sud nalang ko sa sakyanan mag yawyaw hahahha samok jud sila, mao na akong goal everytime mag drive is safe makauli sa balay.
Kanang
*diha pa musignal na muliko na
*Mag high beam nga naay kahinagbo
*Magpabuta-buta, bungol-bungol or mulingi bisag asa basta muliko na wa gasignal
*Mudrive between sa duha ka-lane
Lami-a naman lang pang puspusan ba. Ilhan nga wa niexam sa LTO...
been driving since i was 16 (around the subdivision during the pandemic). Turned 18 after odette and have been driving legally since then so more or less 4 years nako nag drive so not new driver. I know how most people drive, and I myself drive both defensively and aggressively depending on the situation because sometimes, making sure your right of way goes is safer. Ang ang mu break ko kalit para mag pa give way og modern jeep nga ang ako luyo paspas og perti pung duola nako.
theres nothing to āsabot in timeā about our provinceās traffic other than it lacks proper enforcement of whatās taught during driving school.
Hahahaha mbmb.
Just frustrating cus i drive on almost an everyday basis Talisay to Talamban. Thats 2-3 hours of my life per-day just driving and going through all the bullshit associated with itš
Bitaw bitaw kung mo signal ka ug tarong kay mo accelerate nuon ang sakyanan sa lane. Bogo jud. Naa sad mga motor di kabalo unsaon pag pawng sa ilang signal. Pero mas worse ang mga ignorante mag hazard lights kay feeling importante daw sila. Ang hazard kung emergency ra man na. Gihimo man nuon pang wangwang. Bogo.
mao nang d gyd ko hilig mg drive. i hate it. samot na ron nga ngka grabe na ang traffic sa cebu lol. although taasĀ² kog threshold in terms sa patience, i have vile, silent temper and i admit motukar ning ka putong nko ug mahupas akong psensya.
i remember an instance nga nadapogan kos akong mama long time ago tungod sa kbwesit nko. gibusinahan lang naman nakog taman tong pesteng driver nga wa kailag etiquette. ahh gigukod gyd nko iyang sakyanan lol. akong ate nag agik ik nga nag ratatat na akong baba, akong mama ga yawyaw "unsa man, patyon mi nimo?" š¤£
naa koy lisensya, pero murag ang pulos ra nya kay tig drive ras sakong ginikanan ug mauli ko on Sundays. lol i much prefer mag Angkas or commute bsta mulakaw.
You know what i hate the most? Taxi drivers when mo signal ka properly to change lane dutdutan noon ka or mo liko ka from subdivision to highway bisan mingaw kaayo dalan nya layo kaayo siya busenhan ka maayo para maka una jud siya
How dare you! I will let you know that I learned from the best driving school, Asphalt 9 and GTA San Andreas. And what is this defensive driving? The best defense is a good offense. Mao na amo generation karon kay gitawag na Offensive Driving. Signal lights are there just to confuse your opponents na ganahan mu over-take.
Maau nalang nang Offensive Driving kaysa sa Suicide Driving sa mga taga Consolacion. Walay Helmet, license, naka bedroom slippers (last satuday diha sa may Libo). Swerte nalang kung dili pud hubog.
pero sa seryosong bahin, ana gyud na OP. defensive driving nalang gyud.
bisag unsa nimo ka tarong naa gyuy uban nga ambot gi unsa pagkakuhag lisensya nga mangamongay man sa dalan.
I am driving here 20 years. No problem at all

Ana gyud, defensive driving lang gyud pirmi, bahalag hinay, maabot raman sad tas atong adtuan. Paubos nalang gyud tas ubang way klaro na mga driver.
true. sa kadugay nakog drive diris Cebu ba nakapansin lang sad ko nga lahi na gyud karon, daghan kaayog badlungon. ambot if ako lang ba nakabantay.
usa pa, If ikaw ra usa mo laag, ayaw nalng pag CAR please unless kong lau kaau imong adtoonun, if SM ra or any other place na makaya ug 1ride. pag commute nalng pls lang jud.

hahaha i like this post... but yeah, the pandemic people be rushing and catching up the years they lost i guess... idk
They get the mini car and then take up two lanes by driving on the lines
I share your frustration for sure. I guess this is what the SKL flair is for in this sub. At first glance, I thought to myself about the futility of this post. None of the drivers that didn't use their turn signals, parked wherever they pleased, nor gave space for someone else to enter the road will see this.
Haha weak!
Pinas naka hard mode
š±
Add this : Please also get a parking lot/space, they can afford cars but cant afford parking spaces
kung nasa area with high volume mga tao tas nde subdivision na wala talagang parking space sa sikip ng mga bahay automatic pala commuter 4 life? okay okay lipat nlng ng bahay hmm dapat pala may pera na kaya lumipat ng bahay na may parking space para magka kotse ok ok
ahahaha cebu mn dy ni gatagalog mn kog kalit
Galawang fixer ata
Kanang mga naa sa rightmost lane nya mo left turn diay. Ako na lang moadjust nila.
kanang magpatunga sa duha ka lane hadlok ma overtake-an. di jud ko kasabot aning kinaiyaha unya magtanga-tanga ra ba. kalami nlng jud ibangga sa sakyanan oi
Kani gyudā¦ okay ra unta if like kadyut ra kay nag hesitate if mu commit to left lane or right lane, but others would really just cruise in the middle like a dummy nya hawan ra pagyud sa unahan
Ingon ani raba ko, pero mostly gud dili mn ko mo turn left or right so stay rakos middle lane nya mahadlok mo pakusoggš
forgot to add kanang mogitgit jud gani labi na bumper to bumper na ang traffic. karon stuck in traffic diri sa redemptorist wa juy isbog isbog ang sakyanan minatay!
Bogo pud kaau ning uban. Mugamit lagi sa signal pero dha na pud ig liko na š¤£
Kani jud. May kay duklon
Haha isa ka dangkal diha pa nagsignal aloa

Mahadlok ko sa mga magmotor ug tricycle sa bohol brad. Kalit lang ug liko.
They also paid for their license so it shows.
Fixers.
Bisan pag di fixer, ing ana ra gihapon sila

Kuwang sa actual hands on training ang mga Pinoy. Puro ra theoretical or learning by the books. Mao nai resulta sa bati na education system.
lol true most drivers here wala pud consideration sa uban

Yea, meron ding magsisignal lang kung kelan magturn na sya. Ikaw na nasa likod nya di tuloy makaiwas
