1) BUSES. I don't get this--they have their own special lanes that private cars can't use, but they still end up hogging the rest of the road! They are bullies, they force their way into overtaking you (leaving you helpless and honking), and they always make karera with each other. Tsk.

2) Drivers who don't use their signal lights. They're there for a reason.

3) Drivers who don't respect pedestrians. Conversely, pedestrians who don't respect vehicle-owners.

4) Say there are 3 lanes. The one on the right end leads to an exit while the two go straight ahead. I hate drivers who use the right lane only to force their way into the middle lane kapag naabutan na nung exit. WTF. It causes traffic for those about to exit AND for those who are going straight. EX: Bicutan Exit along SLEX.

5) Drivers who go suuuuuper slow but when you try to overtake them, they flash you and speed up.

6) JEEPNEYS that stop in the middle of the friggin' road to pick up passengers. Also, commuters na namamara sa gitna rin ng daan. Di naman titigil ang mga yan kung walang pumapara e.

^ i have the same pet peeves.

add ko pa on point # 1:

i saw this sign once on edsa:

private vehicles, gumitna ng lane. wag nang gumitgit, makakarating din tayo.

dapat meron ding ganito:

public vehicles, gumilid ng lane. wag nang dupang, makakarating din tayo.

point #2

agree that turning lights are there for a reason. but not because you have your turning lights on means you can turn! check surrounding traffic also. may iba kasi pag-turn ng steering wheel, sabay tatamaan yung lever for the turning light so parang once lang nag flash yung light tapos lipat na. signal ahead not when you are already turning.

point #4

ay nako! grabe braving the traffic on slex now with skyway construction. this also happens northbound going up the alabang bridge. good na lang they closed the rightmost lane na kasi grabe ang mga bus!

^ OMG, YES. That skyway construction is hellacious. I'm from the south and I work in Makati so I have to endure that everyday. :(

Agree ako sa point mo about using the signal lights 1 second before turning. Dagdag ko din na nakakainis kapag nag signal ka in advance to warn the vehicle on the lane beside you na MALAYO pa, but when they see your blinkers they speed up para di ka makalipat. Argh.

^ i also have to endure the slex traffic everyday. paranaque to alabang and back.

mas grabe pa pag may counterflow yung northbound in the mornings!

what i don't like pala also (para hindi naman OT) are those who don't know how to merge alternately. lalo na soutbound when you enter at bicutan - 3 lanes to 2 lanes by the skyway off-ramp.  >:(

^AGREE. What happens is that when you give way, the next slew of vehicles won't. Kaw na nga yung sumun od at nagbigay, ikaw pa ang inapi. Haaay. Minsan talaga traffic brings out the monster in you e no?

ako I really hate "feeling-VIP" cars with blinking hazards trying to get away from a heavy traffic. lalo na the black heavily tinted ones. as in hindi ko sila pinapasingit. =p

recently, mga jeepneys and tricycles (there are a LOT in the area where i live) na hindi marunong tumabi kapag magsasakay or magbababa ng passengers. yesterday, nasabitan yung car namin ng isang jeepney na alanganin ang pag-pickup ng pasahero. nakikipag-unahan sa kapwa nya jeepney, hindi nya napansin na nasabitan na nya kami. when approached, sila pa yung matatapang. nakakainis sobra! i wonder how these m0r0ns passed their LTO exams!! kahit ayaw mo naman maging matapobre.. ggggrrrrr..  >:(  >:(  >:(

There are those who do not know how to give way. Lalo na sa may intersection tapos hindi naman gumagalaw ang lane nila, humaharang pa.

i agree with all of these, plus:

- at stoplights, the moment the light turns green, they will start honking their horns!
-pag traffic, ayaw pumila.  they will create a counterflow and then force their way into the lane ng mga nakapila!
-at the end of coastal road, the road forks...pa-left ang mga going to las pinas and those headed for cavite go straight. aba, ang mga taga cavite, pati yung pa-left na lane ino-occupy, but they are not turning left naman! nakabara lang sila dun, making it difficult for those turning left to pass kasi nga nakaharang silang lahat, creating 2 additonal lanes! tapos sisingit sila dun sa mga nakapila going to cavite!  kaya buhol buhol ang traffic because of them!!!

and also, whoever invented the "counterflow" is a MORON!  yung mga traffic enforcers na nag iimplement nito, di nag iisip!  sometimes i am stuck inside my village for 15 damn minutes dahil they have a counterflow sa labas and they only have the southbound vehicles pass! paano kung may emergency?

same goes for coastal road.  in the mornings, i go the opposite way (southbound) than most people. naturingang highway with toll fees, but at the end, boom! FULL STOP ka for up to 30 minutes (seriously!). ang nakakainis nyan, even if you leave early, malelate ka rin dahil sa counterflow.  it makes travel time terribly unpredictable.

1. Mga barumbadong jeeps at mga naka-motor na saksakan ng yabang. Meron ding naka-motor na nakiki-traffic pa samantalang pwede naman sila umusad kagad. Hello, kaya nga naka-motor eh, tapos pampadagdag pa sa haba ng traffic.

2. Mga taong makukulit na tawid ng tawid na hinde natatakot mamatay. Sarap sagasaan talaga.

3. Mga hinde nagsi-signal light tapos biglang mang-aagaw ng lane.

at an intersection, mga kotse/motorbike na bigla nalang mag co-cross na alanganin while you are going at a speed na mabilis; hindi makahintay ng tamang timing.  tapos pag nakatawid na, babagal bagal naman.  haay.

I really hate yung mga naka motor na singit ng singit. minsan kasi bigla na lang sila sumusulpot porke maliit lang sila.

I second that.

^^ True. Magugulat ka na lang pag liliko ka may sisingit bigla. Pag sila naman ang nabangga, ikaw pa may kasalanan.

Mga hindi nagsi-signal lights.

Mga hindi sumusunod sa traffic lights porke madaling araw na at wala masyadong sasakyan.
