What is it with drivers of public transportation in the Philippines nowadays? Those alleged “kings of the roads” who tyrannically act as if they really do own every bit of street their tires touch.
If you drive almost every day of your life, you’d probably understand what the hell I’m talking about and you might even agree.
Pedestrians as well could attest to these experiences.
Have you ever been cut off by a speeding cab? Have you ever had the experience of almost being sideswiped by a jeepney? Have you ever been involved in an accident with these lower life forms? Hopefully not, but chances are your answer will be yes to all of these questions. Why do we tolerate this?
What are these unruly, undisciplined, reckless, (bleep! bleep!) drivers doing on our streets. Why are they allowed to do such despicable acts of rudeness and total disrespect for other drivers, not to mention pedestrians? It may have been ok if one or two do such. After all, there’s always one or even a couple of bad apples in a group. But the fact of the matter is, all of them are this way. I guarantee that there are no exceptions to this allegation.
I used to say “squatter kasi, kaya squatter din ang ugali.” It’s a bit judgmental but it’s the truth. I just don’t get how these drivers could do such things and then after a few seconds act as if nothing had happened and worse, get away with it.
It’s in their blood I guess. These people were probably born lacking a gene that codes for respect for other people including pedestrians and other drivers alike. On the other hand, hours, days, months or more likely years of driving may have shaken up their brain cells too much making them totally incapable of realizing that they could hurt people with their reckless driving; and most of the time, they actually do. Or maybe they’ve got mush for brains in the first place.
However unfortunate their situation may be, these idiots should not be allowed to roam our streets.
Why are the police and traffic enforcers not doing anything about this? They are probably asleep in some shaded area or simply keeping their eyes on some private vehicle and waiting for him to commit a traffic violation. And traffic violations mean extra money in the pockets of these jerks. Or they may tell you, no harm was done anyway. It was a near miss after all. Stupid people! Well that’s another story.
What does it take to get a driver’s license nowadays anyway? Don’t they get to be tested if they are psychologically sound or sane enough to drive? Well in my opinion, they should. You might as well throw in a crash course on road courtesy while you’re at it.
…Another reason to be proud of the Philippines huh!? (with sarcasm on top)
…Another reason why I can’t wait to get out of the Philippines…
