Traffic in Manila has obviously grown really bad in the past few months. Though several concerned citizens have a variety of good and bad suggestions, it all boils down to one thing – FOLLOW TRAFFIC RULES. One reason traffic has gotten from bad to worse is because everyone wants to get ahead of the other, completely ignoring traffic rules. Not only do they make traffic worse, but they can also cause an accident.
One motorist had enough and decided to take matters into his own hand by teaching counterflowing vehicles a lesson. This took place somewhere in Ortigas, near Greenhills.

Though the other cars may have been pissed at Ronaldo for blocking their way, we do think that he did the right thing. Following traffic rules may not immediately fix the traffic situation in Manila, but we’re pretty sure it’s gonna help.

What do guys think of Ronaldo’s actions? Do you agree?

“Counterflowing” should not have been introduced by the traffic-enforcers in the first-place. Because the practice is subject to the enforcers whims most of the time and triggered by nothing more than hand-signals. Now, most drivers have the wrong notion that when they “join”the counterflow “lane”, it was initiated by somebody who is in authority and sees the need to “relieve”the traffic build-up. This is very common occurence in Pasig , going to Cainta. “Road under construction” should be the only reason for counterflow; with proper signs and dedicated enforcers at both ends. And Yes, We as Filipinos fail to show our discipline and education most of the time. Feeling “entitled” and right leads to road rage.
I salute you… I would have done the same thing… and I am a lady driver!
I SALUTE YOU SIR GAZILLIONx!
Hindi lang sa counterflow magaling ang mga pinoy pati na lang sa pagpila, mahilig sumingit at hindi marunong mag isip. Kahit ako may kasama at nagmamadali, pinagsasabihan ko ang kasama ko maging maayos tayo at sumunod sa pila. Ang problema kasi ng iba hindi kayang maging disiplinado
