Is there no place we can drive safely anymore?
Just recently, a video of a bus running along SLEX forcefully pressing a car towards the barriers along SLEX has been making it’s rounds on social media.
As seen in the video, the car was running along the fast lane of SLEX when the bus beside it forced its way into the lane, prompting the car to move towards the barrier.
According to the uploader, he was running 100kph in the video, which is the maximum speed limit on the expressway for cars.
This is just among the many reports of reckless and discourteous bus drivers plying Philippine roads, causing many accidents and massive traffic problems.
Here’s the video:

What would you have done if you were in his situation? How do you think we can reduce reckless drivers on the road?
Steeper fines for the bus operators, suspension of license of the bus driver and suspension of operation of the bus for a week. Lalo na yan may evidence naman to support other motorists’ complaints.
Napikon yung bus driver sa iyo.
1) you are creating a very dangerous situation. you cruise only 40 to 60 kph on a lane that is for overtaking lane only.
2) The bus driver gives you ample time to use your “common sense” to speed up or transfer to the right side or on slow lane.
3) you are blocking the over taking lane.
umalis ka kasi sa overtaking lane…ehh ambagal bagal mo..istorbo ka sa kalye..kaya tinuruan ka ng leksyon ng bus driver dahil nanay or tatay mo di ka tinuturuan ng leksyon.
Yun din ba yung ba yung bus na naka-hazard na sa 1:04?
I think yung mirage, willing to give statement against the bus driver since huminto din sya sa harap ng concerned motorist. Dapat bigyan ng leksyon yang mga yan. Tsk tsk.
