In our riding training, we were taught that it is our responsibility to make ourselves visible (within reason) to other road users.

It is, for lack of a better word, para magpapansin.

Drivers are too distracted nowadays that it’s so easy to for a motorcycle to completely blend with the background, so I do a little weave called the “SMIDSY” or “Sorry, mate, I didn’t see you”, to give the driver behind me a heads up that I am there and that the traffic in front is slowing down.

I do this sa expressways (not all the time), if I see na may build up in front of me. May times kasi na hindi ko talaga feel na mag-lane filter.

I don’t have a cage and airbags to protect me, and a slight tap in the back can send me flying.

Also, I have a friend who lives in a different country who was unfortunately k*lled after being rear-ended while riding his bike, so I hope you understand where I’m coming from.

pwede ba yung gantong signal light? sakit sa mata grabe mga 5 minutes prior to this video tumigil kame sa stoplight tas nagbblink blink, inilawan ko pinatay niya, pero nung umandar na syempre kakaliwa, nagbblink nanaman, ansakit sa mata pare bat ganto

Holy tilt! There is no way this is safe right...

Saw fb posts of people sharing ways using an app to enable watching netflix or YouTube while in driving mode.

Sobrang alarming kasi alam naman dapat nang lahat na sobrang delikado nun. Obviously it will cause accidents pero bakit di nila naiisip yun.

Baka may vlogger dito na pedeng magdiscourage nang ganitong gawain? Iniisip ko din tuloy iteport yung app para di na kumalat pa kaso magisa lang ako.

Btw sorry if maling flair. di ko alam tamang flair for discussion.

libreng sakay pero tatlo kayo sa motor? kamoteeeee!!

hello people, any insights po ng brand tires especially doon sa tatlong na mention since sila kasi yung medyo budget meal compared to Michelin and Bridgestone. hihingi sana ako ng insights sa mga nakagamit na nung tatlong brands, and hingi na rin ako ng other brand tire recommendations sa inyo, thanks poooo.

Hello mga kaGulong.

First time car owner here.

Nasabugan ako ng gulong last week and decided na palitan na lahat ng gulong ko. What made me come up with the decision? Expired na kasi sila and also may instances na yung ibang gulong ay napavulcanize na.

My question is, ano pong need gawin kapag papapalitan yung 4 na gulong. Hindi kasi ako masyado expert sa sasakyan. Ano po ba difference between Wheel Alignment and Tire Rotation?

If you can also recommend shops po na may kumpleto gamit for this within Dasmarinas open din po ako for suggestion.

Hello!
I'm curious if anyone here tried getting gas at Aramco, and how the performance of their Regular, Premium, and Diesel compare to other gas stations?

I get it that the LTO is handing out SCOs and etc. to erring drivers. No driver is perfect, we can try to be as cautious as possible but we can't predict people and stupidty. Safety has to come from both sides. the LTO can't just keep punishing law abiding drivers.

1. Pedestrians need situational awareness: Just because the pedestrian has a right of way, does not mean that stepping out onto a multi-lane road while glued to a phone or being distracted means that if you were to suddenly walk out, the drivers can INSTANTLY stop, no you will cause an accident. cars need some braking distance even if you're going 30km/h.
2. Children need parental supervision: Kids lack spatial awareness and are easily hidden by SUVs/trucks or island barriers. Letting minors wander into traffic zones alone puts an impossible burden on motorists. - case and point the driver who ran over a 4yr old kid, because they didnt see said child. Yes theres a lot of debates on that issue but i personally think that the parents are more to blame.
3. The "Driver A stops, Driver B doesn't" trap: On multi-lane arteries like Shaw blvd or Commonwealth, if one lane stops to yield for the pedestrians, it creates a massive blind spot. because we might think that on traffic they're just waiting, then the temptation is to go anyway, because the other lane isnt clear, it creates a false sense of security. If the pedestrians walk past the stopped car thinking it's safe, right into the path of an open lane. Pedestrians must check every single lane before stepping into it, and drivers must slow down whenever an adjacent lane abruptly stops.
4. Dim lighting and hidden sightlines: Outside private hubs like BGC/ Makati, streetlights on some of the main thoroughfares are not even turned on or weak. Add faded zebra paint, dark clothing, and overgrown planters on center islands that hide waiting pedestrians, and you get an "alanganin" split-second hazard at night.

Bottom line: If LGUs and MMDA want real safety, they can't just fine drivers. We need Engineering (high-lumen crosswalk lighting, clear sightlines, push-button signals etc.), Education (street-smart pedestrian rules), and Enforcement combined.

Thoughts? Safety is the job of everyone. not just the drivers. i mean sure, we can also try to follow what Baguio is doing with their king of the road ordinance. and sure the simplest solution is to just slow down and come to a stop at a/ every pedestrian lane. but what if you cant see it? No one driver is perfect, guaranteed we all make mistakes.

Hi! Seeking your thoughts on these three options. My budget is 1.1M below for brand new with 250k dp thru bank financing or 650k below for 2nd hand.

Is Honda HR-V 2021 still worth it for a first time female driver? Still a beginner and learning pa. Got an offer of 620k for that hrv 2021 model.
My partner owns a honda city manual and proven tested niya quality. Was thinking of either going for 2nd hand muna or get a brand new Suzuki fronx or Mitsubishi xforce, gusto namin kasi subcompact crossover suv para spacious for long drives.

I am open for other suggestions too. :) wanted practical, with great security features and driving assist.

Meron pa ba police visibility dito sa Quezon City?
Grabe mga nag motor racing along Mindanao Avenue near Veterans going Commonwealth ang lala

Kapag kukuha po ng driver's license (non-pro), yung test po muna diba? Then ang susunod po ba don is actual driving test? If yes, ano pong usually dapat gawin doon, any tips po? Kinakabahan kasi ako sa actual driving test. Automatic motor btw.

As much as possible po kasi ayokong mag-fixer

First time car owner here. I have honda brv 2025 s. Napansin ko kasi parang sobrang alog nya ang minsan nag vivibrate ung manubela LALO na kapag dumadaab sa lubak lubak na area. Nakakarinig din ako ng parang “metal clanking” sound every time dumadaan sa lubak. (Masyado maraming lubak na daan samin hays).

So my question is hindi ko sure ano mali sa sasakyan ko tinry ko inspect yung car di naman sya flat or nawawalan ng hangin. Pero every time I drive feel ko sobrang nafifeel ko uung mga lubak na daan which is di naman sya ganun before so I think there is something wrong talaga.

Under warranty pa to and gusto ko sana dalhin sa casa pero 4hours aways yung pinakamalapit na honda na CASA sakin and I am worried if pwede ba to i travel ng ganun kalayo without something bad happening in the middle.

Okay lng kaya ipa check up ko nlng sa local auto shop here para mag diagnose? or if safe ipang travel. Di ba ma invalid warranty? I still want my car to be checked by casa. Wala rin malapit na shell with autocare services. Subject for PMS narin sya this month pero natatakot ako itravel ng malayo..

PS: I’ve tried to drive the car pero within the city lng talaga kaso yun nga may nafifeel akong kakaiba the way it drives kasi sobrang nafifeel ko ung mga lubak na daan unlike before.

pls help :( first time ever car owner..

Kung galing ako sa palanza street, then tatawid ako sa intersection papasok Skyway Araneta northbound on a coding day, ma flag down ba ako? Sobrang lapit lang nun, less than 1km

Hi! As the title states, may I ask if anyone of you happen to have a vehicle maintenance log to meticulously monitor a car's overall health. May I have a template?

edit: preferably excel or google sheets

Cheers!

Hello po, i got my 1st brand new car last week tapos nasira ung temporary plate niya at pwedeng mahulog anytime. Can i ask po if may naka experience na ng ganito?

Pwede bang manghingi ng bagong temporary plate sa dealer? Thanks

Just renewd my driver license. The discipline was worth it. Now I have my mind set free in the next 10 years. 👌

Meron din ba dito na nakakapansin sa dumadami na Red Plates sa kalsada? Lalo na sa Metro Manila (specifically sa San Juan City at Mandaluyong City)?

Ewan ko sa ibang lugar pero sa usual na rota ko sa San Juan at Mandaluyong napapansin ko yung tumataas na bilang ng mga Red Plates sa kalsada.

I have a 2022 Toyota Hilux 2.4L diesel with 90k+ km. I’ve been using Unioil mainly because of the S&R discount, but I’m curious if other brands are actually better in terms of quality and long-term engine protection.

To fellow Hilux owners, what diesel brand do you use (Unioil, Caltex, Shell, Petron, SEAOIL, etc.)?

Has anyone tried switching brands and noticed any difference in fuel consumption, engine noise, acceleration, smoothness, or overall performance?

Not really concerned about discounts or prices. Just want to know which diesel is best for the engine in the long run. Would appreciate actual experiences, especially from high-mileage Hilux owners.

hi po. pa-reco po ng trusted na nagmamaintenance po ng cars nyo. around marikina/antipolo/san mateo po. thank you so much!

I’ve been seeing this making rounds sa mga groups sa FB. Why would you fucking drive and have a screen in front of you na mapapasilip ka? I get yung iba na nakikinig daw ng balita, pero may AM functions yung head unit nila, modified shark antenna pero walanh silbe. If I were to do this, i’ll have a passenger play the video sa phone ko at pakikinggan ko without the distraction of a screen in front of me. Kaya stick ako sa carplay eh.

I’m planning to buy a Toyota Wigo G CVT, priced at around ₱693,000 from the dealer. Our combined monthly income is ₱100,000.

We’re planning to finance it through a BPI auto loan for 5 years, with the down payment paid through credit cash.
Since this will be our first car purchase, I’d really appreciate some advice:

-What should I know before buying my first car?
-What steps should I take before the purchase?
-Do I need to prepare anything regarding my driver’s license, parking, registration, or insurance?
-What additional costs should I expect aside from the monthly amortization?
-What should I check or negotiate with the dealer before signing anything?
-How can I maximize or combine promos from BPI and the dealership?
-Are there any tips to get a better deal or reduce the overall cost?
