The Hand Signal

I just noticed that drivers in the Philippines really takes the meaning of using hand signals to heart.

Everyday, I encounter taxi drivers, truck drivers, private car drivers rolling down windows and literally using their hand to turn... Man, that's what signal lights are for. If you deny them the turn they will be pissed at you and you can see them cussin' at you and stuff... Where the hell in world did it state that if you wave your hand out the vehicle people should just stop and drop everything to let you pass....

Tricycle drivers and motorcycle drivers are the worst... Instead of using hand since it's occupied.. they use their feet.. they kick in the air before turning...

Motorcycle drivers can't even wait for the traffic lights... They have to squirm to the first lane while the light is red and as soon as the light turns green.. They all speed up so slow... I don't get it... Then when driving on the road.. they like to take a whole lane during traffic they squeeze in the middle lane.. and they take u turns on pedestrian lane... And we have a stupid law that the car driver is always at fault when you hit a motorcycle or a pedestrian even if they are jaywalking...

As they say, if you can drive in Manila, you can drive anywhere else...
