The Sub genuses of Filipino Traffic Violators este Drivers

If you are a Filipino driver, or if you at least drive on Phillipine soil on a daily basis then chances are you probably belong to one or more of these genres. Filipinos are very extreme drivers, they are either fast or slow, reckless or overly cautious, sharp or imperceptive. I'm usually on the road about a third to half of my waking hours hence I'm always aggravated, exasperated and/ or fuming mad. It's largely due to one or more factors namely: traffic, heat, MMDA, the pitiable state of our roads, and if you're a woman, PMS. So tell me, which one are you???


The Tailgater A.K.A. Tutok na tutok magmaneho

Probable causes:
OCD (Obssessive Compulsive Disorder) (singit ng singit)
Fear of getting left behind
an egotistical nature (swapang)
greed (ayaw magpasingit)

Demographic:
Public utility vehicles - 80%/ Private vehicles - 20%
Male - 80%/ Female - 20%

Most public utility drivers, if not all, belong in this category. Beware of the tailgater kung ayaw mo masundot.


The Serpent A.K.A. Parang ahas magmaneho, kaskasero/a

Probable causes:
ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder)
a choleric personality
diarrhea
genitourinary problems

Demographic:
PUV -80%/ Private - 20%
Male - 90%/ Female - 10%

Always in a rush, they are always dashing towards their destination. For some reason, their feet are magnetized by the gas pedal, hence most serpents are also speed freaks. Beware of the serpent unless you want your car to get bitten, I mean, damaged.


The Slowpoke A.K.A. pagkabagal bagal magmaneho, istorbo sa kalsada

Probable causes:
a phlegmatic personality
moderate to severe depression
old age

Demographic:
PUV - 20%/ Private - 80%
Male - 20%/ Female - 80%

Unlike the serpent, they drive at tortoiselike speeds. Avoid the serpent at all cost unless you want to miss an appointment by a full hour or two.


The Moron, Idiot, Imbecile, Birdbrain A.K.A. eng eng, engot, bopols, shungak

Probable causes:
ignorance
stupidity

Demographic:
PUV - 30%/ Private - 70%
Male - 20%/ Female - 80%

These are the clueless of the bunch. For some reason, they stop, look, and listen right smack in the middle of the highway or road. Other times, they are turning left on the next alley but are still on the extreme right of the road, or vise versa. My advice, I really have none as there is no known cure for ignorance nor stupidity.


The Newbie A.K.A. ang bagito

Probable causes:
Duh, bagito nga eh

Demographic:
PUV - 50%/ Private - 50%
male - 50%/ Female - 50%

Driving is a skill, practice more. Need I say more?


I'm admittedly a cross between a tailgater and a serpent. What can I do, I'm OC and I have ADD. kainis

So tell me peeps, which one are you??? Aminin
