Arrest them all!
Last time I checked, there are no bus-driving schools anywhere in the country. And you need a professional license restriction 6 at least to drive those mothers. The only logical answer is that they first tried it out on the streets along with all of us.
Have you ever seen a student bus driver with a licensed instructor riding shotgun? No? So they did it, no instructors, beside you in EDSA.
No wonder these maniacs drive the way they do. They are all unschooled amateurs. I say, arrest them all, guilty after the fact.
And oh, those jeepneys, ever see one with a working speedometer? Impound them all.
hahaha. I remember when we used to have a bus. I was only beginning to learn how to drive a car. Our bus driver let me drive it back and forth but no more. I didn't even get to turn the wheel. Anyhow, I have seen these bus drivers do amazing things. Galing sa isang main street, sabay pasok sa isang eskinita. ang allowance on either side is less than half an inch. I swear it's true. At eto ang malupit, lubak-lubak yung eskinita pero di nagka-scratch yung bus. So nagtravel sha sa eskinita for about five minutes. and then later on. inatras nya palabas the same eskinita ng patalikod. Damn. I get a bit panicky whenever I try to backpark my car.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah. I myself have been looking for that legend: The jeepney driver with a working speedometer. Ahaha.
The jeepney with the working speedometer is an urban legend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I watch bus drivers and notice that they need to move the steering wheel a third way around before any reaction to the steering happens. Does this stop them from driving these mothers at speeds of up to mach 3? No. Now you know why I pray a lot. Lol.
Dude, I have seen a jeepney with a working speedometer. Kaso bata pa yata ako nun. Jeep pa ng pinsan ko. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteNgayon, since pinagsawaan na niya at ibinenta, malamang sira na rin speedometer. hehehe.
Yun namang sa mga bus drivers, magagaling talaga mga yan... pero wag na wag mong pahahawakin ng maliit na sasakyan at malamang mabunggo. hehehe. Sanay sa malaki.

Dude, dito sa bandang amin, mas malaking problema mga naka motor. Ayos lang ba kung mag post ako ng mga link sa youtube dito? Kaso not for the faint of heart... and stomach.
Go for it. But do write the warning to go with it. I don't think I can watch it. I have a weak stomach for such things. Talagang bumabaon sa utak ko eh. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do I post Youtube links here? or do I just post the url?
ReplyDelete...
I'll just post the URL para di mapwersa mga faint of stomach. Hehehe.
