BAD or No Manner Drivers. What do you think about them?

I myself drive everyday to school and to go around. But, I try to have decency and courtesy when I drive. Today, I got so pissed at multiple drivers. They do not seem to be courteous enough to stop for pedestrians trying to pass at the ped walk. And they do not seem to to care about them? Do you guys have any experience with these kind of drivers?

Me too. I really get so irritated with drivers who have no discipline. Most are public transport drivers, but there are other drivers too who are very rude and brusque on the road. Like what my husband says, they do not deserve to be given their driving licenses.

Yup, I feel that way too. I do not really know why they are such disrespectful people. Most, taxi drivers too. They seem to feel they are king of the road.

I get so frustrated, but I'm a passive driver, so I really don't do anything if they cut me off or something. I remember I was waiting at a traffic light, in a lane where you can either turn right or go straight, but I was going straight, and some lady was mad that I wasn't turning, so she started calling me names (I had my windows open). She called me very vicious nasty insults, so I just closed my windows and ignored her. I was so upset that someone could be that rude.

yes a lot of experience about that well as I notice most of them are too show-off they think they are the best driver in the world. I also hate those drivers mostly those jeepney driver most of them can't accept that some jeep pass them and all they do is try to pass also those jeep so the result is some accident. I experience it when I take a ride on a jeep in C5 road, almost all the passenger get angry with that show-off nothing driver, he try to pass all the car in his way and laugh with his accompany luckily we didn't got accident that time. I also experience it in edsa I was riding on the bus and I was in front area the driver is like playing only a video game. even in placing his bus on the loading area he manipulate his bus like video game.

Yup, I also have tried that. They seem to care less about their passengers and people crossing and also other motorists.

this is everywhere. at times i get upset because of rude drivers. they act like they own the road. there are a lot of incidents where a driver wouldn't stop at a ped, even if there are older people or children crossing. what i hate the most is honking. i do not really appreciate being honked at. it is the rudest thing you can do to a person who is on the road. honking is for vehicles only, not persons. there was a time when my sister's car stopped in the middle of the road. the drivers next to her gave her hard time by saying bad things like blame and cuss. she was just new to driving then. she felt bad because instead of helping or assisting her, esp she's a lady, these guy driver would act like uneducated men. it wasn't her fault that something wrong went on with the machine. i just hope it would be part of traffic rules to be polite especially vehicles can cause one's life. vehicles + heightened emotion may mean accident.

I know these situations. Once, I really wanted to follow the driver. But, I decided not to because I was stooping down to their level. Public drivers are not courteous in my opinion. I really hope they fix this problem with public transportation.

Oh yes!Now a days,we can see a lot of drivers like that.they don't have the patience and don't abide by the traffic rules.They just don't respect others and think that they too have the same rights on road as they have.The government should penalize such drivers and media should bring an awareness on this issue.

Yeah! This happened to me multiple times. I was turning and this taxi driver came out of now where which almost hit my car. I was so mad. I wanted to find the person. Also today, I was just walking to the post office to send some mail. What happened was I was crossing the pedestrian walk and he did not even stop. No manners right?
