Hello Lotters, Who would hate it! going home in the middle of all that traffic then the car has trouble being stable because it was exposed to too much heat. Originally, we were supposed to be pick up by a tricycle driver. My mom decided to have my other brother will take us home instead with lots of stuff that we have including the tent. the trouble started when his car started overheating. luckily, we got home and the car didn't fail us even though we didn't have lights, or no cops to arrest us because we didn't have lights during the car use. but they had to leave things and commuted as they went home. they got back today, fix the car and left.

There are much deaths recorded each day because of road accidents. If we opt to be reckless, we opt to risk our lives. Better to do vehicles pre-start checking that risk.

Hello Danzylop, the problem was that they went to another cemetery on hi wife's side. some how the car had trouble with it's radiator, and some circuits that got grounded. I don't think it was reckless, but we had to get home faster to be avoided being caught by cops or traffic enforcers.

Traffic is expected during these times. Everyone went to the cemeteries and it is a long-awaited event

Hello mimiang, I know i was expecting it, but i wasn't expecting the car to go broke. we should have taken the molino blvd when we had the chance, we are stuck in the road at that time. next time we would take the tricycle instead because the guy only asked a few cents.

It's a good thing the engine didn't stall. That would have been so inconvenient not only to you and your family, but also to the others driving behind your car. Glad to hear that you got home safely. I could imagine your feeling of relief. I mean, driving without lights and with an engine about to overheat can really stress anybody up.

Hello Beamer, Yeah that would have been really inconvenient! but what's more inconvenient was the jeepneys who kept getting more and more passengers while a barker calls to them all the time. one of us shouted at them and they were stop, so funny because the barker walk off the sidewalk while the driver was forced to drive away hehehe.

I guess it's time for your brother to buy a new one. There's too much trouble when things happens like that. Besides, your brother is spending a lot of money for car repairs- so better to have a new one

Hello Jaihosis, this happened to my middle elder sibling, it's just exposure to too much heat that caused the overheating. my eldest brother is the one spending a bit much.however, at least he is safe in his old car than buying new and risk getting carnapped and hold uphe doesn't have money and there's no way he'll take another loan

That's too bad being stuck in a heavy traffic plus an overheating car Good thing you arrived home safely. Special holidays like these really are causing heavy traffic because people goes home to their provinces and streets going to the cemetery are also jump pack. Well, at least it went out good after all the misfortunes.

Hello Gaiza, there was a short cut but i guess they should have taken it to prevent that traffic. but at least we were there to help them because if we weren't there, they would have been calling us at home. well, despite of the stress, we were able to go home with out a problem.

Oh, it's really sucks to have car trouble in the midst of a traffic. Hubby has a motorcycle which is very helpful for us to avoid traffic. But I definitely would like to buy a car because the motorbike couldn't cater three people in it. And its hard to travel far places with a motorbike. I'm happy that you'll able to make it home safe and sound.

Hello leeandrew, I don't think it's safe to ride three people in the bike, what happens if the bike can't take it or simply tumble if you forgot to avoid a ramp. the car isn't that old but i guess they should have it upgraded and customized some how.yes, we made it back home safe with out being spotted by cops and traffic aides

Well at least you got home safe and sound without lights as you have said. We just walk going home since we are quite near in the cemetery. I also have so many cousins to walk with. Usual, elders will ride tricycle to avoid getting tired of walking lol.

Hello Ardoy, I didn't mind walking but we had a lot of stuff to bring, specially that huge darn tent that we used. but I did tried to walk it out it was too darn far away even at my standards. but if we did wait for the tricycle then we would have come home early but my brother wouldn't.

Hi friend, it is really hard to reach the home, if we are surrounded with huge traffic. I faced this kind of issues several times. Good to know you solved your issues and reach your home safely

Hello Vidhyaprakash, I don't mind the huge and terrifying traffic. what I hate more is that freaking car of his going nuts every time it stays long in the traffic. I don't mind if am commuting either as long as the car is working for some reason. but maybe we were blessed being in that car, otherwise, they never would have reach home.
