I really don't like those drivers who are very careless and I can't really help throwing them an impatient look. They zoom anywhere even at hightraffic areas courting accidents not only for themselves but only for those innocent bystanders. What do you think could be done with those kind of drivers? they should be banned but sadly they are not even reprimanded.

Well it's just a little sad that many Filipino drivers really are quite irresponsible and at the same time, daredevil... I'm in fact surprised that the Pinoys only placed second as Asia's most dangerous drivers... I think they should have been at the number one spot! [LOL]
I think there already are laws established to reprimand and ban such drivers but I think the problem starts at the implementation... Guess nobody's super serious about this issue though it may pose a great danger to the society...
I dont blame you for looking angry at them - I might have just done worse if I were you!!!!

You are right, nobody is taking this issue seriously. About a month ago, I saw 3 disgruntled passengers who beat the driver who drove very fast and didn't heed the passengers complaints about his driving that the 3 passengers thought they just had enough of the driver.

I can't really think of any idea how to better manage these undisciplined drivers. We cannot even depend on our policemen to apprehend these offenders since they, themselves, are dysfunctional and irresponsible.

I think they should be apprehended. Unfortunately, our cops are not conscientious with their duties. Aside from being undisciplined, those drivers are rude too. it's the same thing here in Thailand. There are many reckless drivers but at least they are polite. You don't hear them yelling or saying anything against each other. You will almost never hear them honk even if the car is almost touching your butt. They'll just run slowly and wait for you to give way unless of course when you're crossing the highway or jaywalking.

That is annoying too. One I especially find annoying are those taxis or jeepneys who drives slow and in effect blocking your way while your in the middle crossing the street, in the hope that you will take a ride with them. They should only stop or slow down when hailed. Some would even slow down even if they could see me shaking my head signaling them that I would not take a ride.
