[1Mussalman]

Hold on a minute. I saw persons crossing at the zebra crossing but vehicles continued on - what's that all about?Lol

[J1522N]

[MsGrissly]

[TheBEATLESMania100n2]

Yes I fucking know how it is there. As a citezen of my own country

[maxisacrace]

the traffic rules are merely suggestions!

[larzvegas89122]

What are you guys talking about theres is no traffic laws in the phillipines? of course there is law everywhere, people just choose to ignore it, like this person shooting this video, changing lane left and right sometime three lanes at a time, never gave a pedestrian the right of way on the crosswalk, I am pretty sure he never use his turn signal too.

[chrisvutube]

@larzvegas89122 mate, you are only seeing through what the video camera could see. FYI, I always use the indicator. I am a defensive driver, how do you think I can manage to changes lanes, and lets say 3 in a row & not "three at a time" like you say. Maybe bcoz I had already planned my route by reading the traffic ahead, behind and around me, otherwise you would see me drive, stop, change lanes, then drive, stop & change lanes again. Being able to drive and licensed is a privilage, not a right.

This must be some time on New Years Day or maybe Good Friday.. *o_O

[meimeicebuana]

I haven't been back to PI in like ten years straight an it's true almost all Filipinos just pay for the license but hey lovin the thrill!!!

No broken lines or any lines like in US, no traffic light rules or stop signs, or speed limit, and the pedestrian lines are not even noticeable. Geez but I remember when I was lil I had fun and I love the Manila and Cebu. I miss Pinas so much.

[jayr122001]

I MISS GHETTO MANILA WHOOO

[leekar01]

i know right. there just one thing we consider for driving in Phil.

THERES NO RULE!!!

[NordicBlood84]

This is not real, I've been there and traffic and pedestrians are out of this world crazy. This must be an early morning Sunday drive.

[allthegreat17]

anung problema ng user sa baba ko, kinakausap ko ba siya??? eager for validation si kumag. lolz

[shithappens17]

dude...there are pretty much no traffic lanes O_o

[kazzywabbit]

Was in Philippines for 10 months I bought a motorbike that's the way to get around especially during rush hour. I love the Philippines one day will return and stay for good.

[allthegreat17]

90% of Philippine drivers did not take the driving examination for driver's license. They just paid the FIXERS extra money.

So what you see in the philippine streets are ignorant drivers who will kill for their RIGHT OF WAY.

WAW, is this what you call pinoy pride?

[vixensue018]

@allthegreat17 filipino drivers rule... we take examinations or not, we born having steering wheel and 3 pedals. >inborn< lols

[allthegreat17]

@vixensue018 you know what, tama ka!

[chrisvutube]

@vixensue018 , I obtained my driving License in Western Australia. Driving in Manila definitely made me a better driver... and yes we are born to drive -- manual!

[6202ken]

@allthegreat17 how did you know ? u just sterotyping pinoy drivers.

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 and what is your source in getting that "90%" figure? Intuition?

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 how many LTO branches are there in the country? 8?9? 10?

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 wow...you even take pride that you worked in the LTO for 15 years and know how corrupted that dept is! Have you done something to diminish that corruption you're talking about? Pinabayaan mo lang ba ang mga katrabaho mong tiwali na magpatuloy sa mga maling gawain? If yes, you yourself must have been a reason why the LTO reamains corrupted

.

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 hindi, kung gusto mo talagang umayos ang Pilipinas sana gumawa ka ng mga hakbang para malinis ang mga LTO branches na pinagtrabahuan mo. Gago di umuunlad ang LTO dahil sa mga NAGBUBULAG-BULAGANG kagaya mo!

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 puro salita at reklamo, wala naman palang nagawa!

[jmdarcega]

@allthegreat17 tsk tsk. nagsalita ang may nagawa. lol. 

[bohol201010]

imbeciles do exist in the philippines.

[bohol201010]

it's a mad place to drive. one would thought that drivers,pedestrian, all the more the government were a bunch of imbeciles.

[beckylovejaejoong]

lol... why there's line in the street if no one keep there line ... im moving to Phil. soon and I wont drive for sure and close my eyes everytime I up in a car lol... but im sure im gonna get use to it... no light.. no stop sign no nothing lol cant wait to see that :D

[hashytaka]

is there any point in taking a driving test in the philippines???? cuz driving doesnt seem all that hard in my opinion, its just the rules of the road that you have to follow that makes things more complicated for the person who's driving....

[pontakunxii]

Hah!! every road in the Philippines is a race track, so no need to find a race track here. Mas masaya dito may thrill!!!

[ameredon1]

in manila theres no such thing as rules of the road ,there is no road signs every junction ,,drive as u please

[poofkaboom]

@ameredon1 there are rules lol but no one is forcing them

[johnnicholecanto]

@ameredon1 

[111i1011]

Philippine like Korean cars.

0:20 Hyundai

[mcbong10]

Driving in the philippines is fine...In vietnam,India etc.are much worst

[joseft30]

buti binawal na ang wang wang kasi kung may wang wang ang tagal tapos ingay pa nila ang pinaka ayaw ko pag hindi ka umurong kakabugin nila sasakyan mo

[nitemagyk]

You mean the streets of Quezon City starting from the Scout-scout area, to Quezon Avenue to the Quezon Circle and on to Commonwealth. Pretty light traffic! I'm writing this from Indonesia and now I appreciate the "light traffic" back home.

[hushpuppyblue05]

that is my route.. lol.. i love driving in commonwealth ave. especially at 1 am.. hehehe...

[bartboucher]

Manila is such a beautiful place, even the traffic seems like a dance, a very aggressive, scary, dangerous dance, at 50kph. Can’t wait to go back;-)

[databus64]

Good job. What day of the week was this taken? Seems everything was traffic free! -- Where is the microphone of your OREGON camera? Mounted physically on the cam? With the wind blowing on the mic, you got some serious audio problems.

[chrisvutube]

@databus64 , I cannot remember what day it was taken but it was definitely not during peak hours... The OREGON was mounted on the window frame of the driver's door and the mic is built in.

[twistedlekyam]

mas maganda pa daan natin dyan....punta kayo dominican republic...8x na ako naka punta...hindi nga nirerespito and traffic light...i dont know why were still part of 3rd world country...in everyehere is worst!!!!mabuhay pilipinas....

[freebiehabercom]

no directional? scary

[Andre89W]

I moved here from India and heard people complaining about how crazy traffic is in Manila...

Come to India, guys!!! Then you will know that REAL insane driving looks like!

[TehShush]

@Andre89W This isn't really the worst of it... I recall when I was in Cebu, there was a three lane area with 5 lanes of traffic, we had to drive on the sidewalk to get around the people going the opposite direction on our street. ^^;

[biscuitsandgravyson]

the guy running across the highway at 3:55 is crazy bwhahahahahha

[Kakashi101sensi]

Sorry there are actually some but not really paid attention to lol...

[Kakashi101sensi]

Notice no street lines broken or unbroken.... Lol a ten year old can drive there if they can touch the pedal.

[stumpy95]

This is a nice drive but not the real deal. Get in there at Makati, Ortigas, the Fort, U.N. Ave, EDSA, Greenbelt, etc... Get the shots of what I call a symphony of traffic.

[cybiria2000]

only the expressways have speed limits.

i drive manila streets since 1989 and am a street space filler(i veer toward the open space)and not a single scratch on any car that i drove. many countries have strict speed limit laws but they have the most pile ups!

[djveins]

hey ahhmeansyes you suck

[301SO]

my uncle from britain said this after his visit to manila "If you can drive here, you can drive anywhere"

[franzken]

yup our streets are crazy... they are all pro drivers..

[KenanVideos]

Lol drive through a market or something

[Ahhmeansyes]

5 things i hate about philippines:

1. Jaywalking

2. No pedestrian

3. Not enough traffics lights

4. Speeding

Last but not the least: corrupt government officials >=(

[valenzuela]

@Ahhmeansyes so true

[AustralianWolf11]

@Ahhmeansyes thats Philippines for ya :) als filipinos can't be fucked to bother with the traffic lights :P

[psychoninja911]

@Ahhmeansyes Ok.

All of those things, and there's still probably fewer accidents than an American state.

My friends Andre and Romel tell me they drove in the Philippines WITHOUT brakes on their cars. People there drive good, because they don't all have insurance to fall back on. When they get in the car, they get in to drive.

When they cross the street, they know the danger that awaits, so they don't cross the street while texting on their stupid cell phone.

I'd love to move there, even white.

[phamznparke]

@Ahhmeansyes

1. Jaywalking without penalty

2. If there's pedestrian lanes, people wont be using it anyway, they'll cross everywhere they want to

3. Traffic Lights that are not working right.. worst, broken and useless

4. Speeding -and slowing down in the middle of the road to pick up or unload passengers

5. Corrupt Government plus Ignorant Voters = more disaster

[skah07]

@phamznparke number 5 . the voters are selling their vote for only 500 pesos or 1 plastic of grocery .. in exchange of their future.

[phamznparke]

@skah07 youre right. the same people who whine about corruption are the ones who voted them in for a 100 pesos to buy some tanduay. lol

[skah07]

@phamznparke yeah people are judging those corrupt official but who voted them ..

[cheriko14]

pare balik ka! balik ka sa quezon ave..pick up tayo...hahah

[yoguey]

you're the only one who seems to have no coutesy towards pedestrians crossing at cross walks. you are complaining? when you contributing to that

[dhrk2k7]

holiday kaya walang trapik ano?

[96radster]
