Traffic lights coming to Dgte soon

I will never trust any traffic light in the Philippines, I observe even foreigner start to drive like idiots, sorry to admit my self included, from time to time when you feel enough is enough. Dashcam is necessary today if you want a chance to prove anything in court

 

Just a point of curiosity, not a correction. A few years ago I had dinner with an LTO that does that job for a living. He called himself a Traffic Conductor.

True but. Fight the battles you can win & one problem at a time. It would nice if the money would go were it is needed most but if it gets the hard headed offenders off the road then I say do it.

I admit I drive with an NFL football mentality. The best defense is a good offense. But if they took my vehicle I'd probably change.

 

I am guessing correctly that had your gf NOT been there you might have filled the cutie up?

 

I don't think the poster was being nasty about unfortunate people but stating his view that certain infringements can be stopped only by tough penalties. I do not agree with the idea of crushing vehicles but giving fines which act as a deterrent is not necessarily a bad thing and the offender has the choice to obey the law or not - actions have consequences.

"Is this what they do from where you are from" seems to be labelling all people from the poster's country to be thinking in the same way, which I am sure they do not. Some will agree with him, some will have stronger views and some lesser views. Anyway, in many countries traffic laws are even tougher and tough fines, prison sentences and destruction of vehicles is perhaps not as uncommon as you think.
