Things to Ban this Rainy Traffic Season | Print |  E-mail
Written by Chette Soriano

The increasing cost of gas does not seem to deter (yet) the abundance of vehicles on the road. But rain & traffic do not go well together, as proven by the blasting of horns that wake me up each morning.

I came up with a list which will guarantee to lessen road rage (at least on my part), & make driving a better podcast-listening experience.

Dear government, please ban the following immediately:

1. Full-size SUVs, pickups, & vans. They horde parking & spaces, road space, and are insane enough to carry only 1 to 2 passengers.

A wise man once said "If you want to make up for having a small p*nis, just buy a big camera."

2. Jeepneys. They're not cheap, because FXs fares are already comparable to theirs. But since we are known for using poverty as an excuse to stop the remaining legislations meant to uplift the well-being of our country, we still have those damn jeeps.

The real reason why jeepneys are still around? Because we are lazy. Jeepneys are the mode of public transportation which can drop us off at the very point where we want to be dropped off -- making you forget that there are such things as unloading & loading zones. Kulang na lang, umakyat ang jeep sa elevator.

3. Road constructions. Do it in the summer when there are no rains, no school, & the roads are not congested. Kailangan pa bang i-memorize yan?

4. Sound-blasting car stereos. You just have wonder what child abuse these kids went thru that impaired their hearing capabilities. Hopefully, those poor kids can still understand arithmetic:

College kid/Jobless grad + Car Bought By His Parents + Brand New Stereo System + Volume Turned All the Way Up = Attempted Murder

And that ends the top things to ban this rainy traffic season. Happy driving.

Call me crazy, but one of my joys is riding jeepneys. And I don't really know how to get around without them. Try taking public transpo without the benefit of a jeepney and you'll find it's very difficult.

Item 1 - right on!

Item 2 - not the 'jeepney' per se, its still who is behind the wheel

Item 3 - an old age scheme which only benefit the contractor and the so-called public servants pretending to be doing something...

catch 'falling down' starred by michael douglas
it says a lot about this item

Item 4 - let them wack their ears off
