Pinoy Motorista

For several days of using my new Honda XRM, I almost experienced accidents twice:

First last Wednesday when I was on my way home from Hinunangan. In Barangay Nahaong, Libagon, Southern Leyte I overrun a dog and I almost lost control of the motorcycle which was running at the speed of 60KPH during the incident. I really thanked God for saving me from that accident.

However, this afternoon, after my transaction at the Land Transportation Officer here in Maasin City I took the road in a hurry which led me to almost hit the coming passenger type Multicab. The driver shouted at me, cursing me. But I didn't give him attention to avoid problems...

What's the lesson here?

1. Avoid driving in hurry. You can drive faster but don't drive fast because you're in hurry. This is because if you're in hurry, you're mind will be filled of those things that made you in hurry and therefore can't focus on your driving.
2. Before entering the road if you're off the road, make sure that there's no vehicle coming from any direction. Give way to those drivers who have the right of way.
   
3. Be ready on what emergencies you might encounter on the road. Practice defensive driving.
