^ sali ka shell national slalom? 

usually mas madali ito gawin sa fwd, and if the tires are stock. pag makapit like say
advan neovas, federal 595, achiles 123 and the like, you'll need to put in more effort.

paclear naman nito.. example yung crossing sa shaw blvd.

kunyari ako yung star pede naba ko lumiko sa crossing papuntang pasig?


or need ko pa dumiretcho hanap ng uturn then pabalik then saka palang liko sa pa pasig / or turn right pa san juan hanap u turn then saka diretcho pa pasig?


thanks sorry newbie lang talaga ko naninigurado lang.

[sonicassault]

di ako familiar sa intersection eh, pero kung walang stop light/enforcer at may yellow X sa road, pwede yata? but personally didiretso na lang ako tapos u turn.

kung may stop light naman tapos walang left turn arrow, diretso ka talaga.

assuming galing ka sa cubao at gusto mong mag pasig via shaw, papasok ka na muna ng starmall, tapos magleleft ka dun going to pasig.

Hi guys, hingi lang sana ako ng tips. Naging mannerism ko na kasi yung 'having a heavy foot' and napansin ko na napaka delikado pala neto especially when making sharp turns or any kind of turn for that matter kasi I tend to depress my foot on the accelerator without me realizing it habang lumiliko. Ano ba yung mga technique para maayos ko to? TIA

Heel down ka lang papi. tapos using your ankle as a fulcrum, gently apply force using the ball of your foot on the pedal.

Actually kung turns lang ang pag-uusapan, hindi naman talaga dapat inaapakan ang accelerator until after the apex. This is assuming it's a clear road, no traffic. Put your foot above the brake while negotiating a turn. It will be a jolting reminder to you when you inadvertently go heavy footed on that brake instead of the accelerator.

And like Ralph said, you should be driving heel down and pressing with the ball of your foot, if you already aren't.

Nahihirapan kasing umarangkada yung sasakyan kung yung clutch and break alone ang tinatancha ko so kelangan ko magcompensate using the gas pedal. parang nagnunumb yung right foot ko habang liniliko ko yung manibela, siguro kelangan ko lang taasan ang attention span ko. btw tyvm for the replies

Nagdodownshift ka ba bago mag turn? baka naman iniiwan mo sa mataas na gear and/or malakas yung brake mo na ubos na ang inertia kaya nahihirapan yung makina?

Eto bad technique to so sana hindi mo maging habit, pero kung talagang kailangan, pwede mo i-blip yung accelerator then ease in the clutch. Bad habit kasi sobrang daming mali ang pwede mangyari dito unless clutch rider ka (which is also a really bad thing).

i can't say get your foot off completely pero presence of mind lang din.

you can hang your foot on the accelerator but don't depress it.

having a heavy foot isn't always a good thing, smooth lang dapat para hindi nabibigla ang makina at oto mo.

Guys, isa pang question if I may. The situation is... eto palapit na ako sa isang 4-way busy intersection, each direction having 2 lanes, think of lets say around Araneta Center Cubao....at gusto kong lumiko to the right. REGARDLESS kung alam kong WALANG paparating na sasakyan from the LEFT, what is the more appropriate way?

1. Letting go off the gas pedal, downshift to 1st, maintain clutch at working level,using my momentum, WITHOUT using my brakes I'm going to turn right.
2. Gas a little bit, stop at the intersection, look if the road is 100% clear (kahit na alam kong libre pero just to make sure) and then turn left.

Opinions?

Pumunta ka muna sa kanang lane.. go right along shaw may u-turn dun saka ka papunta ng pasig

Ganyan ang sistema nila (mmda).. kapag wala kang nakitang traffic light going right

1. NEVER downshift to 1st. EVER. Baka kaya nabibigla yung galaw ng kotse mo sa turns, kahit  hindi ka pa heavy footed.
2. International driving standard says always stop at an intersection. So yun, tigil ka muna tapos execute the turn when safe.
3. But since nasa Pilipinas tayo at mas malamang na ma rear-end ka pa pag tumigil ka sa right turn, brake, downshift to 2nd, disengage brake pero alalay lang, then execute turn.
4. Pero talagang dapat #2. Practically yun din naman ang gagawin mo kasi sa pinas, either sobrang traffic na titigil ka talaga, or sobrang luwang ng kalsada na ang daming magsspeed without stopping for lights or oncoming/merging traffic.

[DrDeathRNMD98]

ang laban kasi sa number 1 is since alam mo naman na maluwag, bat ka pa titigil, nagsayang ka lang ng gas, parang gas saving versus safety

Safety first, diba? Two seconds ng gas sa idle engine, ganun ba karami ang matitipid mo na piso para ipagpalit sa buhay mo?

True that. 2 seconds ng gas, mga piso siguro. kapalit sa buhay? ill take the life card please.

sir, ilang mL lang gas natipid mo sa segundo na yan. i'd rather play my life card pls.


@ sonic

pano naman kaming old schooler with wider transmission ratios and 4 gears onle?
depending sa speed, one may or may not shift down. pag mababa na road speed / engine rpm, i shift down....



...plus i want to be able to gun it at will, medyo mahirap sumibat in 2nd gear at mababa rpm
