Warning: Loud audio-mobiles would be apprehended

[nicolodeon]

'Just heard on the news:

Starting next week, the MMDA would be apprehending vehicle owners who are swerving left and right or snaking on the road. The MMDA would also be apprehending vehicle owners who play loud music on their vehicles while on the road. The penalty: P 2,500 fine and/or the suspension of the driver's license for one year. For succeeding offenses, the MMDA is mulling on the idea of blacklisting the driver so that he/she can't get a driver's license anymore.

This new MMDA ruling applies to types of motor vehicles on the road e.g. PUVs, private vehicles and motorcycles.

Apparently, the MMDA has been receiving complaints from "concerned motorists and public commuters" about vehicles swerving/snaking like crazy on the road and about vehicle owners that play loud stereo music while on the road.

hehe patay muna sounds

[bardigones]

how loud is loud? imo, subjective. tsk.

Meron ba subjective issues sa MMDA? Apprehended ka agad if they think, repeat if they think, your vehicle sound is louder than their own whistles. Ganyan ka notorious ang MMDA.

[ghosthunter]

Even in the US, "loud audio systems" is very subjective. Some states have a maximum allowed decible rating but no equiptment issued to the police to actually measure it so enforcement is not possible.

this would end up as another kotong law...

I think they're targeting passenger jeepneys which have those extremely annoying PA-type speakers playing ridiculously loud music.

[zero]

wala nang magandang idea silang ma-isip.

ang maganda lang yata nilang naisip ngayon ay yung lifting ng coding starting today hanggang Jan. 1, 2006.

[pissword]

yung swerving guilty ako minsan, panu mo naman mapipigilan yan sa mga place like c5 etc yung may mga u turn slots hahahaha tsaka with buses sa tabi at jeeps talaga mapapaswerve ka para umiwas. pilosopo naman ako..

para sakin ang tuonan ng pansin tlaaga ng mmda na nakakaabala is yung mga PUV's specially the jeeps...

[ssaloon]

ningas kugon..

[shadow]

ayos eh di luluwag ang traffic dahil marami silang mahuhuling jeeps and buses..

[zanch]

Baka meron na sila hawak na DB meter. hehehe pati gabi sana para hulihin nila yung mga umiikot sa eastwood na napaka iingay.

agree ako diyan sa loud music in principle, lalo na yung mga amped-up na kotse na nagpapabayo with windows down. fine if theyre in a place where they won't disturb anyone, but some people do it in residential neighborhoods at night or something... napaka inconsiderate.

about swerving... dapat talagang hulihin yung mga sobrang alanganin/late na lumiko/change lane na sobrang talas na yung angle ng turn nila. lalo na yung mga bus bago ng mga flyover at yung mga bus sa yellow lane.

about snaking... parang malabo, lalo na sa highway. ayusin muna nila yung passing lane rule sa highways para hindi na kailangang mag "snake" yung mga kotse around left-lane squatters.

to add, while on the road - their awareness level might be decreased due to the loud music since they can't hear anything else other (like a car honking to avoid a mishap).

yung iba naman kasi eh sobrang OA magpatugtog.

yun ang hirap dito lalo sa EDSA, no such thing as fast and slow lane. sasabayan pa ng u-turn slot, lahat swerving na unless super kupad ka mag drive. there goes the ave. traffic flow.

apprehensions and parked MMDA also clog the roads....

aaarghh.

[maykel]

about loud audio-mobiles, malabo yata kung di natin alam how loud is allowed... marami n nmn makokotongan ang mga buwaya d2... wla tyong kalaban laban dyn.. tsk tsk tsk!

[mhelskie]

kotongang umaatikabo to! buti na lng stock lng sounds ko :D

go for SQ!

[theveed]

Dapat naman talaga iregulate yan.

The laws presented sa MMDA/LTO makes perfect sense, but when you bring the issue of how the laws will be implemented and enforced, unang papasok sa utak mo yung aabusuhin ka ng mga buwitre...

[xuv]

nice timing...just as i was bitten by the "sound bug" oh well time to find another hobby

[gearspeed]

Naku masabi nga ito sa mga kakilala ko na nakasound set up..
Baka hirit nung mga kakilala ko "ok benta na lang yung mga pangsounds punta na lang sa performance.."heeh
Buti na lang stock ang speakers ng optra..

[Jiggs]

Nde ba kasali dyan ung Super nakakatanggal tutuli na Sound ng Motorcycle...these days ung mga low ride na scooter super ang iingay....hinihirit pa sa mga residential area kahit early morning hours...
