Balasubas Na Mmda

[rodiz75]

i had this experienced last week. tinted car ko pero itong pulubing MMDA nakita parin na di nakasuot seat belt ko. hiningan ako 1000 kesyo may seminar pa raw at multa. sa totoo lang di ko talaga alam penalty ng useless na batas na yan. Anyway binigyan ko narin at nagkasundo kami sa 500 kesa kunin pa license ko at maabala pa ako. pero lintik talaga nakatago lang kasi sa poste ang hinayupak ang galing ng mata. ALBERTO AGUAS pala name ng kumag na skwater na MMDA.

Well, balasubas at kotongero nga.

But I really can't blame him. By not wearing your seatbelt, you gave him an opportunity to extort from you. And his hiding behind a post is immaterial. Dapat kasi ke may nagtatago or wala, we should obey the law.

And seatbelts saves lives. It's not useless. That's just your opinion.

Discipline begins with us. Siguro hindi ka na rin dapat nagbigay. Nagsumbong ka na rin lang, dapat nilubos mo na, para di na maulit yung pangongotong nya.

i agree... law is still a law.. dont you know seatbelt does save lives..its proven..so best use it. it might not be that great in the traffic roads of the philippines..but its can save lives.

as per the extortion..well..one..you should not have given in...but you did..and if you are so pist off.i suggest you file a complaint with mmda on that guy....

teach that mmda a lesson of not accepting bribes for his gains.

peace

Baka ang ibig sa bihin nya ng useless na batas eh not based on high risk priority implementation:

1. Yun trycycle maski meron seat belt driver at passenger eh yari pa rin pag na sapol ng 4 wheel vehicle: Tanong bakit pwede sa daan dapat ban yan

2. Yun mga passenger jeep mas delikado orientation ng upuan: Tanong bakit pwede wala seat bealt?

Yun mga passenger car with side bar and impact protection yun ang pinag initan. sagot dahil sa pera source of fund raising yun penalty.

3. Sa Philippines what is the statistics sa namatay sa daan? dahil ba sa walang seat belt? walang vaid data alam ko.

[Galactus]

Well that maybe so, but it doesn'tgive him an excuse not to wear his seatbelt.

And re: local data about seatbelts, sa UP meron, yung center ata nila dealing with traffic & transportation. Forgot the name though.

Besides, do we have to split hairs about this fact?? The NHTSA and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the U.S. have definitively proven that seatbelts saves lives.

Korek ka Bro US stats din ang reference ko. But in Pinas bakit naging priority yun less riskier than high risk receptacle sa daan, yun jeep etc.

[CLAVEL3699]

150 to 250 lang po multa nang seatbelt.

kc nahuli na misis ko nyan walang seatbelt.

[Gumusut_Amige]

tumpak lahat yung sabi nila... sa akin talagang hindi ko aabante hanggang hindi naka seat belt katabi ko. though not yet enforcing as mandatory sa back seat passengers.

mmda can't confiscate your license. they'll just give you a ticket that you have to pay off.

[Syuryuken]

Kung nakasuot lang yung seatbelt mo hindi siya magkakaroon ng pagkakataon na kotongan ka. Para sa akin kasalanan mo pa rin yung pagkahuli mo.

i agree with you guys na may kasalanan ako dun. when i said useless what i meant was kung mahigpit sila sa mga private cars dapat ganun din sa lahat ng mgasasakyan. nung time na nahuli ako it was traffic along Ortigas going to EDSA. The car beside me porke ba taxi lang kahit di naka seatbelt pinabayaan at ako ang pinili. kahit wala naman batas dyan eh talaga naman dapat tayo mag seatbelt eh kaso nung implemented na ginawa lang palabigasan ng ibang enforcers. natatawa ako sa mga jeepneys na may seatbelts yun ang useless.

nakakaasar lang eh fully tinted car ko kaya talagang nagulat ako at ako ang minalas. mas mamamatay pa tayo sa pollution dito sa pinas kesa sa banggaan dahil sa sobrang traffic eh. well next time i'll never forget to wear my seatbelt again.

[BoEinG_747]

naging patakaran ko na mag suot ng seat belt mula ng mga nakabasa ako ng aksidente ng hindi pag gamit ng seat belt .
.kaya lang minsan naka ugalian ko na kahit ilalabas ko lang ng garahe ang sasakyan nagagamit ko pa din mag seat belt ..mabuti na ito kaysa mahuli or makotongan pa

You violated two things - for not wearing seat belt and for giving bribes to the MMDA personnel.

Bakit nga ba the other occupants of the vehicles are not required to wear seat belts?. Pag nagkaroon ng banggaan, these occupants would also move forward and might cause injuries to the occupants in front of them. The seat belts would restrain them from moving forward and hit other occupants.

+1
You violated a law and decided that the remedy was to break another law. All your actions did was encourage this MMDA personnel to accept more bribes because it pays to be corrupt. You knew you were wrong and opted to bribe the guy instead of accepting the ticket and reporting the guy because he asked for a bribe. Who is worst in this situation, him for asking the bribe or you for actually giving it? To me you are just as corrupt as he is, it may be blunt but it's the truth.

To quote a Michael Jackson song.
"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change"

If you want graft and corruption to stop in the Philippines each individual should start with themselves before looking to others. It may be idealistic but it's the only way I can see my homeland changing for the better. Rant over.

This TV ad graphically shows that possibility:

Parehas kayong dapat i-goon squad. You for bribing the MMDA and the MMDA for accepting your bribe.

[CaMoTe!!!]

useless in a way kasi 10kph lang daw average speed pag rush hour... hehehe....

but then again, batas nga po.. kaya sumunod... ;)

[the_wildthing]

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Pag alam kong mali ako nagpapa-ticket ako.

true on the batas. kaya nga batas, kaya nga may systema kailangan sumunod.. anyway on the other hand maski po 1 km/hr pa yan kailangan mo pa rin mag seat belt.

Anak ng boss ko alam nyo ba na total wreck ang sasakyan. Alam nyo kung saan na total wreck? Sa parking lot! At ang nagpasave sa kanyang buhay ay ang kanyang seatbelt. Biro mo parking lot iyon ah. Binangga sya at nakahinto sya.
