Buses to have black boxes - DOTC
By Dennis Carcamo (philstar.com) Updated August 27, 2009 03:37 PM

MANILA, Philippines -- All passenger buses nationwide will be required to have black boxes or speed regulators to avoid fatal accidents in the future, the Department Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said today (Aug. 27).

"This is to protect them (drivers) also and the riding public," DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza said after meeting with bus operators this afternoon. "The black box will inform the office of the bus operator when a driver is overspeeding."

He noted that blackboxes have already been used by large trucking companies to monitor their shipments.

Aside from the gadget, Mendoza said they will be deploying traffic personnel in strategic areas in major thoroughfares to conduct random drug and alcohol testing.
I dont think this is effective. Blackboxes dont control/dictate drivers' judgement.
