Bus Hits EDSA Barrier Causing An Accident

This is really disheartening. We have to rein in these drivers. We need to have safe roads. As a nation, we need to have a culture of safety.

Or, maybe we should adopt a system which guarantees a swifter and more drastic resolution of traffic infractions by PUV drivers.

Personally, fines and suspensions really don't cut it anymore. I'm more in favor of something more draconian, a 'la Singapore like caning if the traffic infraction causes damage or injury to persons or property. It should be done very publicly so that these PUV drivers will think twice before every disobeying traffic rules again.

For the operators, summary impoundment and revocation of franchises after the 3rd infraction ought to do the trick. And, where those pricks in the LTFRB with vested interests are concerned, have them dismissed from the service as well.

The LTO does not think of ways to monitor driver's licenses issued. Under the Traffic Code, a license may be suspended or revoked if, within a 12 month period, a driver commits traffic violation three times. But the LTO does not have a database. This is actually a demerits system that's being practiced in advanced countries.

Penalty is too light IMO.

Heard the driver is asking for mercy, since he has a family to feed and this is the only "skill" he knows...

Prior to being hired by Joanna Jesh, Labin was a trucker who had flunked the test “three times” before finally obtaining a driver’s license on his fourth try, the LTFRB official told the Inquirer.

In 2008, a speeding Joanna Jesh bus figured in an accident on Edsa that killed an optometrist.

Kung hindi pa to napost sa TGP, nganga lang to sigurado.

Yung Gasat Express roadkill din mga driver nito.

This is what we really need to inculcate in all of us-- sense of accountability for our actions. This applies to citizens and government alike. Each citizen must know that if he does something wrong, then he must expect imposition of penalty. On the part of government, it must exact accountability from its citizens. In other countries, drivers know that if they commit a traffic violation, their license may be suspended or worse revoked, and without a license, their mobility would be severely restricted. This is especially true in California where most people move around in their cars.

Sa mga pub driver.. pag 3x na dapat naka gawa ng mali na parang ang mali ay hindi gawain ng pro e dapat e non pro na lang ang license nila for 1 year or 5years.. kagaya ng ganyan. Tinakbuhan ang na saging barrier. Hindi gawain ng isang pro yan. Dapat tumigil siya agad at inaayos niya at binayaran niya ang mga nasira.
