A jeepney driver took a 16 year old girl's life

Hmm.... I stand corrected.

however, a law implies that, regardless of whose fault it is, the liability fall on the driver of the larger vehicle. in which case, the driver of the jeepney. can be categorized as " reckless imprudence resulting to homicide".

I wonder who is the supermoron lawmaker who thought of this law. Sobrang stupid nya.

What if one sunny day, you are driving carefully, minding your own business on your lane, alert of fellow motorists on the road, then, out of the blue, no chance for you to stay out of harm's way, binangga ka ng motorcycle (90% chances of dying in a crash) tapos SUV ka, obviously mas malaki ka, tapos yung tanga na bumangga sa'yo namatay, how the hell is that your fault??? Masisira ang buhay mo dahil lang sa isang tanga?

Another example is yung driver ng trailer truck, what if may sedan na nag-rearend crash sa'yo at namatay yung passengers, how is that your fault???

Pati na rin yung makasagasa ng tao sa mga lugar na DAPAT wala namang tao such as under the overpass or where people are prohibited to cross. Siempre, malakas loob nila kasi kinukunsinte sila ng batas eh.

These laws should be changed. Sobrang daming maling law dito sa atin na inimbento lang noon ng mga kung sino sino na mahina naman ang ulo. Let's push for changes in the constitution (pag di na si GMA nakaupo, someone trustworthy and honest na. Meron kayang politician na ganun? hehehe).

just a hunch, but wasn't it the late great president magsaysay (mambo mambo magsaysay) who claimed: "those who have less in cars, should have more in roads."

Ito narinig ko talaga galing sa kumag na pedestrian: 'Tumawid ka lang, babayaran ka naman kapag nasagasaan ka.'

Stoopid!

i agree. i wasn't aware of this law, and actually drove there for a few years when i lived in the Philippines.

now that i know about this idiotic and moronic law (no regard for the circumstances ba talaga? is it that black and white?), i'll do my best not to drive in the Philippines again unless this somehow gets repealed. pagbisita ko dyan kayo na lang magdrive sa akin in your blingin' rides

Now you know why it's better to just hit-and-run.

I agree.

The law maybe harsh or unfair, but it's the law.
