Road Rage

[Dr.Kamiya]

Yup unconstitutional to give him a violation, let alone a driving ban based on that.
I wonder if there's any law firm who'll take up his case, but this seems like it should be slam dunk.

1987 Philippine Constitution - The LawPhil Project
Article III (Bill of Rights) Section 4: No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.

Is giving the finger illegal?

Anti-road rage law ata nag fall yung violation niya.

The middle finger is widely recognized as a sign of anger or frustration, which often finds its way to drivers during heated on-road encounters. As for the Land Transportation Office (LTO), this aggressive behavior will never be tolerated. The LTO views such gestures as a form of Road Rage—an offense that can lead to a motorist being stripped of their driving privileges.

That's their narrative sa news but there's no legal basis or precedence.

Pano kung murahin mo ng verbal? Yun lang naman equivalent nun di ba MF.

agree. pero his license is still suspended and he has to attend an LTO hearing.

kahit manalo sya in the end, naabala pa din sya. I don't think the LTO will compensate him for the days na naabala sya

Yes, wouldn't that mean that the law itself is unconstitutional and at least a section of it will need to be repealed?

Far as I know the constitution and bill of rights takes precedence over any law.

That's my interpretation. Though, I'm not an attorney.

Maybe actual lawyers in this forum might be able to shine some light onto it.

IMO, as much as I want misdeeds to be punished, I think they're doing it in a manner that can be described as government overreach. And it's eroding the rule of law. Again, I think they should ground their decisions on clear-cut guidelines.

[ice15]

my biggest issue against what the LTO is doing is that the video/photo has to be viral before they act on it.

sana may website ang LTO where we can upload photos/videos in private, tapos both the offending party and the owner of the media will be required to report to the LTO.

that way, you'll think twice before sharing a photo since maaabala ka din.

Parang twisted na kasi yung nangyayare sa batas ngayon na pati kung anong mga nakasaad sa constitution hindi na basta nasusundan. Not surprised though.

As far as I know, that bill is still pending in Congress and has not been passed into law.

That's right.

We've seen this type of behavior before during the pandemic when people's rights were disregarded.

[GTcervan]

Meh. Move on lol.

Road Rage Update: Student, registered scooter owner included in SCO | Autoindustriya

the student, along with his parents and the registered owner of the scooter, were all included in the LTO’s Show Cause Order (SCO). The parents are expected to explain why they are allowing a minor to drive a scooter without the required driver’s license, as well as what appears to be other traffic and equipment violations on the scooter.

If the driver had stayed calm and reported the hit-and-run to the barangay or the police, things might have turned out much better for him.

Unfortunately, he chose to take matters into his own hands and rammed the other vehicle — and now, more than half of social media sees him as the bad guy.

"raging hormones syndrome."

goes with,
"so, you wish to match carburators with me!", and
"you badmouth or maltreat a man's car, you badmouth or maltreat his manhood."

It's one thing to ram one's car into another car out of rage (which is very bad) and another to ram into a motorcyle with a rider while speeding through a narrow residential/school zone street.

It's bad enough to ram one's car into another car in a fit of rage, it's another altogether for a car to ram a motorbike at high speed through a narrow residential/school zone street.

Early lesson for that MOFU that there's price to pay for running away from responsibility.

DOTr Usec. under fire for using unauthorized plate, wang-wang | Autoindustriya

the new LTO Chief, Markus Lacanilao, has given DOTr Undersecretary for Internal Audit and Special Concerns, Ricky Alfonso, until the end of the day to surrender his driver and his Lexus LX570 to face the consequences.

one of Usec. Alfonso’s security personnel were seen and allegedly slapped the other motorist involved in the altercation, even boasting that they were “transporting a VIP.” What drew the ire of netizens, however, was the apparent use of unauthorized wang-wang—complete with blinkers and sirens—and a protocol Plate No. 10. This specific plate designation is reserved exclusively for justices of the Court of Appeals, Court of Tax Appeals, the Sandiganbayan, and the Office of the Solicitor General. Alfonso, however, holds none of these positions.

great news!
