A shocking experience (motorcycle accident)

[LexTer]

ikaw pa ang kakasuhan pag na aksidente.

sana may mambabatas na makaisip magpasa ng ganyang batas. yung pag antimanong sa police report pa lang e kasalanan na ng kabila e wala ng kaso-kaso. pag namatay sila sa aksidente dahil reckless sila, e nakukulong pa walang kasalanan e.dalihan e may namatay daw.

minsan naiisip ko na lang, another irresponsible motorist is out of the street...

There is no law which automatically attributes fault to any one party in the case of a vehicular accident resulting in death or injury. Its the duty of the police officer to file the case and let the party justify his actions before the prosecutor or in court. In all probability, there will be no witnesses to corroborate the police's allegations of reckless imprudence.

the problem with motorcycles is that anyone can buy them. motorcyclists should all learn proper road discipline. everyone here knows that its fun to be fast, pero being responsible must always come first.

Tama! Yun nga lang, nagkakaso ka na at umubos ng oras at pera, not to mention mental anguish.

This happened last night while me and my daugther was driving along Imelda Ave.

We just came from a swimming party and I decided that we should go because I had to go to work the next day. I was driving along Imelda Ave. and I was going to make a right turn to Pasig Greenpark Village. Before I was able to make a right turn, there was a truck on the other lane. A blazing fast motorcycle was trying to put himself in a tight situation that ended in drastic accident. The motorcycle was at the right side of the truck (6-8 wheeler ata un) then I think he miscalculated and hit the tires. He catapulted to the other lane (which I was in) and dropped dead. Blood was all over his mouth the helmet stayed on the other lane where he hit the bus. The dead body was sitting in front of my car. The guy was lifeless. My daughter who was sleeping slipped because I had to brake hard (good thing brake pads and tires were practically new) and my car had a sudden stop. I saw the dead guy laying on the street. If I was in high speeds, I could've ran over the guy as well (which may lead to my demize) and put me to jail. My daughter asked me what happened (which I did not explain further). My foot froze and hands were cold as ice. This is the most drastic, morbid and shocking accident I ever saw and I hope I would never see it again.

This serves as a warning to motorcycle folks who tend to try being daredevils in the streets. Speed is fun but then use it responsibly. Sorry I don't have pics and I would never intend to take one because it was really nerve racking.

Something similar happened to a good friend years ago. He was speeding in a bike during a heavy rain. He hit a deep puddle, slipped, and skidded on the asphalt right into an 18-wheeler on the opposite lane. DOA. No chance whatsoever. It was also a closed coffin in his funeral.

I was just getting comfortable with a crotch rocket at that time. His death was traumatic enough to make me quit and stick with cars.

buti na lang sir hindi talaga nakita ng daughter mo yung accident... that would be a traumatic experience, lalo na bata pa.

[cbcnestormn]

A bit OT but what makes me quite irritated is that the truck or car drivers would be hit by a case of reckless imprudence even when the motorcycle rider was at fault. Even without the case, they would have to shoulder the medical expenses and even absorb the insurance expenses as the motorcycle rider has no money or insurance.

I friend of mine driving his van also suffered the aggravation of a motorcyclist cutting him in front as he made a left turn at low speed, then demanded he pay for PHp 150k in hospital bills! The police fortunately had no other conclusion than to say that the cyclist was at fault. The point is the piling kup of motorcyle related accidents should prompt motorvehicle and traffic officials to explore ways to screen motorcyle drivers for fitness. Add to this the use of motorcyles for crime (miurder, robbery etc). Each time I see a motorcyle now, I either feel afraid they will cause an accident as too often they squeeze in between cars not only on the sides but even cutting you in front I have yet to see a policeman apprehend a motorcyle driver for recklessness.

Bubuhayin ko uli ang thread na ito kasi my blog is related with a motorcycle accident along Quezon Avenue a while ago . . .

Kaya pala grabe ang trapik kanina sa Quezon Ave, at around 3-4pm, kasi may MC rider na naipit sa ilalim ng tanker na nasa larawan. Allegedly, the MC tried to beat the tanker before the U-turn slot by passing thru the left side. Fortunately, when we passed by the scene, the rider is still moving from waist up. I hope and pray that he'll be OK.

Mapa-biker man o cager , lagi po tayong mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho. Ang maling desisyon sa loob ng ilang segundo ay maaring pagsisihan habangbuhay.

Ooppss..... AFAIR, malakas din ang ulan that time - madulas ang kalye, mas delikado.

I share your frustrations with these bikers. 95% of them are undisciplined and hardheaded

Ok, I share my tragic experience with these road idiots

I was bound for manila cruising along national road on a normal speed, when I was approaching a curve suddenly a bike on the opposite direction running too fast miscalculated the curve approaching very quick toward my direction (counter flow) so I swerved on the right shoulder to avoid them but still hit me head on. I was shocked, they were 3 of them on an underboned bike(xrm), a drunken hell driver, a kid, and an 8 month pregnant woman all of them were not wearing any crash helmet, the driver has no driving license and the bike was not registered. Unfortunately the pregnant woman died (sana yung driver nalang namatay), because of course she was 8 month pregnant she shouldn't ride a bike in that condition, but the driver got minor injuries, the kid just suffered few bruises.

With all of their violations I was still charged for reckless imprudence resulting to homicide, physical injuiry and damage to property by the prosecutor. To avoid these charges and inconvenience in attending hearings coz the accident happened too far from home I ended up paying them 200k, 100k for the driver and 100k to the family of the woman because they claimed that they were not married, f*!$% puro bwitre pala mga yun sigh... kung malasin ka nga naman.

I was just a simple motorist who just passed by in a place in a very wrong time...

Anyone of us may charge the same way like mine even how careful you are in the road. There must be something wrong with our law.

Bro, sorry to hear.

I hope I don't offend you by sharing my opinion. If it happened the way you say it is, then pa-demanda ka na lang. Konting oras lang ung haharap ka sa korte. If the bike's driver is drunk and has no license, wala ka pananagutan. Ma-d-drop ung charges sayo (criminal) ung sa civil charges sasagutin ng TPL. Wala kang gagastusin. In fact, masisingil mo pa sila for the damage sa car mo.
