Too many PASAWAY motorcycle RIDERS on the street

[dr. d]

pwede ba magbayad ng cash ang bikes sa highway?

I think the only way to get an RFID for a small bike is if you bought your sticker sa Lazada nung ECQ.

provided these smaller bikes are allowed. which they aren't.
but they do have headlights to plaster the rfids to....

Bumibili pa lang ako ng motor, ang nasa isip ko na agad ay madaling sumingit sa traffic, pero never ko inisip na sumingit ng alanganin. Although naranasan ko na rin na sumingit nga ng alanganin, spur of the moment ika nga. Talo sa benefit-risk ratio e. Kaso karamihan ata ang feeling superman sila hehe.

iba naman kasi tayo and iba si manong rider.

yung tipid ko sa traffic is nauuna tayo sa uturns.
sa parking
kapag stop light, pwede kang dahan dahan hanggang makarating sa harap.

pero yung singit ng singit (tulad ni manong rider), nakakapagod din.

(can't remember if Easy or Auto)

pero the (bike) RFID can only be used on a plastic surface. so if the headlight is glass... sa flyscreen linalagay yung RFID.

they probably think they're supermen... hindi nasusugatan... hindi nababalian... hindi nasasaktan...
and in full view of the backdrop overhead pedestrian crossing a few meters behind them...
highs.

i wish we had a real courtroom video,
judge: "where did this pedestrian hit occur?"
defendant: "a few meters from the overhead pedestrian crossing facility, sir."
judge: "bakit hindi mo ginamit yung pinagka-gasusan nang gubyernong overpass built precisely for you?"
defendant: hmmmmm...
judge: "case dismissed!"

Hehe, that judge would probably get the ire of many fb and tiktok addicts na mang-mang. Sasabihin na minamaliit yung mahhirap.

But the judge is right of course.

sadly, even if the pedestrian's intention is to end his life... dahil tinamaan sya ng motor vehicle, kasalanan ng vehicle

(not unless binago na yung laws natin)

"it all happened so fast, your honor. i didn't have time to react. he appeared out of nowhere and proceeded to run, in an attempt to cross the highway, your honor! there were no pedestrian crossing markings on the road, and there were concrete barriers that are supposed to deter jaywalking, your honor!"
"ganun ba? case dismissed!"

OT.
i once almost hit an illegal pedestrian who was running across busy edsa, in makati.
it would seem, the guy was an isnatser, and had just isnatsed something from someone from the other side of edsa, and was escaping by running across edsa.
we could see and hear the body language and the hollering from his victim.

judge: "pedestrian ba yung na-bundol mo?"
"not exactly, your honor. you see, he was brandishing a shallow wooden box with a bunch of cigarettes and storck candy plastic bags..."

We had this discussion in school (nung 90's)

If a person jumped sa overpass nalaglag sa street and tinamaan ng car... sino may kasalanan?

Based on our laws, baka buhay pa sya and napilayan lang. the person cannot stop his fall pero the car driver can hit his brakes.
In the real world, kasalanan sya ng car, pero a good lawyer can call it an unavoidable accident/homicide.
"kasalanan pa din ng car"

if the person falls on the car... its a different story.

"the theory of last chance to avoid".
if i can show that the other guy was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that he did not give me-the-motorist enough time to react,
then i may be judged free of all liens.

humans may only react so fast.
in my opinion,
a falling body does not give me adequate time to react.
the law may not expect me to react faster than that prescribed by human physiology.

agree. we had a driver before na nakabangga ng sumemplang na biker.

we won the case, pero the driver was still behind bars for a couple of days.

and bayad pa din kami ng lawyer.

You mean the "doctrine of last clear chance" which provides that where both parties are negligent but the negligent act of one is appreciably later in point of time than that of the other, or where it is impossible to determine whose fault or negligence brought about the occurrence of the incident, the one who had the last clear opportunity to avoid the impending harm but failed to do so, is chargeable with the consequences arising therefrom.

Matter of facts and circumstances na lang talaga pero applicable ito usually sa mga nag-oovertake ng alanganin. Kung kkaya pa gumulid nung nasa right of way, dapat gumulid pa din at huwag ipilit right of way basta safe naman gumilid or tumabi sa gutter/pedestrian lane.

[dr. d]

i do not know about the others,
but i, for one, have no feeling of neglect or guilt, whatsoever, at bumping into a body that happens to fall down from the sky at the very same time that i am driving, minding my own business and staying within the boundaries of traffic law.

i mean,
is it just, to demand that all motorists always keep an eye up in the sky or overpass, looking for falling bodies, with the objective of avoiding them as they fall onto the road?

anyway, as I always tell my daughter who's "practicing to drive locally"

kahit sinong may kasalanan...

the person will get wounded o baka mapilayan pa sya.

You'll feel bad after and uulitin mo ng uulitin sa sarili mo na sya may kasalanan para you feel less guilty.

Normal naman yan, we all like to deny bad things. Basta defensive driving always lang talaga sa Pinas, mahirap na. Malaki chance ng disgrasya or aksidente eh kung hindi defensive driving mentality. And always keep a cool head.

Gawin nila mandatory yung insurance sa MC, sure yan kukunti sa daan. Problem is that Di nga rin ma enforce yung LTO registration.

as our driving instructor always ended his defensive-driving talk,
"you may be dead right, but you do not want to be dead, right?"
defensive driving.

... walang insurance requirement ang motorsiklo!"
i did not know that.

... kung sino pa yung pinaka-malamang ang makikinabang...

but if you mean, comprehensive insurance...
the insurance providers might be the ones balking at the prospect.
pijadong lugi sila diyan, or their premiums will be abnormally huge.

Mandatory insurance ng MC ah, yung TPL? You mean higher insurance fee?

hindi ba required ang TPL sa motorcycle?

[Egan101]

LTO says around 70% of motorcycles are not registered or opted not to renew their registration.

Wala nga pambayad ng rehistro, sure Wala din pambayad ng insurance.

Even worse, siguro a third or half that number of unregistered motorcycles either wala drivers license or fake yung license.

Sad part is that LTO and local government are not doing anything to address the problem. Mabansagan ka pang anti-poor, Di ka mananalo sa susunod na eleksyon.
