That's why proper enforcement is very very important. The typical Pinoy dumudura or nagkakalat sa daan, jaywalks with impunity, beats red lights in the middle of the night and so forth pero pag nag OFW sa Singapore, US and other countries na alam naman nating worlds apart ang difference pagdating sa enforcement ng laws, biglang babait. Hindi na dudura. hindi magjajaywalk, etc pero pag uwi ng Pinas balik sa dating gawi. Merong mga nagiging pasaway pa rin kahit sa ibang bansa and what happens to them? They end up in jail or worse, uuwi ng Pilipinas in a coffin.
If you're still questioning my using the expressways on a sub 400 bike, it's not because I want to break the law with impunity. I follow every traffic rule wherever I go but for the sub 400 memo, it's my way of protesting what should have been given to me as a taxpaying road user. I am actually not alone with my crusade, fact is there are others like me who belong to a certain group and were actively involved during the legal proceedings as early as 2001 while fighting for the lifting of AO1 which was the total MC ban irregardless of displacement and we actually won. Nagkataon lang na after the total ban was lifted, merong backstabbing group of big bikers who got sneaky and submitted a petition using their money and political connections which resulted to the sub 400 ban. Hindi lang kami napapansin ng karamihan and it actually speaks because we do not cause incidents inside the expressways. We quietly use it because it is the safest roads for all motorcycles.
