reform the testing and requirements for a commercial driver license and these laws should protect public safety above all. he must be 'fit' to drive as in absolutely no chronic medical condition or vice issues. driving on a narrow asphalt shared among the various means of trasportation along with the peds who are are as crazy as the road and the weather condition all year long demands a skill beyond that of an average driver.
commuters should be more proactive and take back that power and right use of the road. use speedclock app or iradar on their smartphones and report it to mmda. include a pic of the erring driver and the company he's working for. if the driver is aware that big brother's watching he might think twice before he puts that pedal to the metal. get those idiots out of the road and replace with defensive drivers behind our buses, jeepneys and taxis and save limbs, time and peace'omind.
and lastly, just a reminder for everyone to hug your love ones everyday before you leave the house. a tiny prayer or a nice word or two i guess is enough to make a difference.
