so kunwari you were driving along edsa and some idiot decides to cross under a pedestrian overpass with that big pink billboard glaring at him that says "WALANG TAWIRAN, NAKAMAMATAY" and you manage to hit the said idiot, it's still your fault?

The stupid traffic law has to be revised. So is the notion that as long as someone gets killed even if it's through no fault of yours, you still have to pay.

What's sure is that if you are the cause of death or injury, you get a case whether it's your fault or not -- magaan nga lang ang kaso kaya naaareglo. Technically, yung MC na isa ang may kasalanan kaya kung mahuli siya, may kaso din siya -- IF mahuli (or if they even bother).

malabo nga yon a.
kahit pa sabihing naka 1car distance ka sa biglaang
aksidente nayon di pwedeng dimo aabutan ang mga nasawi.
wawa talaga ang mga driver na nakakaencounter ng ganong scenario.
bad ruling yong ganon.

Baka the jeep was entering the stupid elliptical road from one of the side roads (QAve, East Ave, etc)... That road is just a big accident loop

SOP talaga na kasuhan yung mga nai-involve sa traffic accidents, especially pag may namatay. It's up to them to prove their innocence in court.
For all we know, baka sabi-sabi lang ng jeepney driver yung may isa pang motorcycle na nakasagi dun sa mga biktima, kaya niya nabundol.

It's wrong to file a case even if the investigation shows that the driver is at fault, but like others have said, SOP yun.
Yung masama lang, it goes on your permanent record.
I saw this on TV last night. The driver didn't seem to be at fault, and he surrendered right away. The biker was pushed off balance into his lane.
The elliptical road is stupid, ever since they removed the center island, it's nearly impossible to cross (as a pedestrian), and the bike lane is all the way in the center. And since this is now an eight lane road, people swerve all the way to the eigth lane to travel at 40 km/h there, then dive to the right for their turn off at just fifty meters away, crossing the whole road and causing a whole lot of near accidents.
And cyclists and bikers are expected to slalom through eight f***ing lanes of traffic to get to their proper lane? Something's not right with the logic behind this road...
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
