House bill banning motorcycles

[TeddyBeer]

Marikina City Representative Marcelino Teodoro and ARC Party List Representative Narciso Santiago filed the House Bill 3080 banning motorcycles along major thoroughfares of Metro Manila. The proposed bill is a set of guidelines to stop the rising number of motorcycle accidents due to speeding, not wearing helmets and drunk driving. (Source: Trapik.com)

I am a daily witness of undisciplined motorcyclists, especially the delivery motorcycles, who race, weave, squeeze between vehicles, and cut lanes. The number of motorcycles plying the metropolis has already increased and so are the undisciplined drivers. Consequently, the number motorcycle related accidents has risen too. Some lawless elements use motorcycles in their trades.


I am for the approval of the bill.

i dont agree.

i enforce na muna nila ang proper safety guidelines like "wearing the correct helmet" bago sila sumabak sa ganito.. bagong pagkakakitaan na naman yan IMHO. Hoo hoo hoo. happy new year!!

[scharnhorst]

wag naman. may mga matitino pa namang MC riders, no matter how few. Araw araw rin naman kasi may naaksidenteng mga naka 4-wheels dahil sa lasing, inaantok, masyadong mabilis, o talagang ungas lang mag drive. Main difference is, they usually live to tell the tale.

what we need is to straighten out the reckless. it's for their own good anyway - motorcycle riders die daily, and usually they usually go out in gruesome ways.

Hay!

pinag isipan ba yan?

[Ertai_Wiz]

The danger is there kahit disciplined MC driver pa yun...Sa mga major road nga lng mas mataas ang risk...Banning is not the answer...

Kung ako yun....dedicated lane na lng...ilayo sa mga bus....tska observe speed limit and safety gadgets....tska mas malaking kulungan para sa mga reckless driver para matuto

[Mguy]

Enforcement ang problem yan.

How I wish that the police or MMDA have a fleet of underbone motorcycles to catch erring drivers, motorcycles or hinde. Ala CHIPS.

[genezide13]

this is insane.. tamang pag eeduka lang ang kelangan at mahigpit na pag papatupad ng batas..

pag pulis ka kahit below sa minimum displacement nakakapasok ng expressways..

how about that???


they shoudnt ban MC's on major roads.. they should put motorcycle lanes pra mas iwas disgrasya...

^^i think it springs from the basic rule on traffic that says: GO ONLY WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO...

so when going endangers the life and limbs of the pedestrians and other motorists, and the going driver happen not to foresee the danger, the fault now is ascribable to the vehicle that kills or injures other people. so this is where liability lie.

in the same way that the last clear chance doctrine, imposes liability against the one, who, during the impact was at the right lane. because under the last clear chance doctrine, the one who has the last clear chance to avoid the fatal accident should have done his part to prevent the same from happening.

dura lex sed lex: the law may be harsh but it is the law.

I still think na mahirap siguro ito i-panalo sa court lalo na if the one riding the motorcycle was actually breaking the law at the time of the accident.

For example, most of these guys still go even though its a red light. If that person gets rammed by a car passing through then would that doctrine still apply?

The person in the motorcycle was breaking the law (stop on red) in the first place and the the one in the car was only following the rules (go on green).

Also -- I seem to recall a thread in which a pedestrian being hit by a car, if that pedestrian is breaking some law at the time of accident (walking under an overpass), then the owner of the car is not liable.. asan ba yun.. MMDA thread yun eh..

pano gagawin nila sa mga pulis na naka motor? ay sows! pag order ako ng pizza dadating sakin hindi na mainit. waaaaaaaaa.

i am 100% sure di ma approve to.

nagbabayad din naman registro motor at road tax. tama yung isang tsikoteer. higpitan ang pag kuha ng lisensya sa magmo-motor at maging strict na magsuot ng helmet and other safety gears.

pano yung mga tulad ko na pag labas ng village e hway kagad? di ko na magamit motor ko pala? so di ko na kelangan rehistro. magkano kaya mawawala sa LTO sa mga taong katulad namin?

naalala nyo nuon. yung mga 20 years old na kotse di na daw pwede i rehistro. wala din nangyari dun. ang isang bill basta di makamasa malabo matupad.

[jedi]

isang mahigpit na pagsasatupad ng batas trapiko and rules ang kailangan...

[jeffrocks]

By the time the "Bill" passed sa lower house,that's it.Have you noticed the increasing volume of motorcycles in the provinces?masakit sa tenga at mata
kahit mga minors ay driving it, at isa pa parang katulad na sa india,pakistan
vietnam, etc. criss-crossing each others path,walang rehistro din...
hindi lang mga authorities ang pasaway pati motorcyclist din...i-ban na sila
sa mga major hi-ways hanggat di sila umayos sa daan...
majority ng mga motorsiklo lalo na sa probinsya ay walang rehistro,nakikipag-taguan sa mga authorities.

ang kakulangan ng implementasyon sa batas trapiko ay hindi dapat isisi sa motorista or sila ang pagdusahin. i will give you an example. sa marikina may bike lane pero dinadaanan din ng kotse. so ano ang dapat? i ban ang kotse? or hulihin sila dahil nandun sila sa hindi nila dapat dinadaanan? ang point ko is, kung may nanghuhuli malamang sa oo na tumino mga nagmamaneho. motor man o kotse.

"masakit sa tenga at mata"? parang may galit ka sa naka motor. hehehe.

hindi rin ubra na sa secondary roads lang ang motorsiklo. san pa makakarating ang nagmo-motor nun kung ganun? parang sinasabi nyo na sa kanila or should i say na sa amin na sa loob lang kami ng village or maglakad na lang.

AFAIC matagal ng banned ang underbone sa EDSA. ewan ko bakit biglang pwede na sila dumaan uli dun. bigbikes lang ang pwede dun dati e. 175cc yata pinaka maliit.

pareho lang sa 4 wheeled ito

[ghosthunter]

pareho lang sa 4 wheeled ito

yes... there might also be the same type of 4 wheeled drivers but the main difference is if these 4 wheeled idiots get into an accident, they don't have a high percentage of getting killed or certain body parts scattered on the road as compared to MC riders.

As it is, MC and 4 wheelers are not compatible on the same highway. Until certain level of discipline can be met, I am also for the idea of banning MCs from certain roads.

[Hibiki]

Sana isama nila mga Tricycles sa pag-ban. Mas walang disiplina mga Trike drivers kesa mga MC riders.

[josechoyjose]

Dapat sa secondary roads lang ang mga motorcycles para sa kaligtasan ng lahat ng motorista.

Uy wag naman... pano nalang paguwi ko sa amin mahaba din nilalakad ko noh. Peace out! ^^

[Kamui]

I vote for the banning of 80% of all Filipinos drivers on all major roads to make it safer for foreigners who drive/ride to work everyday from people who don't follow traffic rules. Will it happen NO! Wishful thinking on my part.

From what I read on the other site, the accident rate of bikes to cars/trucks is separated by only 4% so they say, so maybe they should ban cars too.

If everyone in this forum drove trucks and the poor majority of people use small sedans and drive recklessly, then you guys would be screaming ban small sedans. Why ban the vehicle when simple enforcement of road rules would improve the situation? Ah yes, because this is a land of corruption and "tamad" society so people think of stupid/rushed solutions to problems. I see it with people I work with. Its an inconvenience but I have to endure it cuz I'm stuck here for a few years.

[v22]

sigh... i guess we can never expect much from non-motorcyclist government officials and other forumers here... It's really very easy to disregard opinions/needs of the "others" whom you do not know much of. It's so easy to "think" that restricting the rights of others will be for the benefit of the majority, or maybe themselves.

Motorcycles are already opressed as it is in the metro streets.. A lot of riders brave the risks and difficulties because either they "love" riding or its their only means of transport. Banning these vehicles along the major thoroughfares is a clear restriction of their rights! Riders pay licenses, registration and other taxes same as car drivers! which gives them equal rights to use the PUBLIC roads.. a fact that author of that certain bill have'nt thought about...

I hope this does'nt become another MC bashing thread again, Fact is the road is for PUBLIC use.. and by public, it includes motorcycle riders.

Ito na lang hulihin nila

Motorcycles without the ff:
side mirrors
plate numbers
helmets
less weight(kulang na lang pati sila maghubad na din eh)
headlights and tail lights

If they
have mirrors they are as small as the formula one race cars have
Have plate numbers its either tilted or on the left side or on the right side which can scratch someone else car or a feet of a pedrestrian.
helmets they just holding it

They weave it and out while there is traffic they dive either in your right side or at your left side.
Texting while riding.
