September 7th, 2007 03:12 PM #1I'll be attending a forum on motorcycles and the road, particularly road safety and i'd like to solicit your opinions about motorcycles on the road.
Good or bad opinions would be highly appreciated as this will pave way for possible policy with government officials attending as well as representatives from international organizationsl.
Feel free to speak as the youth and as motorists and think of this as an opportunity to give voice on your opinion on the matter.

No lane splitting if the speed of the main traffic is around 30km/h and above already.

In Taiwan, scooters are limited to the rightmost lane (2 lanes kung malapad na kalye). Mga big bike naman, pwede kahit saan.
Dapat ganun din sa atin.

We need:
1. A very very strict enforcement of the helmet law and mirror law.
2. Clearly defined motorcycle lanes (for safety's sake).
3. A removal of explicit and implicit exemptions that make no sense. Exemptions for motorcycles and tricycles on certain one-way streets (lazy enforcement... motorcycles are not so much a problem in this case as tricycles are, since tricycles take up 2/3rds of a lane). Also, exemptions from no-U-turn and no-left-turn signs that enforcers seem to give simply because they can't enforce compliance. Seems a modus operandi, as I've seen quite a few cars apprehended at poorly labelled or unlabelled "no left turn" slots because they were following a motorcycle in... and the ban on scooters on the highways is patently useless since so many are starting to sneak onto the SLEX already.
4. Proper education of PUV drivers on road safety... for the sake of motorcyclists. How many times have a seen a rider go over because a jeep pulled in right in front of him or stopped in the middle of two lanes, right in front of a motorcyclist?
5. Better education of scooter riders, and maybe stricter testing. May mga disenteng scooterista diyan... but there are so many more uneducated, first time riders giving them a bad reputation and everyone a hard time. Maybe make attendance at a riding course a requirement for licensure.
-----
Personally, I don't mind so much the fact that people have back riders... it's just proper education on the riding itself, and the assurance that they wear proper riding equipment.
It would also be good to promote track events and games for scooteristas... as a safe way for them to blow-off steam and help them learn riding safety and control.Last edited by niky; September 7th, 2007 at 04:39 PM.

September 7th, 2007 05:20 PM #6I agree on this! Would you also include the implementation of the yellow lane! bus drivers would have a hard time noticing bikes lalo na dito sa edsa. just to make the roads safer for bikers at para hindi na rin mag-lane split eh dapat enforce ang yellow lane ng mabuti. buses should only stick inside the yellow lane

that's good, at least you'll be better aware of how cars behave or the other way around if you're a full time driver and none of a rider...
