House OKs bill vs drunk drivers

[baludoy]

problema nanaman dyan ang implementation

[SNAKE V6]

I drink 3 beers here in the US when Im in a bar and drive, but have never been stopped. Even if ur BAL is 0.01% doesn't matter... if your driving erraticaly, they will stop you. Depends on your tolerance. They have breath analyzers here and put checkpoints during holidays esp thanksgiving.

Good na meron na nyan sa Pinas, dyan nawasak oto ng utol ko. DUI. Good that he only had minor bruises. Although 0.06 is quite low IMO (baka 1 shot lang ng vodka yan e), better be safe than sorry.

[lolo pepe]

OT: curious lang...libo-libong breath analyzers ang kailangan para idistribute sa mga traffic law enforcement agencies nationwide. tapos kailangan ding i train ang mga traffic enforcers on the proper usage and operation ng mga ito.

abangan...tiyak hot issue na naman ito pagdating ng bidding...

[kiper]

AFAIK, sa local regulations 0.06% ang sinusunod eh..

patay na naman tayo nito sa enforcement.. magkano ba portable analyzers?

[swimstroke]

Hehe, hindi kaya source of income ito...?

AL-2500 Personal Digital Alcohol Detector Breathalyzer $29.95 on eBay.

a BAC of 0.05% is considered DUI sa USAF.

kailangan din sigurong bumili para sa sarili to keep it handy... baka mas mababa ang calibration na gagawin para sa mga traffic enforcer... hehehe

[Monseratto]

The bill is now awaiting Senate action, the statement said.

Hmmm...aabutin na to ng election next year.

[CVT]

Matagal ng dapat na may ganitong batas sa atin.

Sana lang ay maipatupad ng tama at epektibo,- at walang palakasan...

Sa South Australia, legal limit is 0.05% pag full license. 0% pag provisional or learner's license ka pa lang. I think, pareho din sa ibang states.

Most police forces use breathalyser units to test a driver's BAC. Kaya dapat mag allocate sila ng additional funding para makabili ang PNP ng mga breathalyser units.

Yung mga commercial breathalyser units na nabibili sa ebay, etc. are usually calibrated to a country's specific standard, especially the cheap ones. Most that I have seen have only 2 LED lights, red and green. Kung sa US, red means lagpas ka na sa 0.8 tapos pag green pwede pa. Kaya di ka pwedeng bumili ng breathalyser na galing US to use it sa Pinas.

The more expensive ones ay yung merong display na kung ano talaga ang BAC mo.

At gaya ng sabi ng mga tao dito, your BAC depends on a number of factors. Merong iba na 1 standard drink lang, 1.0%+ kaagad ang BAC. Meron namang iba na 5 drinks na, 0.01% pa rin ang BAC. Kaya kung manginginom ka at mag da drive ka, pace yourself. Take 1 drink every hour and have a full stomach. This will let your body process the alcohol properly.

Better yet: if you're going to drive, don't drink. If you drink, don't drive. It's that simple.

sana hindi abusuhin ng mga traffic enforcers itong law na ito.

Which I doubt very much.

[Eismann]

Baka OT:
Yun bang sending sms while driving e may law na din? Sa experience kasi natin, at 0.06% blood-alcohol level e very coherent pa at active ang driver. Samantalang if you send an sms while driving e mas delikado pa kasi your eyes are not fixed on the road, patingin-tingin ka sa text msgs mo. Tama yung 2 to 3 bottles of regular beer and an ordinary Filipino man already exceeds 0.06%.

So baka dito sa Pinas malaki problema sa implementation nitong law na 'to.

Hehehe. I doubt na gamitin nila yan brother. Lalaki na naman ang dilihensya ng mga alagad ng batas natin.

[bajumbo]

This is half nice... Half kc sure ako 100% di maiimplement ng ayos yan...

Tsak ako marami ng dirty cops ang mag oovertime para dito... Added income kc. Sana ung breathalyser na kunin nila ung di pede kalikutin... bka matulad yan sa mga taxi meters ang bilis pumatak.

[NazQ]

buti naman. long overdue na to..
