Bawal na loud car horns - MMDA??

[wombat]

Here's an article from Philstar.

Kawawa naman tayo na apat ang fiamms and they're also considering other accessories like foglights, any comments guys? I don't particularly like the idea. As long as you're responsible enough in using your accessories like horns and accessory lights, dapat ok lang. Dami dimly lighted streets and bad road conditions kaya kailangan ng good lighting system, right?

Bayani to silence buses

Loud air horns on public utility buses (PUBs) will soon be prohibited in Metro Manila for being a nuisance to the public.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Bayani Fernando said an ordinance will be submitted to the Metro Manila Council to support the proposal during its next scheduled meeting.

Fernando noted that the MMDA has been receiving many complaints particularly from the residential areas along EDSA about the noise of the horns used by the buses at the intersections.

Several of the complaints came from the exclusive subdivisions in Makati City near EDSA.

Fernando said the buses tend to continuously blow their horns to call for passengers without any regard for the surrounding areas.

In order to immediately address the problem, Fernando proposed that the loud horns be destroyed on the spot.

He pointed out that relying on the vehicle owners to remove the horns would take a long time so immediate destruction would be the better option.

The MMDA chief said even private vehicles would be covered by the possible ban.

The only ones that would be exempted from the ordinance are the trucks that operate outside of Metro Manila. Fernando said loud horns are designed for trucks to use along the highways.

"For city driving, the horns are nothing but a nuisance to other motorists as well as the communities," Fernando said.

MMDA Executive Director for Traffic Angelita Vergel de Dios also suggested that all of other non-essential accessories that affect the motorists should also be removed and banned.

He cited fog lamps, spot lights, white tail lights and muffler extensions used to amplify the sound of the exhaust as examples of accessories that should be prohibited.

De Dios noted that technically, any accessory that does not conform to the specifications of a vehicle should be banned. He also stressed that the dealers should be prevented from selling and installing these accessories.

fog lamps lagyan mo lang ng cover, hindi naman dapat talaga gamitin sa city driving, pwede lang pag malakas na malakas yung ulan.

white tail lights DAPAT LANG :evil: destroy on sight road hazard yan e.

[kiper]

hmm..

okay lang tanggalin ung loud horns sa buses..they're using it inconsiderately.8)

definitely, white tail lamps and other bright colored tail lamps shoul be removed immediately..illegal un.:twisted:

muffler..bahala na ung mga racer boys jan..:mrgreen:

fog lamps..makikipag-away na kami ni ungas niyan..!!:twisted:

[chieffy]

di yata ako sang ayon doon sa fog lamps...malapit na ang tag-ulan....magagamit iyan kahit city driving lang...

(OT: kung pwede nga lang ako maglagay ng fog lamps sa likod eh...nakakabuwisit kasi yung mga nagmamaneho ng naka high beam kahit bumper to bumper ang traffic at malinaw yung kalsada)

sa muffler...hmmm...stock lang naman ako(kay misis pa lang bawal na free flow mufflers he he)...ganda pa naman sana ng sheepdog....

all white taillights...bawal naman talaga iyan...

[RedHorse]

madalas akong umakyat ng tagaytay - alam naman ng lahat na may fog doon, at necessity ang fog lights...

Pagpasok mo naman ng tunnel sa Edsa/ayala, tapos swerte mong nasa unahan ay smoke belcher.... hoy ano ba :evil:

dapat lang bawal ang busina sa mga bus. natutuwa naman ako na may gumagalaw talaga at umaaksyon sa gobyerno (kahit isang tao lang). i always thought that yung busina ng mga bus, sobrang ingay at noise pollution lang ang naidudulot. di ko lang alam kung kanino ako dapat magreklamo kaya tinitiis ko na lang.

being a commuter, talagang nakakasakit sa tenga mga busina ng bus. lalo na sa ilalim ng ayala mrt station where the sound resonates against the walls & ceiling. yung mga bus drivers kasi busina ng busina, di naman din sila pinapansin ng mga pasahero.

Tanong dyan e baka magreklamo na naman ang IMBOA at sabihing dictatorial si BF. But knowing BF, di nya pakikinggan ang IMBOA at tutuloy parin nya yan. hehehe! go go go BF!!! :D

on the issue of fog lamps and driving lights, sabihan natin ang MMDA na ilawan muna nila ng maayos ang mga kalye before they remove lights from our cars. Pero kung mga walong ilaw na nakahelera sa roof ng auto ang kotse mo, talagang sobra na yan. dapat lang naman tamang angle ang ilaw para di nakakasilaw sa oncoming traffic.

On the issue of mufflers, sana kasama sa pollution test ng mga vehicles ang noise test sa exhaust. syempre taasan naman sana nila ng konti ang threshold para kahit man lang sport muffler, malagyan ang kotse. :D

[sauman]

katarantaduhan yata yung sa fog lamps a. e paano kung OEM na foglamps naman yung nakakabit, tatanggalin ko at magiiwan ako ng butas sa bumper ko? siguro ipagbawal na lang itong GAMITIN sa city driving or kung di naman talaga kailangan. About loud electric horns, tatamaan ako dito dahil 2 pairs na fiamm din ako, siguro hinay hinay na lang sa pag pindot ng busina. About the mufflers, stock lang naman ako yoko rin nito. As for white taillights dapat nga talaga ito tanggalin siguro on the spot hampasin na nila :twisted:

[vinj]

Yung sa loud horns ng cars, how can they judge if its loud or not?

Banning foglights/driving lights is $!W#%^%*#%!# since we use them properly (poor weather conditions and behind smoek belchers on EDSA.

Tanggaling yung mga horns ng bus? Pati na rin yung mga bus tanggalin and make it a monopoly of just one or two city bus lines for certain routes like in other countries.

[HBOY]

hmmm.. buti na lang all stock ako.. hihihi...

[IceColdBeer]

Loud horns for PUB's? Dapat lang dami talagang mga walang disiplinang driver. Dapat sama na nila pati mga wang-wang :evil:

Fog lamps? Wag naman :| Pero dapat iimprove nila mga street lightings dahil ang hirap talaga mag-drive pag madilim, lalo na biglang may tatawid sa daan. Yung Sucat Road na lang going to the airport, ang dilim. Meron namang mga street lights pero di nakasindi. Paging Joey Marquez, nakakalbo ka na sa kakakurakot, lagyan mo naman ilaw lugar mo :evil: Yung most expensive road, ang mahal mahal wala namang ilaw, grrr :evil:

[ssaloon]

loud horns on PUVs in particular dapat... and pati yung mga mahihinang busina tulad ng mga papitpito lang sa mga PUJs dapat ipagbawal! :evil:

banning foglights?!?! ano to, pati kung OEM foglights mo, bawal?? :evil:

agree ako sa pagbawal ng puting tail lights, tagal na nyan bawal, di lang ineenforce... pati yung mga tambutsong bastos na sa kaingayan, dapat ipagbawal din tlga!!

[cardsVR]

i guess they should first define what is loud and what is bright... like how many decibels is too loud... how many candela (the base unit in light measurement) is too bright

question is, pano nila mamemeasure ito? parang emission test uli? kasama nanaman sa registration? pang pagulo lang yan at mas marami nanaman maibubulsa nila.

siguro naman pag OEM foglights/horns ndi na kasama. i think it complies to international laws na yun.

Dati na ipinagbabawal yug foglights above the normal headlight mount. Kung meron man dapat daw ito covered when inside the metro. Pero kung at level or below the normal headlights, nasa batas po ito dati na pwede gamitin. Law enforcing lang ang kailangan.

Auxiliary driving lights will not be banned. Remember there is a difference between fog lights and driving lights.

Sa horn issue, tanggalan muna nila ang nuisance PUVs and dapat hulihin ang mga illegal loading/unloading, kaya lang naman nagbubusina ang private cars sa dahilan ng abala ng mga PUVs. Kung stricto lang ba sila manghuli ng mga erring drivers all over the metro hindi na sila mahihirapan pa gumawa ng batas.

Para namang di pa tayo nasanay sa ating sariling bansa, puro pakulo sa simula lang mga yan, pag tagal tagal, pwede na rin kahit pa sabihing illegal "daw". :?

Yung MMDA naman talaga... di pa nakuntento na gawing one-way ang mga nananahimik na roads (like Ortigas area, the area near ABS-CBN, the Roces-Pantranco intersection), ngayon pati mga "loud horns and non-essential accessories" pakikialaman.

like what cardsVR said, there have to be guidelines and a foolproof method of testing if the accessory is "illegal' or not. Take horns for example: the news article said that MMDA would allow loud horns if these are used by trucks coming from the provinces because they are necessary on the highway. So where does that leave motorists like me who also frequently travel to the province... may we have those bad, noisy horns or not???
