No Cellphone While Driving Law starts on May 18

Better if they do infographics so everyone will know what is allowed and bawal.

From JD

Hopefully we get this straightened out once and for all. Thanks DOTr.

Ito kaya huli bukas? Or the classic "naghahanap buhay lang kami"...

[yebo]

btw, kung nanghihinayang kayo sa dashcams why not improvise yun ginagawa ng mga motor nakakabit sa helmet, so hiramin nyo na lang headband ng gf or sister or wife nyo tapos dun nyo i-mount yun dashcam nyo

palibhasa ikaw laging may head band.

I suggest you print a copy of Republic Act 10913. I have attached the link below. It pays to have in your hand the extent of the law to bash any misinterpretations.

Below is stated what comprises distracted driving. The use of dashcams is not within such extents. Dashcams are hands-free devices, they are not mobile communication devices nor an electronic entertainment/computing device.

Sec. 4. Distracted Driving. — Subject to the qualifications
in Sections 5 and 6 of this Act, distracted driving refers to the
performance by a motorist of any of the following acts in a
motor vehicle in motion or temporarily stopped at a red light,
whether diplomatic, public or private, which are hereby declared
unlawful;
(a) Using a mobile communications device to write, send,
or read a text-based communication or to make or receive calls,
and other similar acts; and
(b) Using an electronic entertainment or computing device
to play games, watch movies, surf the internet, compose
messages, read e-books, perform calculations, and other similar
acts.
Sec. 5. Extent of Coverage. — (a) The operation of a
mobile communications device is not considered to be distracted
driving if done using the aid of a hands-free function or
similar device such as, but not limited to, a speaker phone,
earphones and microphones or other similar devices which
allow a person to make and receive calls without having to
hold the mobile communications device: Provided, That the
placement of the mobile communications device or the
hands-free device does not interfere with the line of sight of
the driver.

with this implementation on May 18, does this mean they will also apprehend dark tints now?

[sphinxz]

No they won't. At least not at the same time with this.

What a relief. But I don't think they'll get to implement this anyway.
