POLL: Robert "Blair" Carabuena lifetime ban on driving - too harsh??

[ghosthunter]

Do you think a lifetime ban on driving was too harsh a penalty of Robert 'Blair' Carabuena for the attack on the MMDA officer?

[xninjax]

Too harsh..

I would agree with a 2-3 year license suspension

[oj88]

Yes. I think that, though he should be rightfully punished, banning him for life from driving would be overreacting. Especially since he has since then already made a public apology.

We've all seen people on the road who did a whole lot worse get away with no more than a slap on the wrist.

[Gumusut_Amige]

too unforgiving, a couple of years DL suspension would do... just curious meron na bang precedent ito?

[Just]

meron nakakasagasa at namamatay ang nasagasaan pero tumatakas, di man lang nila habulin. yan ang i ban nila license lifetime.

[skybison]

OA eto, isipin nyo na lan that he's also a car enthusiast like most of us here. Can you live without driving your beloved rig for life? Hehe, agree - a few months will do.

i dont really care...but it is what it is...hinde na siya makak drive.

Paano kung kayo ang matsambahan niya sa kalsada at sampalin din?

[foresterx]

i agree that it's too harsh. bakit yung mga sira-ulong puv drivers di tanggalan ng license? mas delikado pa ginagawa nung mga tarantadong yon kesa kay carabuena.

[vinj]

I think it's an offshoot of their not attending the hearing or something.

If they do the same to the sira-ulong PUV drivers then i'll be quite happy.

yun naman pala eh, mukhang ayaw na rin niyang mag drive kaya hinde nag attend ng hearing sa LTO

[ben_david19]

2-3 years of banning will do na. lifetime ban for driving is harsh.

[glenn manikis]

yun naman pala eh, mukhang ayaw na rin niyang mag drive kaya hinde nag attend ng hearing sa LTO

ayun naman pala eh... considered waived na ang opposition ni carabuena kung ganun.....

[Ry_Tower]

Too harsh but considering na hindi nga sumipot sa hearing si Blair, aggravating circumstance nga malamang as vinj pointed out. Pero sana hinabaan na lang. Precedent case din kasi ito. But it does serve a purpose. From now on, all rage drivers will have to reaalllllllllllly think long and hard before cofronting another driver.

[chua_riwap]

Ayos yan......

[vinj]

But it does serve a purpose. From now on, all rage drivers will have to reaalllllllllllly think long and hard before cofronting another driver.

If there is one thing about this, maybe it can indeed help save life and limb later on by preventing road rage from occuring. If Mr. Carabuena is really sorry for what happened and wants to do something about it, perhaps he can make that his calling by giving his time to promoting road users education... it's not about how hard you fall but how you get up right?

[Mguy]

In as much as he became the poster boy of all road rage drivers, I guess this should be the proper punishment for him. Sure it is harsh, specially for all of us here that can't imagine not driving our cars anymore. But if you think of it, how many times did we wish of some drivers na "dapat di na nagmamaneho yah eh". Well, eto na yun panahon.

[Ry_Tower]

... perhaps he can make that his calling by giving his time to promoting road users education... it's not about how hard you fall but how you get up right?

Amen to that bro.

[baludoy]

it may be a knee jerk reaction for the unfortunate fool, but if it means one less a-hole off the roads, then so be it.

[xninjax]

Let him take public transport so he can slap those undisciplined PUV drivers too
