In response to the increasing crime involving back-riders on two-wheeled motorcycles or the so-called ‘riding in tandem’, Sotto has recently filed the No Motorcycle Back-Rider Act of 2014 which seeks to “stop this evil Batman and Robin tandem for good.”
S.B. No. 2344, or the No Motorcycle Back-Rider Act of 2014, aims to prohibit back-riders on two-wheeled motorcycles or scooters. This bill also gives law enforcers the authority to flag down a suspected driver and question them.
Section 3 of the bill states that “no back-rider shall be allowed on a two-wheeled motorcycle or scooter unless the passenger is the spouse, child or parent of the driver.” The prohibition, however, “shall not apply to members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police while on official duty and in uniform.”
Violators, upon conviction, will be penalized by imprisonment or a fine of not less than Php20,000 for the first offense and an addition of another Php10,000 for every succeeding offense.
“This may be frowned upon by some members of society, but we have to think of the higher good of protecting the life and limb of our citizens,” Sotto added.
BS law,., bakit di mga pulis latiguhin nyo?,., i mean, papatay nga cla, tapos sa tingin mo sotto matatakot clang labagin itong batas mo?
Ang problema sa bansa natin, dumadami un mga mangmang na botante. Na siyang bread and butter ng mga corrupt politicians! Para malutas ang crime rate, mag issue ng National ID. Dapat pagkapanganak pa lang sa bata may ID na. May limit ang anak ng bawat pamilya! Pag sobra sa limit kulong ang mga magulang. At panghuli i-limit ng gobyerno ang pag issue ng plate para sa mga motor at ang pagbebenta ng motor sa metro manila!
Di nyo na maisasakay mga tsiks nyo nyahahaha
Haven’t read the said article but the title…this is a BS law. What if they are not riding together? 2 motorcycle team tandem?! Edi mas mahirap silang hulihin coz isang nagmomotor na may kaangkas di nila mahuli, dalawa pa! Make a law that police visibility will be 100% palage and 24 hours….which it should be! Grabe talaga magisip itong mga pulitiko natin! It’s the fault of the madlang Pilipino who voted for this people and now we are all suffering!
Dapat may plate din sa harap ng motor kagaya sa India… pero it still boils down to the efficiency of the PNP.
ipagbawal na ang 2 rider sä motorcycle para tapos na, better yet ipagbawal na yan pesky motorcycles
Gusto mo ipagbawal ko buhay mo, b0b0 mo.
mag electric bike na lang ako. d kailangan ng LTO registration at license…
Another copying by Sotto !!!
This is already an ordinance, and will be implemented in Mandaluyong.
What will he copy next?
Expect gunmen to ride in from instead of the back. LOL
