Motorcycle problems in the PH need to be addressed

If anything they should at least limit motorcycles to be allowed only on roads where tricycles are also allowed. They are way to dangerous to themselves and to other motorists to be in highways and national roads.

I love motorcycling but I hear you and the others regarding the menaces it brings (in our country). Please keep in mind though that generalizing and stereotyping is not a good way to go. Sure there are a handful or a bunch of them that you can see within the day for being rude alone but come to think of it, why in the first place are they given licenses let alone not get apprehended at all for being a wannabe stuntman. I even took the law into my own hands and beat someone up in Julia Vargas for being such an arse, the pasaway riders are the ones giving us normal and conforming ones the bad raps. Simple question, do you really think once a crime is about to be commit-ed, that the perpetrators would follow the 30KPH? We alone have a lot of riders not getting apprehended for having no plate registration. I recall also that someone in Jade Palace got killed in broad daylight by a walking man – yes, no motorcycle. It’s the absence of a proper cure for the crime problem which is policemen roaming the streets with motorcycles and a long rifle. Let’s see if criminals would still dare within the patrol area. And for the traffic/basic road courtesy issue, I’m there for harsh implementation of the already existing laws like we will all take a serious exam to prove roadworthiness and revoke the license of those who don’t pass. I’m very confident that this would solve your woes with regards to the asshole riders since they would not have a license to be on the road. No to bandaid and stupid solutions please. Implementation is key.

I love bikes, but not the low end one that are below 200ccs, yung iba kasi feeling sports yung unit nila tapos ang ingay lang pag pinilit nila, plus hindi sila build for speed kaya prone sa out balance tapos chipipay pa helms na gamet, wala din, deads din. Well, di nman natin sila masisisi, di naman lahat may kayang bumili ng kotse eh, moderation at disiplina nalang tlga.

Paano kung yung killer e sa bisekleta na nakasakay ng magkaangkas babawalin na rin ba ang riding in tandem sa bisekleta.. haha, inutil na gobyerno!!!

Dapat bawal motorcyles sa major roads like EDSA or C5…

Have you noticed motorcycles sa ibang bansa lalo na sa mga major roads nila?

Sorry to tell the author but please be well informed. It’s not very wise to provoke motorcycle enthusiasts like us and make your earlier claims to make an article about the new introduced i-Road.

Tell me one thing you hate about motorbikes that other form of vehicle on the road doesnt do? All forms of vehicles nowadays can be used for crimes.

—“they’re not the safest vehicle in the road”
-nor a 10 million peso SUV, a sports car, a bus or whatever vehicle is not safe. You can easily kill more people and cause more damage using other vehicles.

—“accidents are frequently associated with them,” – why singling out motorbikes? You are too narrow minded to only see what the media is showing you. Imagine how many people get injured /killed if you compare it vehicle to person ratio. I’d rather be hit by a motorbike than be hit by a bus, a jeep, SUV, sports car, truck etc. All other vehicles are more frequently associated with accidents, and most of the time more deadly and bloody.

—“rowdy motorists cut impatiently through traffic” – because that’s what their meant to be! Imagine a bus, a jeep, SUV, sports car, truck etc cutting through traffic, and they do if you don’t know. That would be, again, a deadly and bloody scenario.

—“& they’re often tools used by criminals riding in tandem.” – how many times has their been a shoot out or rob out or any of those bloody killings on the road that may or may not include the police force? Is any of those involve a motorbike? How frequent had it happened compare to those involving other vehicles?

Motorbikers are one breed of sensible people. They ride for sensible purposes, traffic, gas price, parking, mobility, availability, cost, lifestyle and freedom.

It has pros and cons but so other things. All we bikers are asking from the masses is fair treatment and proper implementation of sensible laws and rules that is considerate to all others. Don’t single us out.

You have just lost one reader/believer (a long time) of this site…

Don’t worry, I will plug this article to our club as well…

Ignorance at its best!

I own a car and a motorcycle. But like some of the previous commenters, I use my bike more because I save more (time and money).

I see Mr. Freking’s point of view. I just don’t like the way he said it.

Please be more sensitive to your readers.

Wow, one sided. Don’t forget some of those biker guys you are stepping on with this kind of articles are actually owners and drivers of cars as well who just prefer bikes over their SUVs/cars/vans since the traffic is really bad and costs of riding 4 wheels mostly alone on the road anyway costs more than using their bikes. And if some of you are stereotyping all bikers as poor guys financially, boy you are wrong. Some earn the 6 figures, own businesses, and have multiple houses and vehicles but yet you will see them riding their scooters/underbones/standard bikes looking like just any other common joe on the road just because they love the bike, just because its faster through traffic. Regarding accidents, its a two way street, it’s not always the fault of the biker when the accident happens. And for those griping about traffic filtering/lane splitting the bikes are doing, it is because that is what it was made for, to get through traffic and it is a LEGAL road maneuver, it just requires the rider to execute it carefully and smoothly. Unfortunately not all bikers know how to do it well.

that Toyota i-Road will cost millions hahahah
though, i’d love to have one :-p

LTO is to be blamed here.
they’re still giving driver’s license to people who don’t follow the rules of the road!
pwede kasing maglagay dun sa issuer ng license.

they don’t have any mandatory test to see if the driver has the psychological capacity to be a driver on the road.

di mo naman nasagot ang issue. Balik ka ulit sa punto ko.
Parang inamin mo na rin na kung hindi ka nakamotor, ay hindi mo mararanasan ang mga kalungkutan mo sa daan.

masasabe kong totoo naman na mas delikado ang motor generally,pero hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon delikado sila kasi masagi lng sila ng kaunti tumba na kaagad eh pag nakakotse pag nasagi eh gasgas lang. pero nasa driver din yan,naka volvo ka nga(w/c is considered one of the safest cars in the world) d ka naman nakaseatbelt at mabilis ang takbo mo…anyway against ako dun sa ibang suggested rules:
1.wearing of white helmets & numbered vests = di ko lng alam kung bakit kailangan dapat white ang helmet,para makita p rin kahit gabi?eh kahit naman makita nila e helmet pa rin ang nakikita nila, hindi mukha…ung numbered vests naman eh madaling gawan ng peke, kawawa naman ung mga inosenteng tao na ginamit ang number nila sa isang krimen kahti na hindi naman talaga sila un…tska as if naman ung mga magnanakaw eh magsusuot ng ganyan
2.the registration of helmets with the police & the baranggay – eto pabor ako dito
3.speed limit of 30kms/hour – WTF?!?bumibili nga ng motor para mas mapabilis ang byahe dahil mas maliit tas lilimitahan ang bilis…kung 60kph pede pa mapagusapan eh kung 30kph para kang kasali sa isang funeral procession tsktsk tska delikado din po ang mabagal na takbo minsan kasi mas nakakaantok ang mabagal na takbo lalo nat maluwag ang daan

mr. freacking… wala sa sasakyan yan..nasa driver yan! kung 4wheels or 2wheels man ang dala mo.sa mga kidnapping incidrnt, 4 wheels gamit diba?bank robbers will probably use 4wheels..bkit pagdidiskitahan ng motor!

Nakakatawa mga comment nyo… sa mga nka kotse na hindi pa nasubukan mag motor, subukan nyo muna bago mag comment.. malalaman nyo din na mas mayabang ang mga cage drivers… i too hated motorcycles, until i rode one, then found out why they do what they do.. walang basagan ng trip..

Ang ayoko lang sa mga driver ng motor na hindi marunong gumamit ng light signals. :| Yun iba paa pa gamit sa pag signal. Di na nga halos mapansin pag gabi magugulat ka nalang bigla nalang babagal. Mas ok pa yung mga taxi e, kung mag cut man, pansin mo agad.

Saka wear reflector vests din pag gabi, ang hina pa naman ng rear lights ng ibang mga motor.

Lastly, @All fellow motorcyclist, kung pwede sana sa GITNA(LOOB) NG LANE kayo, hindi dun sa LINE. Yung motorsiklo LANE, ang intindi nyo ata motorsiklo LINE, na dun lang kayo sa LINYANG ASUL nakapirme. 2 Lane yung naaabala nyo sa pag stay sa line.

welcome to YUGATECH (Philippine Technology News and Reviews at iba pa.)

Sa akin, disiplina lang tlaga ang kelangan.

Simple rules nga lang sa one way street, hinde na makasunod, pano pa yung mga major rules.

Suggestion nga na lagyan daw ng plate number ang helmet para huli agad…you think so? Kung gawin nating transparent ang helmet, pede kaya?

Eh yun iba nga, nabalandra na yung mukha sa CCTV camera, di pa mahuli…

Kahit anu pa din kasi, nasa atin pa din talaga eh…disipline for ourselves at turuan ang mga anak natin ng tama. Pede din tyo magtulungan ng disiplina…at sana lang wag tatamad tamad sa pagsunod sa batas…

hi squatter here,

my ride : zx6r
my work : somewhere in makati
my home : valle squatter
salary : 6 digits xxx,xxx (can’t afford ako)

thank you and goodbye.

the best solution? shoot to kill order sa lahat ng motorcyclists na pasaway. mas mabuting ubusin na lang sila. patayin kesa makapatay. mga hampaslupa na nga, wala pang utak at disiplina. mga peste ng lipunan.

Kaya ako, binabaligtad ko din. kapag may pasaway na nakamotor. Kinacut ko din.. hehehe. Para maramdaman niya ang feeling ng nagugulat. Madalas semplang sila. goodluck sa hospital.

I own car & bike, unfair naman ng article na ito ginawa lahat riding in tandem lahat ang nagmomotor. Pero nasa driver ang disiplina. Sa akin nga ang pinaka pasaway ay ang mga driver ng public transpo from tricycle up to busses.

BOB FREKING IS CAUSING RAGE IN THIS BLOG. Isip2 naman Bob

Wag tayong maghusga agad sa mga may motor as thieves, killers, etc. Eh mas malaki ang nawawalang pera sa bansa natin dahil sa mga magnanakaw at holdaper nasa
Congress na hindi nagmomotor. I think its just a matter of proper law enforcement like in Davao, di uso ang criminals sa kanila. Magmotor ka sa Davao with helmet, pero no-no ang criminals on motorbikes.

After reading all these, one thing I’m sure: Yikes = Bob Freking. Message me Bob, I’ll make you realize what you’re saying. You know, YOU NEED BALLS TO RIDE A BIKE. SURELY YOU DOESN’T HAVE THAT. (But I’m sure you love those, right?)

We can’t afford to get more law enforcers and equipments because we’re losing BIGTIME! B for billions a year! Susmaryosep! Dahil sa mga curropt govt officials natin. Kaya ipapapasan nalang sa lahat ng naka-motor ang gastos at abala dahil sa iilang Kriminal. Erap? PNP chief? Pwede patingin uli ng record nyo?! Ilang milyong motor ba meron sa pinas?Ano ba kasalanan ng riders at kelangang madamay sa gawa ng iilan? Tama nga na madaming pasaway na riders, ganun din naman ang drivers.

Eh kung yung nawawala sa bayan ay ipinambili nalang ng motor panghabol sakay ay matitinong pulis riding in tandem. Ewan ko lang!
