#Motorcycle barrier

Earlier this month, the IATF has decided to allow motorcycle back riding for couples, with a few restrictions. The IATF said they are lenient when it came to the barrier used. According to Eleazar, "As long as ito po ay kahawig, kawagis o kapareho ng ating mga prototype—na inilabas naman pati sukat, measurement at mga gamit—iyon naman po ay ia-allow natin." Eleazar did, however, remind people that motorcycle back riding is only allowed for married couples, common-law couples, and live-in partners. Following the IATF's decision to allow motorcycle back riding for married couples, common-law couples, and live-in partners, Angkas has submitted a new prototype for a physical barrier worn by riders. One of the requirements set by the IATF for back riding is a physical barrier between the passenger and driver. Angkas' design is a backpack-type barrier with safety handles towards the bottom. The sides and top also fold outward towards the passenger, which should alleviate problems that flat-panel barriers have.
