Land Transportation Office: comments, issues and concerns

[rjo]

mas maau na, kuwang ra gani na! mayta gi tripple pa nila, para dili na mo violate jud ang drivers sa law, even naa corrupt na mo dakop, if dili ka mo violate wala sila ma kuha gkan sa driver and ang driver wala jud angay ka hadlokan, even if 20,000 pa na ang minimum violation fee... mga driver diri gud ganahan og barato na fee ra para ok ra mo violate, mga gago kaau, esp. some taxi and jeepney drivers na harass and wreckless kau mo drive nya mao pa mag isog2, then og maka bangga na, pa luoy2 dayn kay walay ika bayad

err.... wrong that's why we have agency and dept to separate other's job from the other... still lot of people don't get the real point... the gov't maybe one but the job is not... that's why they are divided into "specific" agency and dept...

I'm for this. Daghan abusado nga drivers gud. Maayo nalang ng naay mupugos nila to clean up their act. Para dili sila maapektaran, simple ra man ang buhaton. Mu-obey lang sa traffic rules and regulations, and that's it. Wala'y problema.

And, as pointed out sa other Istoryans, maayo pud unta nga dili mu-abusar ang traffic enforcers ani. They're not exactly known as the most honest people around, but it would be better if they clean up their act pud. Dili i-abuso ang power and authority.

Everyone should do their fair share lang unta.

An pag abusar sa mga traffic enforcer lain nah nga issue. Dili natu idungan nah. Basta an kana pag pataas sa multa is an First step para sa solution sa problem sa atu kadalanan. Now after ma implement nah, isunod natu dayun nsad an problema ana mga abusado nga enforsers. Step by Step bah. dili isagul...

[doydi]

nindut nuon na para wala nay mag inabusado nga driver

[em_b]

Just my point ha...

Its not man lang funds from LTO, or funds from DPWH ang questionable when it comes to asa na padulong. even funds sa ATA. Have you wonder aha padulong ang minillion na terminal fee?

BUT THIS IS NOT THE POINT HERE.

When you implement a penalty or a sunction, the main objective is to PREVENT SOMEONE FROM DOING IT. So why put a price na kaya ra sa bulsa? Put a price wherein we will be wary to comit such offense, wherein if we violate, we will feel the pain and regret what we have done. I saw the schedule of penalties in sunstar issue today,

driving under inf of drugs from 2,000 to 10,000 automatic revocation of license.
what is unfair about that? surely we dont want someone driving in the influence of drugs.

driving under the influence of liquor 2,000 to 5,000
again, how many accidents involves drunk driving? clearly, the 2,000 penalty before did not prevent them, hopefully this will.

without license? 750 to 1,500
why the heck will you drive without a license?
common scenario will be a drivers failure to carry his/her drivers license, right? well, thats not the same as drivers without a license. it falls on failure to carry a licence and just 200 pesos sunction for that.

These are really fare rates uy. And why should we worry if we consider ourselves law abiding citizens?

Drivers' rally leaves thousands stranded
By Ferliza C. Contratista and Aj De La Torre Updated March 17, 2009 12:00 AM

CEBU, Philippines - Drivers, who took part in yesterday’s protest action against the increase in fines on traffic violations, face sanctions as thousands of commuters were stranded despite the announcement that there was no transport strike.

Commuters from the cities of Cebu, Talisay and Mandaue and those from nearby municipalities were affected by the drivers’ protest as several joined the march from Fuente Osmeña while others decided not to ply their routes.

An irked Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña has asked the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to take drastic action, possibly to revoke the franchises of those jeepneys where the routes were crippled.

I SAY YES TO FINE INCREASE!!! PARA MATAGAM UG MA DISIPLINA. this is the only way. sa Manila mas mahal paman gani cguro ang fines...

I agree:

(1) driving under influence of drugs from 2,000 to 10,000 automatic revocation of license.
what is unfair about that? surely we dont want someone driving in the influence of drugs.

BUT how will u know on-the-spot if a driver is on drugs? kad2ng mag overspeeding? like one suspected of using one has to undergo a drug test? what if wala diay nigamit but nasobrahan lng ug kape? and if then, what about the time lost of the driver?

(2) driving under the influence of liquor 2,000 to 5,000
again, how many accidents involves drunk driving? clearly, the 2,000 penalty before did not prevent them, hopefully this will.

BUT how will u know the alcohol in his blood exceeds the limit? kanang mag ikis2x ug mabangga na? AFAIK, in the U.S., a driver can have a little drink but not too much to exceed the set alcohol level in the body. They use some kind of gadget to measure by breathing into it.

(3) without license? 750 to 1,500
why the heck will you drive without a license?
common scenario will be a drivers failure to carry his/her drivers license, right? well, thats not the same as drivers without a license. it falls on failure to carry a licence and just 200 pesos sunction for that.

Yes, this is fair enough. why the heck will u drive w/o a license (unless nkalimtan ug dala)? doesn't make sense at all.

nagstrike di? mura man og wala.

1. Everybody knows it's illegal to drive without license.
2. Under the influence of liquor - di mabayran ug kwarta ang kinabuhi nga maamong.
3. Under the influence of illegal drugs - the more consequences, basin mangidnap na ug babaye para gang bang.
4. PUJ out of line route - common sense.

so i think it's just reasonable.
matud pa, nganong gituyoan?

therefore naay possibility nga ang mga nangusog ug supak ani kadtong mga palahubog, mga adik, ug mga way lisensya.

LOL...I agree.

there are already drug testing kit that are available in the market. I am not sure if the one being used by the random school drug test and random barangay drug test is the same kit that is already available in the market wherein you can have the results in seconds, comparable to instant pregnancy tests. But surely when you are arrested for drunk driving or arrested for driving in the influence of drugs, it would not be the same as just issuing you a ticket and let you drive afterwards. They can very well detain you, for a reasonable period of time for them to conduct tests and maybe for the violator to prove otherwise. It doesnt mean if we dont have the same gadgets that US is using right now, we cant already implement the same law. We can very well rely on resources available to us right here and right now.

There are lots of incidents wherein a person will drive without a license. Minors, usually are committing such offenses. Or just plain lazy to get a drivers license. Nakalimtan is not the same as you do not have a license. It means to say that your drivers license is not in your possession.
