I posted an article years ago about this so called Pedestrial Lane Violators, and it seems that there was a positive changes of behavior when it comes to the PUJ drivers, maybe because of the recent increase in traffic fines or for whatever reason, basta I observed that many of them stops at the right line in the middle of the road when the traffic lights turned red.

Well...I hope motorcycles rider too will also stop these stupid-***** kind behavior. Mao nang giingon...nganong magpatunga man kung asa manlabang ang mga tawo? Di klaro ang linya? Dont you know dakpononon ka kung manakop dyod? Do you need a college diploma to understand your violation?

See these pictures para maklaro nato akoa gi-mean.
(Red lines was put to indicate asa ra dapat kutob ang mga motor pagstop sa traffic lights)
But everyday we saw these kind of riders doing these kind of stupidy. Ambot ngaaanooo!!!!

Hope in humanity ended.

Before I give my opinion, let me state that I have driven both a motorbike and 4-wheeled vehicles. Now to state the obvious, this is a very good observation. I'm pretty sure drivers and pedestrians alike notice this as well, but passively consider this as a society norm. These are probable reasons:

1. Empathetically speaking, motorcycle drivers can't stay in a lane since most drivers of 4-wheeled automobiles try to nudge and occupy their space.
2. They want to get ahead of others (especially in cases of heat and/or rain).
3. Absence of education, lack of education, or misuse of education.
4. The practice of moving forward has been a habit and imbibed into culture.
5. Driving a motorcycle gives you the notion that you could fit anywhere.

Dont you know dakpononon ka kung manakop dyod? Do you need a college diploma to understand your violation?

It is also important to note that regardless of the number of wheels, some vehicles stop on the pedestrian lanes. Addressing the drivers is a good start, but it will also expedite the process if our traffic enforcing agencies would be strict in implementing the law. Other than the junction box and pedestrian lanes to be void of vehicles, there are other traffic laws that even enforcers are oblivious about. Hence, they don't know if it's a violation. While a college diploma is not a requirement in most countries, I guess it's not a bad idea to have that restriction in the Philippines. On a wishful thinker's point of view, this I know is best but I doubt legislators can pass such law.

There are other concerns that I have with "some" motorcycle drivers (this also applies to 4-wheel drivers):

1. Trying to squeeze in a small path between cars, increasing risk of damaging adjacent vehicles. (Even mini cars, both private and public, create an exterior third lane in traffic)
2. Occupying a fast lane while running at 45kph.
3. Swerving without signal.
4. Swerving at the area in-front of the traffic light. (Traffic lines, lanes, and signage are created for a reason)
5. Absence (or refusing to turn on) of headlights and taillights.
6. Headlights put on high beam.
7. While in heavy traffic, they tend to pass in the opposite lane.

While this is largely the motorists responsibility, here are some solutions:

1. Driver education
2. Creating a separate lane for motorcycles
3. Strict and consistent implementation of the law
4. Automatic traffic systems (e.g. monitoring of violations as they happen in real time)

All-in-all the consensus is, that the Philippines is a very dangerous place to drive. In a separate thread, I have given my piece on how to handle the motorcycle situation in Cebu and somehow ease the traffic situation.

Now that we've covered the motorcycles, how about we get started on "trisikads" and tricycles as well?

Gitugot na sa uban inforcer para ma compress nila ang uban four whells, sahay sila mismo ang mopasibog samga nagnmotor diha, na experience nako na sa makadaghan hifayon, mao naanad nalang siguro ang uban

tinood ni, mismo ang mga enforcers ang magpasibog sa mga nagmotor para ang mga 4 wheels maka occupy sa space. Unia dili lang ang mga nagmotor ang mo buhat ani, naa say 4 wheels nga molapas.
