Confrontation Between Kamote Rider and Traffic Enforcers Highlights Need for Traffic Discipline
A kamote rider goes viral and elicits reactions online after tearing up the violation ticket he received from a traffic enforcer.
A recent incident involving a motorcycle rider and traffic enforcers has once again brought attention to the issue of traffic discipline and the importance of adhering to road rules. The incident elicits comments from the online community.
The confrontation, which took place on Sunday, July 9, 2023 along EDSA, serves as a reminder that everyone must follow traffic regulations to ensure the safety and efficiency of our roads.
The Facebook page ‘Department of Transportation’ shared a video capturing the confrontation between the motorcycle rider and the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic (I-ACT) members who apprehended him.
The rider, whose identity remains undisclosed, was seen to be uncooperative with the enforcers and even went as far as tearing up the traffic ticket he had received.
The motorcycle rider’s actions came after he was caught using the bus carousel lane, a lane designated exclusively for public buses, ambulances, and government emergency vehicles.
As a result of his multiple violations, the kamote rider now faces legal charges. The charges include disregarding traffic signs, failure to wear a standard helmet, failure to carry OR/CR, unauthorized attachment of a license plate, and reckless driving.
Here is the full post:
“Nag-amok ang isang kamote driver matapos hulihin ng mga kinatawan ng InterAgency Council for Traffic – IACT (I-ACT) dahil sa pagbaybay sa EDSA bus carousel lane nitong Linggo, ika-09 ng Hulyo 2023.
Pinunit pa ng driver ang violation ticket nito, at tinangka ring agawin ang kanyang lisensya mula sa I-ACT.
Dahil dito, patong-patong na paglabag ang kahaharapin ng driver kabilang ang mga sumusunod:
1. Disregarding Traffic Sign
2. Failure to wear standard helmet
3. Failure to carry OR/CR
4. Unauthorized attached plate
5. Reckless driving (lane straddling)
Mahigpit namang ipinaaalala ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) na ang EDSA BUS Carousel lane ay nakalaan LAMANG sa mga pampublikong bus, ambulansya, at sasakyan ng gobyerno na tutugon sa emergency.
Huhulihin at titiketan ang mga hindi awtorisadong sasakyan, habang haharap sa suspensyon ng driver’s license o report sa taxi ride-hailing services na pinagtatrabahuhan ang motorsiklo.
‘WAG KAMOTE, MAGING RESPONSABLE!”
