Woman Argues w/ Traffic Enforcer After Caught Driving E-bike Without License
A woman got into an argument with a traffic enforcer after he caught her driving an e-bike without a license.
An e-bike, short for electric bicycle, is a type of bicycle that is powered by an electric motor instead of relying solely on human pedaling. These bikes typically have a rechargeable battery that provides power to the motor.
It offers an alternative mode of transportation that is environmentally friendly and can help riders cover longer distances with less effort.
Recently, Facebook user Francisco Lemuel shared the video of the incident on social media. The video immediately spread like wildfire on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
In the video, the woman can be seen getting upset after the enforcer apprehended her for driving without a license. She insisted that she was only going to buy soft drinks.
The woman explained that the place where she bought the e-bike told her that a license wasn’t needed because it runs slowly. She also argued that it’s private property, so she shouldn’t need a license.
“Sabi ng opisina hindi na daw kailangan ng lisensya dyan, bat hinahanapan nila ng lisensya ang driver kaya’t private property di ba? Ibig sabihin tayong mga Pilipino wala na tayong karapatan na bumili ng sarili nating e-trike,” she said.
The woman expressed her frustration and questioned why they were being asked for a license. She also criticized the government’s management.
“Bakit kailangan ng lisensya dito? Bago naming binili yan sinuri naming sa company dahil hindi kailangan ng lisensya dahil mabagal lang ang takbo niyan , o bakit ngayon hinhanapan kami ng lisensya? Palpak na pamamahala at pagpapalakad ng gobyerno,” she added.
The video’s caption reads: “galit na galit c ate dahil huhulihin Ang service nya Wala dw syang papel Kasi private dw Ang sasakyan”

Sa pagkaalam ko po, mahigpit na ipinagbavbawal ng LTO ang mga Tricycle na tumahak sa National Highway.
Last 2-weeks ago ay nagbabala po si DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos na ipinagbabawal na po mga Tricycle at E-bike na tumahak sa National Highway.
Dahil marami na pong namamatay at aaksindente na mga Tricycle sa highway o sa mga pangunahing kalsada.
Karamihan po sa kanila mga Tricycle ay mahilig tumahak sa gitna ng highway at hindi po sila agad mapansin ng mga mabibilis na sasakyan lalu na po sa gabi,karamihan sa kanila pundi po ang mga Tail Lights.
