Ban Motorcycle - Gordon

Baguio City - In the wake of reports that most assassins use motorcycles and are never caught, Sen. Richard Gordon said he had filed a bill seeking to ban motorcycles that lack identification from the streets. In a press forum here on Friday, Gordon said the bill aslo seeks to require motorcycle drivers to wear helmets that bear the vehicle's plate number and driver's name. "Nobody can ride a motorcycle without a written plate number and name on the helmet. So if there is a driver who is running his motorcycle without his helmet, we can stop him and ask 'Do you have a gun?' if he does not meet the requirements, then he has a violation," he said.

if proper logic will be followed then we will have to paint all the cars with plate numbers on the sides like the taxis plus have the name of the registered owner painted too........

Lumang kwento na kasi yan. Panahon pa ni Marcos may discrimination na sa mga sumasakay ng motor, naranasan ko nang bata pa ko may naka motor na malaki tumabi sa isang kotse at bigla na lang pinag babaril yung nsa loob ng kotse. Sa harapan pa ng tindahan ng tatay ko nangyari yun. Pero hindi ko naman linalahat na naka motor assassin, kasi yung mga collector ng tatay ko naka motor din. Ang problema kasi, kailangan may "fall guy" kung may nangyayaring masama. Lalo na kung di mahuli ang may sala. Ang nangyayari kasi kapag di na nagagampanan ng mga nasa may position ang kanilang katungkulan binabalik sa tax paying public ang "burden" at responsibilidad.

May nakikita akong mga Police bike sa kalye at malalakas ang mga makina (400cc). Siguro naman kayang humabol sa mga ibang motor yan at sa mga 4 wheels.

such inefficiency in the enforcement of laws and orders are being blamed on somebody else.. us the motorcycle riders..

i hope our govt officials think of better ways to solve the curb of criminality in the metropolis..

[jojo]

i hope james mirasol post the picture of gordon riding a harley without any helmet in makati during the bike week a couple of years ago

he showed this at the motorcycle safety convention last weekend

Same old story. Incompetent law enforcement - dream up crazy schemes that wont work. Punish the innocent and cause all sorts of problems for them while the real criminals sit back and laugh at the show.

Motorcycle related tourism would be killed permanently by the guy who once promoted tourism.

If you borrow a bike you would either have to use the owner's helmet (that probably would not fit) or buy another helmet and ruin it by painting numbers on it. If you change your bike you have to buy a new helmet(s) or paint over the old number and repaint the new number on your helmet(s). If you have more than one bike you will need multiple helmets and only wear the correct helmet for each bike. The paint would almost certainly seriously effect the strength of the helmet thereby putting riders at greater risk.

I think its time we started proposing similar schemes for other vehicles.

Car drivers should wear hats with their plate number clearly marked on both sides so we can see if they maybe stole the vehicle to do a robbery. If they are not wearing a matching hat they can be stopped and asked if they are carrying a gun.

Ban all jeepneys, and tricycles because they are the main cause of traffic congestion.

Ban all diesel vehicles because diesel vehicles are the vehicles most often used to cause polution that probably kills more people than crooks on bikes.

Buses should only run at the same times as the trucks because they are similar vehicles, they cause a lot of congestion and polution and average about 170 times more accidents per vehicle than bikes. They definitely kill far more people than crooks on bikes so they should be banned anyway.

Pedestrians should wear hats with their name and address clearly marked on both sides so when they cause accidents by jay walking we would know who they are.

Of course we could instead ask why the law enforcement people are incapable of enforcing the law and try to do something about it. We could even ask the motorcycle community for help instead of sh!tting on them at every opportunity. We could ask why so many MMDA, PNP and other traffic related officers just stand around watching and doing nothing while drivers blatently break the law. But that would be asking too much. It is much easier to blame the bikers because they can't fight back - or can they?

There is some light. This is not properly announced yet but the MCPF has been formally requested by the Office of the President to prepare a policy paper for motorcycle use incentives. At last the government are starting to seriously listen to us. Of course that doesn't mean they will actually do anything but it is a huge step forward.

[psycho]

Goes to show the level of education these politicians have. If I remember correctly, Dick Gordon was a biker, and during the BMW Motorrad launch here in the Philippines, he headed the motorcade without a helmet. He almost dropped the bike too. The problem they don't want to address is Police visibility. What's the use in having so many laws when there are no cops around to arrest the crooks! The Full-Face Ban, Backrider Ban, and this new one shows how reactionary and stupid these lawmakers are. Pretty soon, they'll require us to file a flight plan for everytime we ride our bikes. The growing discrimination of motorcycles is very anti-poor and selective. These issues will have to be addressed before they get enacted into law or it'll be a bitch trying to reverse these rulings.

[mistahsuave]

Wow, talk about STUPID lawmakers!!! Why not BAN FLYING AIRPLANES BECAUSE OF RECENT CRASHES

But when reading this ... GEEZ, natulala ako !
I agree with BoyG's point.

[wasted_23]

hehehe.... si senator talaga oh! ndi na lang magwalis ng magwalis sa wow philippines at ayusin ang mga sumbrero ng mga katipunerong nagbabantay dun.

[black_hawk]

Taxes are being paid to support the goverment in servicing its citizens and yet, they can only give us a kind of service that are not even sought. Please correct me if I'm wrong, mc riders are also tax payers. And these "Lowmakers" just showed us that they are only capable of imposing laws/ordinances that are against tax payers. A Fullface Ban, Backrider Ban, and this new one will never protect any Juan dela Cruz from harm!!! How incompetent can you be? And since you can't do your job, why not lessen the taxes and give us the right/permit to carry guns and shoot the bad guys to protect ourselves and our loved ones!

two words for you mr. senator - DICK head! :i

OT: Definition of Tax - burdensome or excessive demand

[black_hawk]

hey dick... you should know that aside from passion, we ride mcs for economic reasons. let us save some hard earned pesos so we can still buy basic commodities and pay for your incompetent services!!! :M

2nd post ko na po... sensya na, jst cant bear it anymore!

[Enyong666]

Sen. Richard "THE DICK" Gordon =

IDi-oT F@T B@$T^RD!?!

You're brain seems to be located between your thighs... No wonder you screwed up in your hometown greedy boy.

[nid4spid_04]

guys, let us give the dick some breathing space...

remember he is a politician (translation = no brains, greedy, "buwaya"), and he is a businessman. what better combination than a self-serving, self-righteous, ambitious idiot! the same with most of the politicians we have now who, in the pursuit of staying on top of the headlines, introduce ridiculous and senseless laws and policies insensitive to the needs of the people!

I diligently pay my taxes, instead of getting safer roads, safer streets, better services and other essentials aimed in improving the quality of life, i get slapped with laws as stupid as this!

maybe the dick would be producing his own line of helmets and helmet-specific paints /aerosols thus he is pushing for this bill... crazy, but with the kind of politics and politicians that we have now, this is not far from happening!

[Brisk48/1]

I think we are all fed up with this problem.

The problem is due to those crooks that use motorcycle as means of transportation to do their crimes. We must not sit down and just let them ruin further our image as motorcycle riders; we should address this problem ASAP! Or else there will again be more bills and ordinances against us that may or can be filed by those double faced ignorant politicians and public servants(kuno) who discriminates us.

We as a biker community should launch an effective legal campaign (anything in any form or actions) that will make those motorcycle riding crooks think twice before they use motorcycle as means of transportation for their crimes. We must fight them now before it’s too late.

This requires collective effort from all off us. Suggestions my fellow bikers…

Thats the funniest thing I have seen this week

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

On the serious side (I am still laughing) we do need to try to help these senators and counselors.

[FORZA]

All I can say not another DICK politician banning bikes what next we're riding bicycles pretty soon???

[R-1]

this proposal to ban motorcycles can only come from someone who dosent ride motorcycles!. If we find someone in government who loves bikes lets support that person.,. well there are some movie personalities who ride bikes..

[a4tech]

maybe MON Tulfo can help us out..he used to ride a MOTORCYCLE..I tHINK he rides it all the time.... thou he is not in the GOVT but he's in the media...

Kung wala naman talagang helmet yung rider, dapat naman talaga siyang hulihin. I think there is no need for a new bill, it's supposed to be a law already. Para ke pa't malakas mangotong ang mga pulis ng riding without helmet?

And kung masamang loob nga talaga yung hihintuin nila, palagay ba nila hihinto nga yun at makakapagtanong pa sila ng 'Do you have a gun?' Sheesh!

Mr. Senator konting utak, wag yung diskarte ni Jawo sa dying seconds ng mga laro "wala nang isip-isip, itira mo na lang". Pam-basketball lang yun!

- it is time we FIGHT BACK and ASSERT OUR RIGHTS TO RIDE OUR BIKES WITHOUT PREJUDICE and DISCRIMINATION.

i think its ok, BAN THE MOTORCYCLE THAT LACK IDENTIFICATION from the streets. but to put a written plate number or a name on the helmet? exaggerated naman yun. my thread na rito na STICKER a NO-NO to ZEUS helmet. i started it a long ago, na ang ZEUS helmet ay hindi pwedeng pinturahan o lagyan ng stickers (di ko lam sa ibang helmet) so ibig sabihin kahit delikado sa rider pipilitin nila lagyan? o dapat bumili ng ibang helmet na pwede pinturahan o lagyan ng sticker.

hay naku, kung maganda economy natin mababawasan yang mga hired killer na yan.
