Motorcycles rule Philippines Road

Most Filipinos from now using motorcycles according to LTO ( Land Transportation Office ) 6.2 millions as of 2009; around  3.2 millions to be exact motorcycles had registered in the Philippines. Jeepneys, which fall under the utility vehicle (UV) category, numbered to only 1.6 million last year. Cars, even less so at only around 780,252, according to LTO figures.

Mobility and Purchasing Power

The rise of the motorcycle as the vehicle of choice for many Filipinos and most Southeast Asian countries is caused by the need for personal mobility amid and despite a smaller per capital purchasing power, analysts believe.

According to the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), motorcycles are the most popular vehicles in the region due to their relatively low cost and their ability to bring people from point A to point B in the least amount of time.

Motorbikes are also exempted from the number-coding schemes being implemented by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and most cities in the metropolis.

Motorbikes are also the most fuel-efficient vehicles ever built. Some motorcycles had a ratio of fuel:km (1:60) see how economical the motorcycles.

 
Safety while driving in the road is less. The WHO ( World Health Organization ) has warned that deaths and injuries from motorcycle accidents have become a public health epidemic in many countries in Asia, the Philippines included.

Speeding, the non-use of helmets, risk-taking behavior, and drunk-driving contribute to a significant portion of the motorcycle accidents.

The LTO (Land Transportation Office ) make some ordinances like driving w/o wearing a helmet violators it penalize  with minimum fine 1,500 php to maximum fine of 10,000 php. The Mandatory Helmet Act or Republic Act 10054 was signed by the Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on March 23, 2007.

Even without the law, the LTO has been going after motorcycle riders who do not wear helmets as part of the agency's revised rules and regulations on motorcycles.

Violators are fined P1,500 and are required to attend a seminar on traffic safety management.
