Motorcycles

Its apparent on all of us the issues raised against motorcycles, let me enumerate them:

  1. Riding-in-tandem robbers/murderers
  2. Reckless riders attempting to balance another adult, a child, and an infant with several grocery bags to boot
  3. Overly-confident men who rides on the fast lane @ 60 KPH
  4. Riders who thought that wearing a helmet like a trucker cap worn hip-hop style is the new fad (in case you don't know "trucker-cap-ala-hip hop", basically it's a trucker cap placed ON TOP of the head rather than wearing it as it is)
  5. Another overly-confident rider who rides on the opposite lane, in between lanes, at side walks, and crosses pedestrian lanes at the red light acting as if IT WAS THEIR RIGHT TO DO SO
The list could go on and on, but the million-dollar question is...what's the government doing about it? Surely mere ordinances nor a slap on the wrist won't do (Filipinos, by nature, resist authority). Concrete measures, like the ones adopted by our ASEAN neighbors, work better than the current system. Then again, the two-million dollar question is...would those bastards follow it?
