HARI NG KALSADA?
Everyday, I rode on a jeep. It took me about 35 minutes travel from Minglanilla to Cebu City. One of the things that I have noticed was the sprinting of public utility jeep especially the PUJ for Carcar, Sibonga route. I bragged them as risk takers. They really are. They have the edge to be the “HARI ng Kalsada” (King of the Road).
Gone are those days that the “Chariot” is being marked as the King of the Road for its structure and considered as one of the products made by Filipinos. But now, it was changed. It was change to a canter; elf or we call it mini bus. Due to its built, engine performance and risk taker drivers, they have the spirit to soar you in your specific destination without compromising your time.
However, the question is; is it safe to ride that kind of jeep? The answer to that question is absolutely NO. No, because the driver doesn’t follow the road law, specifically with the violations of “68D overtaking at an unsafe distance” and “55 reckless driving”. This is always what they did especially if the area is too wide like in Lipata, Minglanilla. I even experienced this, one time when I drove my car. I and my husband had almost met an accident for the mini bus crosses the next lane. They even put their lights in high. They were not afraid because they really want to tease the other driver; second they were huge compared to other vehicle.
The drivers became so abusive since the penalty of that violation is only 150 pesos for overtaking at an unsafe distance while 1000 pesos for reckless driving. Nevertheless, they should think the consequences might happen. They should also think about the safety of their passengers and co – drivers.

Thanks visited my blog. Goodnight and success for you.
I love your blog! I am originally from Lawa-an, Talisay! I totally agree with you with those abusive drivers. I think each and everyone should petition to enforce the road rules and raise the penalty fees. Also, they should eliminate those unsafe public transportation operating in the road each day? Honestly, the goverment should provide and operate the public trasportation such us big buses with route code number so it would eliminate the traffic and accidents. It would also provide a great employment opportunities for drivers from the goverment and help the economy. Just like here in the U.S. very organize and well deciplined drivers. Road enforcement will provide safety for everyone!
Good day everyone! Thanks for visiting.
Good day to you.
The reason for your query is obviously all the sausages and cheese.
