Not a good day for us motorcycle owners... this helmet law is another burden to majority of motorcycle owners, first buying a first class helmet is very expensive and this type of issuance (ICC) stickers will only benefit the law enforcers who in the 1st case are the ones not wearing helmets. Double penalty must be implemented to those law enforcers not wearing helmets.
Oh sige mayaman ka na and afford mo bumili then paano naman yung di maka afford? Wag na lang mag motor? Dapat applicable lang yan sa mga dumadaan sa NLEX at SLEX. Kung dito lang sa Metro Manila, Kahit mumurahing helmet, di kayang bumasag ng bungo dahil sa bagal ng takbo and kahit gaano man kamahal yan eh useless din pag nabunggo ka ng truck, ang pinaka safety na meron tayo is DEFENSIVE DRIVING TECHNIQUE!
Sabi ng iba... "for the safety naman po un, let's look on the positive side and not the negative one"... oh ok, let's say that I do own a helmet and DTI approves it as it was safety daw, and then nabangga ako ng car or jeep, or even worst ng truck, maililigtas ba ko ng ICC sticker na yan? NO!!! does it make me a superman sa kalye? NO!!! kasi kahit gaano ka pa kaingat at gaano pa kamahal helmet mo eh tao ka lang din.. ligtas nga ulo mo, pero ung katawan mo paano?
I myself admit that I can't afford to buy an expensive helmet, but, I can always make this possible and purchase it! Pero how can I assure na maililigtas nga ako ng helmet na yun? I think it's not a matter or price eh, kaya kung gugustuhin bumili kaya lang wala naman talagang assurance kung ligtas ka eh.
Well, maybe, gusto lang talaga ng gobyerno natin na pahirapan yung mga motorcyle owners na gaya ko, imagine, pag sa mga checkpoints, instead na OR/CR and driver's license lang ipapakita mo eh nadagdagan pa? Kung gusto nilang manghingi ng pera eh sabihin na lang nila 'wag yung pinapahirapan pa eh... tsk! Hirap kasi sa bansang ito eh mahirap na nga, ginagawa pang corrupt! shet!
Anyways... wala naman na tayo magagawa, what's been done is done! So for those motorcyle owners like me, be sure to wear your helmet na lang and bring some money just in case may manghingi! ayt!!!
