I have heard two accidents with riding in tandem coupes which resulted in the deaths of riders: one in Muzon last week. The riders overtook a truck and were surprised by incoming vehicle and were dragged several meters by the vehicle that struck them; then other was in Lipa City yesterday. The couple, about to be married overtook a vehicle, lost control, and struck a post. The lady companion died on the spot, while the driver died in the hospital.
Overtaking RIT could be dangerous:
1. The power to weight ratio has changed and the MC could not do the overtaking safely (unless you have a 400 cc big bike)
2. The balance of the bike is altered and thus it is easy to lose control.
So Mayor Ben Abalos was right in banning RIT in Mandaluyong. It is for safety purposes. (Some are complaining that it is a violation of constitutional rights. - Do you wish you were alive with out your constitutional rights
