Make highway crossings at foodstops and fruit stands safe

Wheels of Happiness

Yesterday, I nearly got stuck dead by a speeding Honda City at a Rizal town, while crossing the highway

walking to eat lunch.    As if I am just a duck or chicken crossing.   

First the driver who could have seen me crossing should have slowed down.

Secondly there should be street signs or pedestrian lane across the highway

Thridly I should be aware of such a danger and did no cross if I saw all ready an oncoming traffic.

But many do not stop a pedestrian lane even if before a stop light or intersection.  What happened to 

our motorists who just got a vehicle on instalment and act like a king who owns the road in utter disregard of LTO laws

a) THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE SHALL YIELD THE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE ROADWAY WITHIN ANY MARKED CROSSWALK OR WITHIN ANY UNMARKED CROSSWALK AT AN INTERSECTION, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION

Foodstops destinations: obey the law on Senior Citizen discounts

Wheels of Happiness

A foodstop destination selling exquisite food at exotic prices surprisingly gave only 5% discount on the food without VAT removal.  This is shocking because while we like to see new business flourish we

do not want establishments disregard and disobey the laws of the land

(This post has helped by giving free blog posts.   Seniors must stop patronizing the atrocious practice of such destinations for being unfriendly to seniors and disobedient of the laws)

My daughter requested the owner/admin/cashier to rectify their mistake which they did not.

A BIR or DTI representative may ear in their premises and penalize them generously

It is best to avoid them so that they learn their lesson

Bikers now a political force - one out five households own bikers

Manila Times - many more Filipinos own bikes

A former senator did not get reelected because he offended several million MC riders who were offended by law he passed regarding additional plates for MC.

But now, the bikers who were given bike lanes and being criticized for such a privilege have been increasing in number   1 out of five households own bikes as per survey of SWS:  The bikers are more numerous than car owners;   there are more bikers than there are MC owners in MM.  

Motor vehicle owners MC and autos should be aware of this number as they continue to abuse bike riders

  This is the result of the survey:

The survey found that 29 percent of Filipino households (an estimated 7.3 million) were using bicycles — 23 percent owned the bicycles while 6 percent used borrowed bicycles. Bicycles were being used for essential (21 percent) and recreational purposes (18 percent). Nationwide, households that owned bicycles outnumbered the 6 percent of those with cars by a ratio of 4:1.

The popularity of bicycles was even more pronounced in the National Capital Region (NCR), where 32 percent of households owned bicycles compared to the 6 percent that owned cars — a ratio of 5:1. It is noteworthy that bicycles are the most commonly owned vehicle in the NCR (motorcycles, the second most popular vehicle in the region, are owned by 25 percent of households).
