Transcript

00:00We will investigate and judge the incident that happened in front of the camera.

00:06No one is safe as long as caught on cam.

00:14Egan caught on cam, a passenger jeep that counter-flowed on the Sumulong Highway, St. Paul, Rizal.

00:22The jeep almost crashed into a motorcycle and SUV before it hit concrete barriers.

00:29With a strong impact, the jeep collided with a truck and collided with a vehicle on the other lane.

00:37According to the authorities, the jeep lost its brakes.

00:40Ten people were injured because of the incident.

00:46Another caught on cam.

00:48Last night at 1 p.m., the jeep lost its brakes.

00:52And another jeep crashed into a vehicle on Recto Avenue, Manila.

00:57Six vehicles were involved in the incident, including a motorcycle that collided with a jeep and a delivery truck.

01:07Ten people were injured, six were taken to the hospital and two are in critical condition.

01:13How can we avoid this incident and what can we do in this situation?

01:19We will answer that with the head of MMDA Special Operations, Gabriel Christian Go.

01:25Good morning.

01:26Good morning, Igan.

01:27And of course, to all of our viewers this morning.

01:30All of these incidents are due to the loss of brakes.

01:35Are all of these included in the jeep of modernization?

01:39I thought it was already modernized.

01:41With the loss of brakes, what are your investigations?

01:46What are your answers?

01:48What are their defenses?

01:50What are the solutions?

01:51Well, first of all, when it comes to road safety,

01:56we can avoid accidents like jeeps.

02:02Although, we don't expect accidents.

02:05But there is the essence of preventive or prevention is better than cure.

02:11So even in vehicles, it is applicable.

02:14With the loss of brakes, we can prevent it.

02:16How?

02:17With the so-called preventive maintenance check-up,

02:21especially for public vehicles,

02:23it is not just one, two, or three people who are driving there.

02:27Sometimes, it's more than ten.

02:29Like in this case, what happened in Antipolo,

02:31more than ten people were driving there.

02:34Which is, we should have this preventive maintenance check-up.

02:38Before going out, right?

02:39Correct.

02:40We should have what we call responsible driver and responsible car ownership.

02:45Those are the arguments.

02:47That's why the frankies are taking revenge.

02:49Sir, in our first video,

02:52so that we can explain it in detail,

02:54that jeep, when it lost its brakes,

02:57it chose to counter-flock

03:00and go against the barrier

03:02compared to the many other disgraces.

03:04When the brakes are gone,

03:06what should it do?

03:07Should it go against the barrier?

03:09Or what else can it do?

03:11What else can it do?

03:12Well, that would be...

03:14like this.

03:15Let's take a look.

03:16We can see that this is the jeep that counter-flocked.

03:18The least or the last thing that we will do

03:21is to counter-flock against other obstructions or other vehicles.

03:25That's right. It's a barrier.

03:26This is a barrier.

03:27But this is the last thing that you should do.

03:29Why?

03:30Because the lives of the passengers in this vehicle are at stake.

03:34What if when you counter-flock against a concrete barrier,

03:36you fall down?

03:37So that is one safety issue that we are looking at.

03:40That's why when it comes to...

03:42especially for public utilities,

03:44this jeep,

03:46it should have a driver's education.

03:49It can be reduced or stopped

03:53not only by counter-flocking.

03:55It can be reduced when it comes to shifting to low gears.

03:58That is one of the lessons when it comes to safety driving.

04:02Especially when the vehicle is manual,

04:04you can shift to low gears.

04:06Yes, you can shift from low to high

04:09until the vehicle slowly stops.

04:11But in this case, we can see that the driver was left with no choice.

04:15He has no choice.

04:16He made a decision.

04:17He made a decision.

04:18When he came here,

04:19he was allowed to enter because this area is already heavily trafficked.

04:23This area is more dangerous.

04:25Because this is a head-on situation.

04:26If the vehicle is counter-flocked,

04:27how many vehicles will be affected?

04:28There are trucks, jeeps, vehicles, or even worse, motorcycles.

04:31So, he had no choice.

04:32He was allowed to enter because it is spacious.

04:34But as we can see in the video,

04:36there is a leeway in this area.

04:39Which leads to the grass area here.

04:42Okay.

04:43So, there is a possibility that if the driver knows to shift to low gear,

04:48he will slowly enter this area.

04:50There is no barrier here as we can see in the video.

04:53If he enters this area,

04:55he could have stopped the car or the jeep without being hit.

04:59So, there is a chance of collision.

05:01Yes, there is a chance of collision.

05:02We will see that in the video.

05:03So, that's one option that we can see how he can stop the vehicle.

05:07Is that a jeep without a handbrake?

05:09Doesn't it have a handbrake?

05:10Yes, it has a handbrake.

05:12But then again, at the end of the day,

05:14it narrows down the maintenance of the vehicles.

05:17Yes.

05:18Especially, those are public vehicles.

05:20Let's move on to the second video.

05:22A jeep that lost its brakes

05:24and hit the parked vehicles at the intersection.

05:27If the area is like that,

05:29the intersection,

05:30and the brakes are gone,

05:31what should be done to reduce the disgrace?

05:35Like that.

05:36Actually, there is a slight difference here in our illustration.

05:40Supposedly, this jeep is here.

05:43The jeep should be here.

05:45The jeep is here,

05:46and the e-bike is here.

05:48So, we can see in the video,

05:50the jeep hit the e-bike,

05:52it hit the middle of the road,

05:55and there is a truck here.

05:57Okay.

05:58The jeep is lucky because there is a truck here.

06:01So when the jeep hit the truck,

06:04it stopped here at the intersection.

06:07It was the one who stopped the jeep.

06:11And we're very glad that this jeep runs slowly.

06:14If not, it would be worse.

06:16We can see in the video,

06:17if this jeep is too steady,

06:19it could have been worse that the jeep did not hit here.

06:22It could have gone straight.

06:24The e-bike might have been hit.

06:26Or worse,

06:27the jeep hit the truck,

06:29and these vehicles are put in danger.

06:32The impact is different, right?

06:33Yes, the impact is different.

06:35But then again,

06:36we are now talking about preventive maintenance.

06:39And also,

06:40there is what we call driver's education.

06:43Because if our driver knows how to shift into low gear,

06:47the damage to the e-bike might be minimized.

06:52We should tighten the...

06:54Before giving a license,

06:56we should go through a strict education.

06:58Well, that's true.

07:00For drivers, there should be a proper driving education.

07:04That's why we have what we call driving schools.

07:07We learn proper road etiquettes,

07:10proper traffic signages,

07:14we learn those.

07:15And of course, don't forget the regular maintenance.

07:18That's true.

07:19It can be done daily, right?

07:20Well, if it is a public vehicle,

07:22you should check it every time you go to the garage.

07:25Brake fluid,

07:26rubber,

07:27because all of that,

07:28it narrows down to the safety of your passengers.

07:30And even for the driver,

07:31he should have enough sleep, right?

07:32That's true.

07:33Thank you very much, Sir Gabriel Christian Go,

07:35Head of our MMDA Special Operations.

07:37Always be careful, fellow passengers.

07:39Accidents or crimes,

07:40we will investigate them

07:42because this is just the beginning.

07:44And one day,

07:45there will be no more blind spots

07:46when it comes to safety.

07:48We will learn that here at Caught on Cam.

07:52I'll be back in a minute.

07:55Caught on Cam.
