00:00Incidents that were caught on camera, incidents that need to be investigated and we are happy that no one was saved as long as the cam was caught.
00:13Every roadside accident involving motorcycles was caught on camera.
00:18In Calacio, Pangasinan, a motorcycle was hit by a car.
00:22In the CCTV footage, the motorcycle was seen crossing the road when it was hit by a car.
00:28A critical rider was hit in the head and various parts of the body.
00:34Caught on camera, the rider and his vehicle collided because of a dog crossing the road.
00:41In Talisay City, Cebu, the dog accidentally crossed the road.
00:47Some motorists were able to avoid the dog but the motorcycle did not fall.
00:52It collided and the helmet of the two riders fell off.
00:58Caught on camera, in Tondo, Manila, a rider was killed by a tricycle that counter-flowed.
01:08In the video, the motorcycle suddenly fell and the 10-wheeler truck rolled over.
01:13The victim was tried to be rescued but was later killed.
01:17How can we ensure the safety and safety of motorcycle riders in these incidents?
01:22We have with us Jun Estalio, Director for Road Safety Initiatives and Special Projects of the Philippine Advocates for Road Safety.
01:31Good morning, Sir Jun.
01:33Good morning, Ma'am Susan.
01:35Sir Jun, in the first video, what should you do if you are going to cross or pass through intersections?
01:43If we notice, this is not an actual intersection but it has a solid white line in the middle.
01:52From here to here, it indicates that there are two lines of traffic flow and the other is in the opposite direction.
02:02But our law discourages people from crossing when there is a solid white line.
02:10And that is usually what our motorists disregard.
02:14Maybe they don't disregard it, maybe they just don't know.
02:16Maybe they don't know.
02:18That's why we should continue to inform the public and motorists that this solid white line indicates that it is dangerous to cross it.
02:28But if there is no solid white line, not all roads have it, Sir Jun.
02:32What is the rule that we should follow if you are going to cross a road that has a solid white line?
02:39The safest thing to do is not to cross when there is a solid white line.
02:42Find a safe place where you can go around.
02:46And where it is really safe, right?
02:48Because sometimes people avoid it.
02:50Sir Jun, in the second video, if there is a sudden cross of an animal or a person,
02:55especially if it is a motorcycle, it is difficult to balance and suddenly brake.
02:59What should you do if you see a dog or a cat or something like that?
03:03What should you do, Sir Jun?
03:05That is what we will also notice in the video.
03:07This is just a blur.
03:09But it is clear on TV.
03:10The dog that crossed the road, the motorcycle rider's vision was blocked.
03:15Okay.
03:17That is why he did not expect that there will be an accident.
03:20This is very spontaneous.
03:22This is very sudden.
03:24And we have a rule that we follow here.
03:26It is the thinking distance and your decision distance that you will brake.
03:31He will not be able to do your braking distance here.
03:34Because it is sudden.
03:35It is really happening.
03:37There are stray cats and stray dogs crossing the road.
03:41So we need to be alert, right?
03:43We should always be alert when driving.
03:45Thank you very much, Sir Jun Estalio, Director for Road Safety Initiatives and Special Projects
03:50of the Philippine Advocates for Road Safety.
03:53We will be right back.
