Is motorcycle riding really dangerous? Cars Philippines

Dangerous, yes. But as people seeks cheaper means of transportation and the convenience of riding a motorcycle, it becomes a necessity in which people overlook it`s consequences. lalo na kapag walang protective gears na suot ang rider. Kailangan rin lang na magkaroon ng disiplina ang mga riders at ingatan ang sarili nila sa pagmamaneho. as observed, makakita lang ng konting espasyo in between vehicles ay sumisingit na ang mga motorsiklo which is very dangerous for them. Ingat lang talaga ang kailangan at prayers bago bumyahe.

tama ka diyan sis, kaya nga ako pag naka motor di nako gaanong sumisingit eh

There are many ways to prevent accidents, one would be to implement stricter laws against drunk driving, another would be motorcycle lanes so as to lessen if not eliminate filtering, stricter guidelines and tests(written/actual) for procurement of a driver's license to make sure that everyone really knows how to drive/ride and the current traffic regulations, plus many more!

It is true that discipline starts with one's self. But as observed in many countries, discipline must be instilled and exerted by a governing body, as we all have a devil inside of us that sometimes needs taming even if we are all literate and educated.

medyo delikado talaga kasi kahit anong ingat mo kung yun sa harap at likod mo hindi aksidente pa rin...

napakadelikado talagang magmotor kapag hindi ka marunong..

Good day Sulitizen. I agree with the others, it is more riskier to ride on the motorcycle. I have friends in the US and here in the Philippines that all have a record of an accident riding the motorcycle, they themselves are the one who told me that it is risky, and they advised me not to get one, because accident will happen and no matter how good you are to drive the motorcycle and even wearing safety gears, you will still going to get an accident. I am a Licensed Embalmer, and just last year alone ; we have 5 cases of motorcycle accident, 2 of them have a safety helmet, most of them died of the head injuries. One of them is a motorcycle mechanic and he tried to test the motorcycle he repaired, according to the witness :when he is about done testing the motor bike and ready to go back home, when he tried to put up a brake because a tricycle is about to hit him, the brake failed and he slam in the steel post and rolled and his head hit the sidewalk pavement, it took him 3 weeks , 2 surgery in his head, and a cost of about PHP 1.5 Million pesos hospitalization before he died.  My nephew he got a motorcycle and I keep telling him it is too risky to ride on one of those, its up to him and he is old enough to listen to me or take the risk and I told him that I will not help him to defray his medical expenses in case he got injured in a motor bike accident. Take care, be safe, and God forbids an accident.

nasa nagmamaneho naman po yan wala sa kung ano ang dala mong sasakyan kapag maingat kang magmaneho less ang chance na madisgrasya ka

di nmn na kailngn itanong p yan kasi tlagang delikado nmn tlga lalo pag nkita mo ung record sa MMDA pinakamadaming namamatay sa motor dahil mnsn lasing

dangerous in the sense that you are most vulnerable to accidents than any land transportation, but closest thing to flying and an inexpensive motor vehicle.

yes, it's really dangerous, para sa akin.....lalo na pag walang suot na helmet ang nagddrive....

TS

are you foreigner just asking???

delikado nga po yung ganyan.kahit saan my naaksidente niyan.konting ingat lang sa driving wag masyadong mabilis.kase dalawa lang ang gulong mo.masama niyan pag manipis pa.

any vehicle is an accident prone vehicle. What differs from the other is their safety and accident protection capability. A car doing 60kms/hr hitting a concrete barrier would most likely to survive than a motorcycle doing 60 hitting the same concrete barrier. There are more risk in a two wheeled vehicle than in four.

Dangerous yan kung hindi maingat... :)

nope! pure Pinoy here! 

it's really the driver that makes motorcycle riding dangerous.

dangerous ang motorbike kung hindi expert ang nagmamaneho at kulang ka ng protection, saka under the influence of alcohol.

basically hindi naman delikado ang pag gamit ng motor, nasa driver lang yan then plus factor yung walang allotted na line para sa mga nag mo-motor.

This is so true, riding/driving and drinking do not mix.

I agree, it is dangerous although every aspect in life has its own danger, even while asleep is dangerous you might not wake up one day. :D

Honestly, everythink in life has it's own advantage and disadvantage - that is on my own point of view off course.

But what I want to emphasize is that no matter what your ride is, it is on who ride's it !!! ;)

Thanks,

Chris
