Senator JV Ejercito stated on Monday that the Anti-Lane Splitting Bill and the idea of required club registration for motorcycle riders might potentially increase traffic and damage courier and delivery services, which are highly important to the economy.

The Anti-Lane Splitting House Bill No. 1419 aims to fine motorcycle riders who attempt to pass between lanes of traffic on the same road, particularly when there is heavy traffic.

In contrast, House Bill No. 32 requires motorcycle riders to sign up for recognized groups before registering their vehicles or renewing their licenses.

In a news release on Monday, he stated, “Rest confident that the two proposals – the Anti-Lane Splitting and required participation in groups – from Congress, I will not support (them) and make sure it doesn’t pass in the Senate.

Ejercito stated that lane-splitting decreases motorcycle riders’ exposure to pollution, inclement weather, and other hazardous components by cutting down on the amount of time they spend in traffic.

It would be preferable for the government to provide regulations on how to execute safe lane splitting or lane sharing rather than outright forbid it. Let’s always concentrate on improving the safety of our roads, he stated.

The senator claimed that the proposal discriminates against motorcycle riders by claiming that most motorcyclists cannot afford to purchase more expensive cars while other types of vehicles are exempt from the rules.

Worse, the implementation of new rules and sanctions specific to motorbikes will have a greater negative effect on riders who are less advantaged financially.

According to Ejercito, a motorcycle enthusiast, the other plan that compels motorcycle riders to join approved clubs would move law enforcement authority from traffic enforcers to motorcycle clubs, create another layer of bureaucracy, and increase motorcycle riders’ costs.

“Let’s refrain from imposing additional costs on our fellow riders. With the current pandemic, our economic condition is already challenging, Ejercito remarked.

Instead, he urged Congress to give Republic Act (RA) No. 11235, often known as the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act, top priority.

A radio-frequency identification scanning system would take the place of the mandated installation of bigger license plates in front of motorcycles under Senate Bill No. 159, which Ejercito introduced as one of his priority bills for the 19th Congress.

Additionally, the legislation aims to lower the fines listed in RA 11235 and bring them into line with those imposed on four-wheeled vehicles.
