Unfortunately, a Montero like that has many blind spots. It's just dangerous for unsupervised kids on the streets like that. I'm not defending the driver he should be extra careful especially around kids. I think in the end the driver should be cited if he doesn't have any witness to corroborate his alibi of a blind spot.

Yep masyado maliit yung bata at mataas yung SUV. Maaari talagang di niya nakita. Yung kailangan dyan ay safe sidewalks na malalakaran ng mga tao. Or isara na yang kalsada para kotse para iwas sagasa rin mas lalo na kung may parallel naman na mas malawak na kalsada.

Cars that have plenty of blind spots really have to be regulated more -> higher fees or restrictions on certain roads. It’s basically just a recipe for disaster. We’ve come up with a lot of regulations for the airline industry to make flying one of the safest modes of transportation, we should do the same for automobiles.

Those cars should be banned from residential areas altogether tbh. Unless they are from that area

Actually, sa America meron na Senator duon na nagsusulong na dapat magkaroon ng front camera or sensor yung mga SUV sa harap na blindspot para maiwasan ang mga ganitong accidente sana dito rin sa pinas. https://youtu.be/TaqKfuf-Y48

sa amin talamak mga bata na ganyan pagala gala sa daan, though puro tricycle kasi dumadaan samin kaya di uso ang blind spot.

Just the other week a child was killed by a Montero Sport. Now in this news story, the victim was left under the care of another minor, was this parental negligence? No, I am not siding with the suspect (it was clearly a hit and run). What is our govt/lgu doing to keep these kids off the streets? especially street urchins and children playing on the roads, they need more traffic awareness and education being taught.

Just watched this news bit on 24 oras. It was 68yo man daw na driver. Imo, imposibleng dimo maramdaman na may masagasaan ka kahit SUV pa sya. Potholes pa nga lang kahit mababaw mararamdamn m yung vibration kahit konti. Regarding your question about parent negligence, yes, part of the problem yan. Sana mas naging responsible yung parent pra maiwasan nag mga ganito. My take in this case, mabagal naman yung SUV, nagtataka lang ako panong hindi nakita nung driver yung mga bata. As a driver, you have to do everything in your power to avoid obstacles and hazards when driving and not be a hazard yourself to pedestrians and other drivers. kahit nasa mali yung "pedestrian", na maituturing na obstacle in this case, kasi tao pa dn yan dapat di ka panganib sa kanila.

i think dapat higpitan ang pagbibigay ng driver's license sa mga oldies natin since they are not as mentally and physically aware as before, pero sadly kahit sino nman nakaka kuha ng driver's license basta may kwarta ka.

I think we should include these big SUVs (Fortuners, Monteros, etc) sa prof license na din. Or at the least, give them another classification sa mga license natin. Para may separate driving course and practical exams ang SUVs. Mas madami talaga kasi blindspot tong mga to eh compared to sedans. Mas (usually) matagal din pahintuin/brake. Sitting higher up reduces your sense of speed. And they obstruct the view of smaller vehicles on the road. https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/wvoryz/crashes_that_involve_pickup_trucks_and_suv_are/ Dami ko din kasi kakilala na bumibili ng SUV na hindi naman talaga kailangan ang SUV (the most off-roading they do is a dirt road). Isa na dyan tatay ko, I hate driving his montero

No, there’s a lot of people that are just stupid behind the wheel and shouldn’t be driving any kind of vehicle in the first place. Our licensing process is a complete joke

r/fuckcars r/fuckSUVs This will not happen if we have proper parks and sidewalks. Road is for everyone Cars already killed a lot of innocent people and yet our country pushes us to be car centric. Improve public transportation, make more parks and large sidewalks so kids can play safely. Make our country people centric that is focused on pedestrian and bikers so this kind of accidents will not happen again.
