00:00Here are the incidents that were caught on camera.
00:04Maybe it's an incident that needs to be investigated and we should be happy about it.
00:07There's no list, it's just caught on cam.
00:13Every car that was caught on cam in Gimbal Iloilo, an SUV,
00:18has been overturned several times after being hit by a passenger jeep.
00:23Based on the investigation, the jeep overtook a tricycle before the SUV was hit.
00:29A motorcycle rider was also involved in the incident.
00:32Both vehicles were unharmed.
00:34And the vehicle was being repaired.
00:38Caught on cam.
00:40In Kalasyao, Pangasinan, a car overturned and rolled over.
00:45A cyclist was also hit.
00:48A cyclist was hit by a car before he was hit by a car on the side of the road.
00:54The car overturned and rolled over.
00:57The driver's wife, who was driving the car, was also hit.
01:00She was then taken to the hospital.
01:03Based on the investigation, the driver tried to avoid the woman crossing the road on the pedestrian lane.
01:09The driver, cyclist and the family of the woman crossing the road were arrested.
01:18How can we avoid such accidents?
01:21We are joined by Gen. Antonio Pagulayan, the head of the Traffic Education Division of MMDA.
01:27Good morning.
01:28Good morning, Ian and to our viewers.
01:32Sir Antonio, in the first video, the vehicle overtook.
01:35If it will overtake on the road, how can we avoid it?
01:38That's always the reason. I overtook and I was able to avoid it.
01:42Well, it's a good question, Ian.
01:46I just want to clarify that there are two roles.
01:50Both drivers have their own roles.
01:52The first one is to overtake.
01:55The second one is to overtake.
01:58In this video, we can see that the jeep overtook.
02:06So, the first thing that a driver should think of when overtaking is on the left.
02:12The driver did the right thing.
02:14But the law says that if there's a collision, you shouldn't overtake.
02:20That's the second thing.
02:21So, you should only overtake to the left.
02:22The second thing is that when you overtake, you should move to the side.
02:27Move to the side.
02:28You should move to the side, to the right.
02:31And you should let the driver overtake.
02:34Ah, okay.
02:35But let's remember, Ian, that the law has restrictions.
02:41First of all, you can't overtake in Corbada.
02:43You can't overtake in Pacquiao, uphill traffic.
02:48So, there are two lines, right?
02:49Yes.
02:50Just like in our illustration.
02:52Let's remember.
02:53Assuming that there's no line, because of the law, you can only overtake to the left.
03:01But the law says that if there are two or more lanes, you can overtake to the right.
03:05Just like in our illustration, there are four lines, two lanes per direction.
03:11So, for example, you can overtake here.
03:13Assuming that there's no line, you can overtake to the left or to the right.
03:16Okay.
03:17But here, there's a line.
03:18This means that there's no overtaking zone.
03:20Okay.
03:21So, even if you don't have a collision, because of the law, you shouldn't overtake.
03:26Okay.
03:27So, in our video earlier, there's no line.
03:30So, he overtakes.
03:31He might have a collision.
03:33Those are the restrictions that we're talking about.
03:35If there's a collision, don't overtake.
03:38In the second video, Sir Antonio, a woman tried to avoid a collision.
03:44What should we do in this situation if there's no pedestrian lane, right?
03:49Anyway, the law says that there's a right of way.
03:55Always pedestrian.
03:56If there's a pedestrian lane, it's a pedestrian.
03:58Okay.
03:59If there's no pedestrian lane, it's a car.
04:01Of course, it doesn't mean that if there's no pedestrian lane, we can just overtake.
04:07Now, what we're saying here is that if you're in a commercial area or residential area,
04:16you have to follow the speed limit.
04:18That's what we're talking about.
04:20So, the pedestrian is being avoided.
04:22What about the cyclist?
04:23What about the position of the cyclist?
04:26If there's a collision, the car is being avoided.
04:29What about that?
04:30Okay.
04:31Assuming that the cyclist…
04:33The problem we had earlier in the video was that the cyclist was in the wrong direction.
04:38So, he was in a collision.
04:40That's why he was avoided.
04:41Yes, he was avoided.
04:42So, here, in this situation, for example, assuming that…
04:46Our illustration is beautiful.
04:48There's a pedestrian lane.
04:49What we always tell the drivers is that if there's a pedestrian lane,
04:55of course, you have to overtake even if there's no one.
04:57Make it a habit to follow the speed limit.
04:59Because we don't know that there might be a collision.
05:02So, there's a pedestrian lane.
05:03You have to stop, register your speed, and if there's a collision, you have to overtake.
05:07Now, for the cyclist, it looks like he's in a collision.
05:12So, that's why we always say that you have to be in the right direction.
05:18You have to go with the flow of traffic.
05:21That's what we're saying.
05:22And we always make sure that when you're riding a bike, you're visible.
05:26That's why we encourage all of us who ride a bike to wear colorful clothes.
05:32To be seen.
05:33To be seen.
05:34And, of course, it's very important to be alert at all times.
05:39And, of course, add the catch.
05:41I haven't seen anyone catching someone overtaking.
05:44Right?
05:45If it's not an accident, you won't notice that you're overtaking.
05:48It's just a reason.
05:50Yes.
05:51Actually, Egan, overtaking, we have a requisite.
05:53We say that when you overtake, you'll see how good the driver is.
05:59That's why we don't encourage you to always overtake.
06:02Because it's very risky to maneuver.
06:05Don't chase the time.
06:06You might be chased by death.
06:08It's important.
06:09If you're in danger, don't do it.
06:12And if you're not given, don't do it.
06:15Let's remember that.
06:16Thank you very much, Sir Antonio Pagulayan, the head of the Traffic Education Division of our MMDA.
06:22Egan, accidents or crimes, we will investigate.
06:26Because from now on, there's no blind spot when it comes to safety.
06:30We will focus on the caught on camera.
06:56Bye.
