00:00Meanwhile, the Senate approved the mandatory installation of a speed-limiting device on trucks and buses to avoid accidents on the road.
00:09The Department of Transportation plans to force trucks and buses to install it.
00:15We have first live news, Bam Alegre.
00:17Bam.
00:22Good morning. Is this a speed limiter to avoid accidents on trucks and buses? That's what we asked in Cali.
00:30In response, the Committee on Public Services of the Senate, mentioned by the Department of Transportation,
00:41will now implement the long-standing road speed limiter act of 2016, or RA 10916.
00:47According to this, the speed limiter should be installed on trucks and buses to control their maximum speed up to 90 kmph.
00:55According to the DOTR, this should be installed to stop or reduce accidents on the road involving buses and trucks.
01:02If we ask the truck driver, Edmar Vicente, he believes that this is an additional safety measure.
01:07The driver of the bus, Arman Alvisor, believes that this is better if they are not in a hurry while driving.
01:13It is more consistent and closer to the accident.
01:16If we ask another bus driver, he says that there is no need for a speed limiter,
01:22and that it is just an additional expense because the speed limit is expensive.
01:25In fact, the speed of the buses in EDSA is already slow.
01:28Jello Mirana, a commuter, is now asking how the buses and trucks will deal with the bumper-to-bumper traffic here in Metro Manila.
01:36Here is the statement of those we talked to.
01:40It can also be done, sir, so that there is no...
01:45Those who can drive fast, those are the ones who...
01:49If the brakes are gone...
01:51It can also help, sir, because it avoids accidents.
01:53The speed limit here is 30 to 40.
01:57That's how fast it is.
01:58The speed limit is set to 15 to 20.
02:02So that...
02:04So that when the bus arrives, it will have a passenger to pick up.
02:08It's not very applicable here, and there's a lot of traffic here, sir.
02:11Sir, the DOTR is conducting a consultation with stakeholders,
02:16especially to ensure that this technology is up to date.
02:20This is the first news from Kalungan, Bamalegre, for GMA Integrated News.
