00:00Some bus companies used to use a speed limiter or a gadget that monitors the speed of the vehicle
00:08even though the DOTR does not yet say that the law for this will be implemented.
00:12But according to a group of truckers, they don't need it anymore because it's traffic.
00:18This is the report of Vona Kid.
00:20In almost two years of Jason Nilo's work as a driver in a bus company,
00:25they are using a speed limiter in the province.
00:30It's better to avoid accidents, especially now,
00:34because suddenly sudden stops can happen.
00:39If we only run at 80 kmph, we have a chance to advance and brake.
00:45This is a big help because our men want their safety when they get on the bus.
00:51If you're safe, the driver won't overspeed.
00:55He will be conscious of the speed of the vehicle.
00:58Another bus company that we visited also has a speed limiter in their bus units
01:04that the passengers can see.
01:06It's safe to avoid accidents.
01:10It's already alarmed.
01:12I've already exceeded my speed.
01:15The installation of a speed limiter device under the Road Speed Limiter Act of 2016
01:20is for passenger buses and trucks to have a maximum speed of 90 kmph.
01:27We are currently implementing the Speed Limiter Act of 2016
01:36wherein big vehicles like trucks and buses
01:41will have an obligation to install a speed limiter gadget.
01:48But for the Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines,
01:52this is no longer necessary because of the traffic on the routes they pass.
01:57Almost all of us truckers already have an RFID installed.
02:03We also have an e-truck that monitors the cost.
02:08The purpose of that is just to monitor the speed so that it won't be a problem.
02:16They have a meeting with the DOTR in February and it's possible that this will be discussed.
02:21We think that it's another burden for the truckers.
