SENATE President Francis \u201cChiz\u201d G. Escudero wants the driver\u2019s license of irresponsible motorists involved in road rage and other vehicular crashes to be revoked to instill discipline on the roads.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cNaging uso na content sa social media ang video ng mga \u2018kamote\u2019 drivers pero sa totoo lang ay hindi nakakatawa o nakakaaliw ang kilos ng mga ito. Ang daming napeperwisyo at kadalasan nauuwi sa karahasan ang mga insidenteng ito,\u201d the leader of the Senate said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cTo ensure that our roads are safe from these motorists, their licenses should be revoked, not suspended,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a driver himself, the Senate chief lamented that road discipline or lack thereof remained the main cause of road problems in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe need to have order on our roads. The lack of discipline among our motorists has become a serious issue. Drastic measures should be taken to restore order and revoking licenses of abusive motorists is a good first step toward achieving this,\u201d Escudero said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the veteran legislator, the 90-day suspension imposed by the Land Transportation Office is clearly not enough as a deterrent against bad behavior among motorists.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt cannot be overemphasized that having a driver\u2019s license is a privilege and not a right. You have certain responsibilities while operating a vehicle,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKapag walang disiplina ang motorista, dapat lang na tanggalan sila ng lisensya,\u201d the Senate leader further said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SENATE President Francis “Chiz” G.
