To All Tsikoteers: Let's Do Something For A Change

Guys, for the past few months we have discussed the relevant issues concerning our country... from lack of discipline, traffic, new auto-tax scheme, to corruption, religion, and politics. Through this, we have shown genuine concern for our country. We do have great conversations over the boards but I noticed that we lack ACTION.

All of us have great ideas in mind on how these issues can be resolved, but these ideas need to be realized. So I propose that we do something about it through our own little way.

Since our forum is all about cars and stuff, it would be easier to start our concern with the Traffic. We should conduct an Information Campaign. I believe that the lack of discipline in the streets of Filipinos is caused by the insufficiency of information that they have regarding the Traffic Laws. To start with, we could make flyers made out of ordinary paper that we can give and share to our friends and to everyone else so that they will know the Do’s and Don’ts of Driving.

For example:
1. Always wear your Seatbelts.
2. Do not Block the Pedestrian lane.
3. Pedestrians always have the Right of Way.
4. Keep the Yellow Box Open.
5. Follow the Traffic Lights.
6. Counter-flowing is Illegal.

These things will be explained why they should be done or followed. We can also add some Driving Tips like Fuel-saving Tips, Car Maintenance, Good Driving Habits, etc.

Now, if you will approve this, then the project can be started soon. And if we dedicate some of our time to help in this project then it will surely be a success.

I’m asking for a little help, for some initiative from everyone. If we want to see some development in our country then we should do something. Let us first start with ourselves then everyone else could follow. We should practice what we preach. Let us make sure that we are practicing these information before we pass them on to our friends, and they should do the same. Let us first disregard the jeep, bus, taxi at tricycle drivers, since it would take time and not just a simple flyer for them to understand and follow these.
The whole tsikot community plus all of the other car clubs can participate specially the Diesel Club, they can even spearhead the project.

So what do you think about my suggestion? Will you approve it?
