Anti-Drunk Driving Bill

4 bottles of beer drank in 2 hours will raise the blood alcohol level to 0.05... so pwedeng-pwede pa!

i just hope that the test-kits would be reliable and not tinkered by the enforcers.

for sure dami enforcers na mag-aabang sa kabilang kanto ng mga bars.

It would be epic to see drunkin crazy drivers kicking the checkpoints and seeing behind bars together.

and who will implement it once it becomes a law?
ang daming mga batas but ask those people who should implement it, siguradong sila pa pasimuno na violator. like smoke-belching, non-wearing of helmet (cops wear caps), no license plates, etc.

[ghosthunter]

I am for this if it gets proper implementation. But it would require gadgets including breath analyzers. Another kick-back potential for those providing these for the government.

[Monseratto]

All for this, sana they also included private motorists who get caught to spend time behind bars... I wonder why they have to trumpet pandak's name?

[shakatak70]

Ok ito basta ba walang kikilingan at implimented properly with correct tools, gadget at proper training ng law enforcement unit tungkol dito.

Baka ma-amoy lang ng LE na amoy chico kalaboso agad kahit walang test na ginawa.

Stiffer penalties for drunk, drugged drivers pushed | Inquirer

In filing House Bill No. 11187, Anakalusugan Rep. Ray Reyes seeks to amend provisions of Republic Act No. 10586, or the Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013, and even change its name to the “Anti-Impaired Driving Act.”

This would raise the minimum jail time for drunk or drugged drivers who cause physical injuries from three to 12 months and impose fines of up to P1 million for those who commit homicide.

Violators also face a 24-month suspension of their driver’s licenses, with a succeeding offense meriting perpetual revocation. HB 11187 likewise seeks to amend Section 9 of RA 10586 and require the Land Transportation Office and Philippine National Police to acquire and maintain an “adequate” number of breath analyzers and drug-testing kits.

At the end of the day, the big question is implementation. AFAIK they don't do checkpoints in other countries but rather pull over motorists who exhibit symptoms of driving drunk.
