House Bill No. ________

HON. RAMON N. GUICO JR. 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
Road crashes involving motorcycle riders in the Philippines is becoming rampant. It may be 
caused by errant driving such as passing through sidewalks and driving in between lanes on highways. 
It may likewise be triggered by simple accidents which are unpredictable. 
Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough that traffic regulations must be implemented more 
strictly. Further, the State must gradually promote laws that will keep-up with the changing times so that 
new rules can be implemented appropriate enough to safeguard motorcycle riders. As a big step, this bill 
is being filed to strengthen Administrative Order AHS-2008-15 issued by the Land Transportation Office 
particularly on its definition of lane splitting. 
Since the government has already made moves to make our roads safer for motorcyclists by 
establishing motorcycle lanes, passing in between vehicles moving on the same direction must be 
prohibited.
