Kamote Driver Earns Criticisms After Hitting a Motorcycle Rider Who Stopped During Orange Light
A kamote driver elicits criticisms from the online community after hitting a motorcycle rider who stopped during an orange light.
Throughout the years, road accident has been one of the most common traffic problems happening not only in the Philippines but also in various places all around the world. It usually leads to traffic congestion, injuries, and even death to involved individuals.
The national government is implementing stricter traffic policies to reduce the increasing cases of road and vehicular accidents but there are still a lot of reckless drivers violating the traffic law, which could lead to accidents.
A Facebook user named Ed Win has shared the video footage of a kamote driver who accidentally rammed a motorcycle rider who stopped during an orange light. The video garnered various reactions from the netizens.
In the video, it can be seen that several vehicles were slowly driving upon reaching a road intersection. A motorcycle rider slowed down and decided to make a full stop as the traffic light turns orange.
Unfortunately, a reckless van driver accidentally rammed the motorist who was waiting for his turn to pass. The collision sent the rider pummeling to the ground and hitting his head on the floor.
Luckily, the motorist seems to be unharmed because of his helmet. The incident caught the attention of other vehicle and motorcycle drivers. Traffic enforcers and cops came to check the rider’s condition.
The incident reportedly happened on Edsa Corner Kamias Road. The van driver clearly disrespected the traffic signs, which leads to an accident.
