NEWS (September 15– September 21, 2008) LC traffic division holds surprise inspection of
trikes By Dominic B. dela Cruz Staff Reporter IN ORDER to fully
implement the Tricycle Code of Laoag City, city traffic division chief SPO4
Danilo Andres said they have been conducting surprise check-up operations of
tricycles around the city. Andres said the spot
inspection includes check up of tricycle lights, papers of the tricycle as
well as the driver, the use of slippers, sleeveless shirts and masks, which
are prohibited by the said code. The traffic chief
said corresponding penalties will be meted out to violators of the tricycle
code, be they barangay tricycles or those operating in the poblacion area. In line with this,
tricycle drivers have been urged to secure their identification cards. Said
cards are good for three years. Applicants are required to undergo seminar,
which is a refresher on the local traffic rules and regulations, at the
Traffic Division Office. These IDs, Andres
said, would help them identify the person driving the tricycle. During some surprise
checks, tricycle drivers were again advised to charge the allowed fare rate
as traffic division records have shown that most of the violations have been
on overcharging and their refusal to convey passengers. Should the riding
public be overcharged or refused conveyance by tricycle drivers, Andres said
they should immediately report this to his office or at any Police Assistance
Centers (PAC). The tricycle drivers
were also reminded to follow the loading and unloading zone rules in the city
as Andres explained that there are drivers who ignore traffic signs when they
see that there is no enforcer in sight. Andres also appealed to other
vehicle drivers to follow traffic rules and regulations in the city. Ilocos Times copyright 2008 |
