Davao Motorist Still Abusing Speed Limit

Speed Limit
We saw what happened to a PUJ "Uso-Uso" with Route "TORIL" bound for Davao city proper. 


The PUJ  was over speeding along McArthur Highway and collided with a forward truck. Reason was, the PUJ  was also trying to overtake on a big truck. 


The driver said that it the truck was big enough to block his view ahead of him. He took the opportunity to overtake by road stealing on counter traffic, but to his demise, a truck was fast approaching against him and they collided. 


The accident took 7 lives including that of a pregnant lady, and some student going off to school.


Enraged, the mayor  re-introduced the speed limit law throughout Davao City premises. Limiting  to 30kph limit. Any caught violating the law shall be punished.


 But then again, we can still see motorist rushing their way to in fro inside the city. 


Former Mayor  and Currently Vice Mayor Rody Duterte, has inducted a new team called "Eagle Squad" that will be responsible for eyeing speed abusers. 


Well sometimes we can see them posting anywhere but, speed chasing? I don' see that very often. I see them chasing after "payong-payong" where motorcyles with sidecars with matching umbrellas, but to private vehicles? Eagle Squads should double their actions upon these  abusers.
