Motorcycle Riding Academy, itatatag ng MMDA
MANILA, Philippines — Pangungunahan ng Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) ang pagtatatag ng Motorcycle Riding Academy sa Metro Manila sa layuning mabawasan ang mga aksidenteng may kinalaman sa motorsiklo at gawing mas ligtas ang mga kalsada.
Sa ilalim ng proyekto, bubuo ang MMDA ng technical working group na lilikha ng Motorcycle Safety Training Course module na magbibigay sa begginers at experienced riders ng tamang training at basic knowledge tulad ng iba’t ibang uri, characteristics, basic parts, basic control and operation of motorcycles; iba’t-ibang road safety laws, rules and regulations; at necessary driving skills para sa pag-iwas sa mapanganib na sitwasyon at iba pa.
Magbibigay din ang Academy ng pangunahing pagsasanay sa pagtugon sa emergency .
“The Academy would provide riders with formal training on both theoretical and practical aspects of motorcycle riding,” ani MMDA Acting Chairman Atty. Don Artes.
“Through this Motorcycle Riding Academy, we aim to further promote road safety, particularly to our motorcyclists who are very much at risk to road mishaps. It’s a good opportunity for them to refresh and hone their riding skills and to provide first aid to people who will encounter unexpected road accidents,” dagdag niya.
Noong 2018, naitala ng MMDA Metro Manila Accident Reporting and Analysis System (MMARAS) ang mga motorcycle riders ang kabilang sa may pinakamataas na nasawi sa aksidente sa kalsada na humigit-kumulang 38% o 224 na nasawi mula sa kabuuang 590. Tumaas ang mga nasawi mula 2020 at 2021 na naitala sa 253 at 295.
