Less accidents during the implementation? Think again...

Best view I heard so far in regard to the difference of number of accidents from before and during the MC lane:

BTW i'm not sure about this cause I just beased this on the every day news, but hofefully its not cause we dont want such to happen. I'm just thinking that reviewing the statistic may help. Maybe its possible that the drop of number of accidents is not purely because of bringing up the motorcycle lane but rather maybe because MMDA is strictly inforcing traffic rules, and they are visible on the road.

Thanks.

On that note,

let me point out that there are at least 5 recorded accidents since the start of the MC lane... The others, as it seems, were omitted in the statements during the interview...

Let me also share with you that the MMDA's official statement on the girl that got hit with the SUV was that she had no headlights when the incident happened.

On the videos, it shows that it was a brand new Suzuki Skydrive... Take note that these scooters have AHO (Automatic Headlight On), which means, it is impossible that the scooter had no lights on...
