He noted that on Friday alone, a four-year-old boy died while another is in critical condition after being run over by a bus and a sports utility vehicle in front of a school along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City. “It is about time to put motorists on notice, be careful on the road or else face prison time. We can do this by removing the option for probation for convicted reckless drivers,” he added.
The Philippine Statistics Authority ranked road accidents as the thirteenth cause of death in the Philippines in 2022, he added.
