Why is the motorcycle always in the right in philippines n why do they jail someone for tge death of someone else that is in tge wrong. Sounds like the police is taking law into their hands before going to court. God Bless n pray for the families of the dead. Love to all..
Yeah, how they drop a recless imprudence when they did not do anything wrong. The trucks were on his right lane and the bike went to the truck. Why the truck driver were jailed instead of doing a further investigation. This a stupid judicial system that need to be chnaged. Like a armored car just happened to pass infron pt of a construction site and at that momment a contruction worker felled down from above. The armored ran over this guy and the police took the armored driver to jail for recless imprudence. WTF…. another example a taxi driver ran over a motorcyclist that was thrown to his when another taxi bumpem the motorcycle from another lane. The taxi that ran over the guy, who took the victim to the hospital was thrown to jail for RECLESS IMPRUDENCE. WTF….
