Citing risks to road safety, Provincial Board Member Arleigh Sitoy wants the Cebu provincial government to ban car and motorcycle racing or drag racing in public roads.<\/p>\n

Drag racing according to the PB member is rampant in San Fernando and Sibonga towns and in Carcar and Mandaue cities.<\/p>\n

Sitoy filed last Monday the proposed Drag Racing Prohibition Ordinance to put a stop to the dangerous activity popular among affluent young people.<\/p>\n

Without the ordinance, police and local traffic authorities are having a hard time apprehending those engaged in drag racing.<\/p>\n

What they currently do, according to Sitoy is issue traffic violation citation tickets to those engaged in the dangerous past time.<\/p>\n

Traffic citations range from non-wearing of crash helmets, overspeeding and use of unregistered motor vehicle in public roads.<\/p>\n

This is not enough, Sitoy said.<\/p>\n

While not disagreeing with the legislative measure introduced by Sitoy, PB Member Wilfredo Caminero considers drag racing a sport.<\/p>\n

He proposes regulation of drag racing and not totally banning it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can actually be a good investment that local government units (LGU) can benefit from, since it is a sports activity and most of the car lovers are into it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he added: \u201cKung ganahan sila mag drag racing adto sila sa pribadong hawan nga yota, maayo didto kay wala silay kontra nga sakyanan maka sugat,\u201d Caminero said.<\/p>\n

(If they want to engage in racing, they could go to a private property where there are no other motorists.)<\/p>\n

Sitoy agrees, saying these races should have permits from the LGU.<\/p>\n

The PB however deferred ruling on the ordinance and returned it to the committee where the changes can be integrated.<\/p>\n

If approved, anyone caught violating the ordinance would be fined a maximum of P3,000 or imprisonment of not more than one month or both at the discretion of the court.<\/p>\n

If those caught in illegal drag racing are under the influence of intoxicating liquor, a fine of P5,000 or one year imprisonment or both could be meted by the court.\/Correspondent Renan Alangilan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
