00:00We will examine and judge these incidents, there is no salvation as long as they are caught on cam.
00:20Caught on cam, the victim of the tragedy is a jeepney that came from the outing and crashed.
00:27These vehicles are following the incident of the accident.
00:32A jeepney seems to be moving and I captured its overtaking in some of the vehicles.
00:38The jeepney went around and hit the motorcycle passengers but the brakes were not working.
00:45Three motorcycles were killed while the jeepney passengers were injured.
00:51According to the driver, the brakes were not working before the jeepney reached the curve.
00:56He planned to hit the jeepney on the right side of the road.
01:00But since there are a lot of vehicles here, the jeepney moved to the line to hit the barrier.
01:07Caught on cam, another truck passed by and there were more.
01:13That orange vehicle might be moving in Katipunan, Quezon City.
01:19A faster 10-wheeler truck arrived on its left.
01:22It hit the gutter so it moved to the side and there were a lot of pickups.
01:27The driver and the truck driver got angry.
01:31According to the driver, when the traffic light went green, that's when they found out that the brakes were not working.
01:40Caught on cam, a 7-motorcycle was hit by a truck in San Pedro, Laguna.
01:47At first, two more trucks were given to pass through San Antonio and San Pedro, Laguna.
01:54But when a truck passed by, it hit the motorcycle passengers.
02:00Some of the riders got up immediately.
02:03There were also injuries while the truck was driving straight.
02:08A rider was injured and seven motorcycles were damaged.
02:12The truck driver was not licensed to drive the vehicle.
02:17Caught on cam, that's what we will discuss.
02:23We will be joined by the head for traffic education of the MFDA, Mr. Antonio Pagulayon Jr.
02:30Good morning.
02:31Good morning to all our viewers.
02:35Now, a lot of people are going on vacation.
02:38They will go home to their provinces because they are going to celebrate Easter.
02:42Let's talk about what we can do to avoid such accidents.
02:46I will start with what happened to the jeepney.
02:48The jeepney came from the outing.
02:51The driver said that he wanted to save it from hitting the barrier because the brakes were not working.
02:59How can we avoid such an incident?
03:01Okay.
03:02That's the statement of the driver.
03:07You know, there are some incidents.
03:10Why does a vehicle crash?
03:14There are three reasons.
03:15First, the size of the vehicle.
03:17Second, what we call the center of gravity.
03:20This is the major factor, the speed.
03:23We can see that it's fast.
03:25If you notice, the vehicle is curved.
03:28When it's curved, what we call the centrifugal force, the force.
03:33On the other hand, it's sudden.
03:35It's sudden.
03:36You know, when we are driving, if we are too fast,
03:41and you suddenly turn to the left or to the right,
03:44the directional control.
03:45It's really sudden.
03:46It's really sudden.
03:47Okay.
03:48Is it overloaded?
03:49Is that also a factor?
03:50Yes.
03:51Okay.
03:52Especially if the load of the passengers is not even.
03:55If the load is not even, is there a way to slow down the vehicle?
04:01Yes.
04:02You know, most of our drivers don't know how to use the engine brake.
04:06That's what we call the engine brake.
04:07How is that?
04:08First of all, of course, as a driver,
04:11you will check if you can go faster.
04:13If you can go slower,
04:15you will press the clutch first.
04:17If you are in third gear, you can do it in second gear.
04:20And slowly, you will release it.
04:22You will downshift.
04:23Oh, so you will go slower.
04:24That's the engine brake.
04:26Engine brake.
04:27And of course, you will check your surroundings.
04:29On the road, we have what we call speed arresters.
04:32So you can block the mountains, let's say, the winds.
04:37You can park your vehicle in a soft place to stop the speed.
04:45Okay.
04:46Next, we will discuss,
04:48this truck also lost its brakes,
04:51and a small vehicle was hit.
04:54What advice can you give in this situation?
04:57The truck has no brakes.
05:00Yes.
05:05Okay.
05:06What advice can we give there?
05:08Okay, the truck that I saw,
05:10that we noticed in the video,
05:13when it was hit,
05:17Okay, there it is.
05:19That's what we call, because it's a big truck,
05:22the center of gravity.
05:23As you know, when the truck is high,
05:26the gravitational force,
05:28the gravitational force,
05:30it will fall.
05:32As you can see, it's a bit high.
05:34So, it hit the gutter.
05:37It hit the gutter, it fell.
05:39Okay.
05:40It fell.
05:41Oh, we should be careful with that.
05:43That's the reason why it fell,
05:46because it hit the gutter, the center island.
05:48Because it's high,
05:49the gravitational force,
05:51it's stronger,
05:53that's why it fell.
05:55Before you go out, check it.
05:57It's here, right?
05:58Yes.
05:59So, it fell here.
06:00But didn't it do the right thing?
06:02It hit the gutter,
06:04to make it fall?
06:05That's right, to make it fall.
06:06But?
06:07It's just that it's high.
06:08Okay.
06:09So, its wheels hit the gutter,
06:11that's why it fell.
06:12It fell.
06:13Okay.
06:14Our last video,
06:16is about a truck's experience
06:17with this.
06:18The driver said,
06:20instead of the brakes,
06:21he stepped on the accelerator.
06:22Oh, there it is.
06:23What's your assessment on that?
06:25The driver might be telling the truth,
06:27because you know,
06:28the two situations that I see here,
06:30with Igor,
06:32maybe the driver squeezed it,
06:35he squeezed it too much,
06:37and the cylinder was stretched,
06:39that's why, as you can see,
06:41instead of going straight here,
06:43he went there.
06:44Maybe he squeezed it too much.
06:45Okay.
06:46Instead of going straight here,
06:47he went there.
06:48He went straight here,
06:49to the gutter.
06:50He didn't break the...
06:51Maybe that's how it is.
06:52He didn't break the...
06:55the accelerator,
06:56but the cylinder.
06:57Wow.
06:58And,
06:59in a situation like that,
07:01what's the cause of that?
07:03Reckless imprudence.
07:04It's really reckless?
07:05Yes, it's really reckless.
07:07But,
07:08as far as maintenance,
07:09because these three videos,
07:12all of them,
07:13the brakes are gone.
07:14That's the...
07:15Me,
07:16together with Igor,
07:17that's the best excuse
07:18of a driver.
07:19But,
07:20like in the first video,
07:21you know,
07:22the driver said,
07:23because he said,
07:24the brakes are gone.
07:25You know,
07:26in overtaking,
07:27you'll use a little brake
07:28if you know
07:29you're following slowly.
07:30Yes.
07:31So,
07:32even then,
07:33maybe
07:34what the driver said
07:35wasn't right.
07:36Yes.
07:37Here too,
07:38maybe
07:39he made a mistake
07:40on the apex.
07:42The best brake
07:43is the linear.
07:44So,
07:45the...
07:46the...
07:47the linear.
07:48You know,
07:49in vehicles like these,
07:50it's not a power steering.
07:52That's why...
07:53It's a power steering.
07:54It's a power steering.
07:55Maybe he hit the brakes
07:56and didn't go back.
07:57Oh,
07:58poor the...
07:59poor the victims.
08:00Lastly,
08:01because a lot of people
08:02are planning to travel,
08:03what are our tips
08:04to our fellow citizens
08:05to save the journey
08:06this Christmas?
08:07Well,
08:08Christmas is coming.
08:09Our advice
08:10is first,
08:11of course,
08:12to prepare
08:13for our...
08:14journey.
08:15We need to have
08:16the tools
08:17or gadgets
08:18that we bring.
08:19And of course,
08:20test yourself.
08:21That's the most important thing.
08:22Are you fit to drive?
08:23Yes.
08:24So,
08:25prepare yourself
08:26when we travel.
08:27Just remember,
08:28before you go,
08:29check the...
08:30wheels.
08:31Yes.
08:32What do you call those?
08:33The blow baguettes.
08:34Blow baguettes.
08:35Yes.
08:36That's not enough.
08:37There should be a K.
08:38The key.
08:39There should be a key.
08:40That's right.
08:41Blow baguettes.
08:42Thank you very much,
08:43Head for Traffic Education
08:44of MMDA,
08:45Ginong Antonio Pagulayan, Jr.
08:46Let's go.
08:47We will investigate
08:48accidents or crimes
08:49because from now on,
08:50there is no more
08:51blind spot
08:52when it comes
08:53to salvation.
08:54We will focus on that
08:55on Caught on Cam.
