00:00The license plates of motorcycles will be changed again following the amendment of the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act.
00:06What is the reaction of the riders? Let's find out in the first news live of James Agustin.
00:11James.
00:17Good morning. I favor the motorcycle riders that were approved by the Bicameral Conference Committee
00:24that the license plates of motorcycles will be replaced with one instead of two.
00:29This is part of the amended version of the law that is amended in the Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act.
00:40One year before the motorcycle taxi rider obtained the license plates of his motorcycle,
00:45he only used a temporary license plate.
00:48It's hard sir because you can't be recognized by people because what you have is an MB file number.
01:00It's very hard. It's better if you have a license plate that shows who owns the motorcycle.
01:08The motorcycle rider, Raymond, has been waiting for the license plate of his motorcycle for three years.
01:14Of course, it's hard when there are checkpoints, especially for LTOs.
01:18They ask us if we are really registered and we are being stopped
01:24because we only have a temporary license plate.
01:28Even if it's second-hand or brand new,
01:31I hope that when the customer buys their motorcycle, they can release the license plate.
01:39In the amended version of the amended law that is amended in the Republic Act 11235 or Motorcycle Crime Prevention Act,
01:46better known as the Double License Plate Law,
01:49the Bicameral Conference Committee approved that the license plates of motorcycles should be replaced with one instead of two.
01:57According to Senator J.B. Ejercito, this is one of the considerations.
02:01The LTO has a million backlogs of license plates.
02:04The license plate will only be attached to the back of the motorcycle.
02:08It is also no longer required for motorcycles to have an RFID sticker.
02:12This is in favor of the riders we have talked to.
02:15It's better, sir, because it's unsafe if there's another license plate in front of you that is made of can.
02:22Because you can't tell when it will fly away.
02:26It might end up on your face.
02:29It's very unsafe for a motorcycle rider.
02:33It's not safe if it's in front of you.
02:37It's better if it's on your back.
