Fake Plate, Stickers and Papers

Manila to Ban Tandem Riding
On July - 31 - 2007
Here we go again.
After having just escaped the helmet sticker ordinance by the MMDA, newly elected Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim wants to ban tandem riding in the city of Manila.
From ABS-CBN Interactive
Motorcycle riders in tandem may soon be a thing of the past in Manila if Mayor Alfredo Lim will have his way.
Lim on Monday urged the city council to draft an ordinance that will prohibit having more than one rider on a motorcycle.
The mayor, dubbed “Dirty Harry” for his no-nonsense approach to criminals, said various crimes, including murders of activists and journalists, are committed by suspects riding tandem on motorcycles.
Lim said the proposed measure is better than the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority’s plan to require riders to post their motorcycle’s plate number on their helmets.
Oh brother when will this madness ever end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
