    Motorcycle Accident in the Philippines - Fact, It's Rising

    Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/5935805

    Have you noticed that a motorcycle accident in the Philippines occurs on


    almost a daily basis? This trend has set off man police departments around the
    area including the Philippine National Police (PNP). The department released an
    official statement expressing the alarming numbers of motorcycle accidents
    that have been occurring around the country. Every year motorcycle accidents
    in the Philippines thrive to new heights with minimal effort to turn this number
    around.

    Motorcyclist's have been expressing their voice of concern when it's both timely
    and appropriate. 

    Edwin Butacan is the official spokesperson for the PNP and recently said,,"a
    total of 209 cases of accidents involving motorcycles have been recorded in
    January this year, a significant increase compared to last year's record of 106
    cases."

    This doubled record gives the absolute facts of wreck less and careless driving
    when it comes to having a motorcycle accident in the Philippines. Contrary to
    popular belief, numbers have been soaring through countries with high
    statistic rates for motorcycle accidents.

    The worst place to bike in the Philippines is often called "killer highway" and at
    least once per day there is an accident that leads to death. This highway is
    located in the Philippines at the Malolos town in Bulacan province. This
    country has noted a much higher increase with motorcycle years and they
    predict that it's a trend that will be here for a very long time. Seeing a
    motorcycle in the Philippines is one thing, but being involved in that accident
    is an even more horrific experience. The lesson one should take into reality is
    the safety that motorcycle gear such as helmets or armor vests provide.

    HBG recently conducted a survey that helped provide statistics of motorcycles


    and their riders. This study was mainly significant for its motorcycle consumer
    reports. This special report is the proof that motorcycle sales are booming
    across the country. There is a total of 7,000 motorcycle sales every week of the
    year. Keep this fact in mind when trying to avoid having a motorcycle accident
    in the Philippines.
