(Color) Blind?

The Filipino driver is a very unique breed.

They cross red lights, overtake and even start counterflows on streets with solid yellow centerlines, and public utility drivers pick up & drop off passengers at intersections when the light is green and they should already be moving.

In my opinion, the Land Transportation Office's licensure exam for drivers should include items to see if drivers are indeed oblivious of color.

Then again, that agency, and others like it, could do either or both of these things:

1. work more on really upholding the law;
2. impose higher fines for violators.

I think they should do both.
