Anti-road rage bills get fresh push in House after Antipolo shooting episode
San Jose Del Monte Representative Rida Robes is urging the swift passage of an anti-road rage bill following a fatal shooting incident in Antipolo City.
The incident resulted in one fatality and three injuries, prompting renewed discussions on proposed legislation.
Since 2022, six House bills have been filed to address road rage, with Representative Robes filing House Bill 1511.
A substitute bill has consolidated these proposals, and the focus is now on the committee report for approval.
The proposed legislation defines road rage as aggressive or violent behavior by a motorist or road user.
House Bill 1511 proposes penalties including a six-month to six-year prison term, a fine of up to P250,000, and driver's license revocation.
