DOTr reminds motorists: When driving, keep your eyes on the road (not your sweetheart)

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has posted a reminded on social media to always be safe when driving and to focus on the road ahead.

"Pasintabi lang po, Ma’am and Sir. Ayaw po namin maging KJ at makasira sa lambingan moments ninyo. We understand you love each other. PERO, LOVE DIN PO NAMIN KAYO, AND WE WANT YOU TO BE SAFE," the agency posted on its Facebook account.

"Dahil diyan, nais po namin kayong paalalahanan na.... Okay lang maglambingan, basta nasa ligtas na lugar, pagkakataon at pamamaraan."

The DOTr posted a video of a couple from the account of Carbrazzer.tv, who are "focused" on each other and they do not seem to be watching the road during their trip.

"TANDAAN: Kapag nagmamaneho, ang focus dapat ng driver ay sa kalsada, hindi sa katabi niya," DOTr said.

"Minsan, mas okay na bumitaw sa nobya, ‘wag lang sa manibela. No bitter feelings. Just pag-ibig."

The agency's post garnered more than a thousan comments and 647 shares.

Regarding the video of the couple, the agency posted a comment, "FYI po: Ipinasa na rin po namin sa LTO ang video na ito para po maimbestigahan at magawan ng nararapat na aksyon. Salamat." — BAP, GMA News
