The fastest Filipinos on wheels joins the campaign to slow down

.
March 10, 2014

These people agree that we should have mandatory speed limiters on all buses and trucks. Join them as we take the campaign to the next level. Hold up a similar sign, have your picture taken, and then post it on your social media of choice with the hashtag #yes2speedlimitersph and tag me on @jdeakin72 or post it on my Facebook wall. I'll take care of the rest.

For the shy ones out there, think of it as your generous donation to road safety. Let’s turn each signature into a face. The face of someone’s son, daughter, mother, lolo, lola, tito, tita, brother, sister...you get the message. We want to humanise it.

We’re almost there. We just need one last big push. Change starts here. And now.

So, who’s in. As we like to say in the Philippines, come, let’s join us!
