MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Thursday expressed alarm over the rising number of road accidents involving motorcycles around the country.

Superintendent Edwin Butacan, spokesman of the PNP's Highway Patrol Group (HPG), 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.

Butacan said majority of the accidents were record in provinces, where reckless driving is normally not closely monitored.

He said that there is a highway in Malolos town in Bulacan provinces that has earned the name "killer highway" because of an average of one death in a motorcycle accident per day.

With the booming motorcycle sale in the country,  an average of 7,000 motorcycle units a week as recorded by HPG, Butacan said that they are planning to conduct safe driving seminars for all motorcycle drivers. With a report from Gus Abelgas, ABS-CBN News

Customers who take advantage

Customers who take advantage of leasing to acquire new vehicles get to conserve their available capital and protect their primary funding sources including loans and overdraft facilities. This gives customers the unprecedented advantage of having extra available income without using up their external resources, which will still be available for them at a future date should the need arise.

UK Car Leasing is Tax Deductible

All payments that a business makes under a UK car leasing agreement are regarded as operating expenditure. Hence, these payments can lower the taxable profit on the business by as much as one hundred percent of the total payable rental.

Reduced Time Spent On Administration & Maintenance

With a 'Contract Hire' or a fully maintained operating lease, customers have the option to have the contract fully maintained. This means that all routine services including overnight service, manufacture recalls, service reminders as well as tyre replacements and all other items that may need to be replaced during the lifetime of the contract remains the responsibility of the leasing company. This can dramatically reduce the time spent, and expenditure, on the upkeep of the vehicles.
