00:04 Another street fight went viral involving a SUV and a bicycle in Marikina.
00:10 And even though this happened a long time ago, the driver still faces the LTO to explain.
00:16 We will talk about this with our beloved Attorney Gabby Concepcion.
00:20 Attorney Gabby, good morning.
00:22 Good morning is a bit of a bad word.
00:24 Let's not affect the negative people.
00:27 Anyway, Attorney, the incident happened a long time ago.
00:30 The biker and SUV driver have already agreed.
00:33 The question is, even though the two parties have already agreed to fight or have a fight,
00:38 can they still pursue our law?
00:40 What is the maximum time that you can answer to an act done in the past and has already agreed?
00:46 Well, maximum time for filing a case, unfortunately, there is no forever.
00:51 Your life has a life of its own.
00:53 It's like love.
00:55 It's like there's a line.
00:57 Life has a line so that other people can sue you if you are the agreed party.
01:03 We call that a prescriptive period.
01:06 If the prescriptive period is over and you still haven't sued this person,
01:12 there is also an end for that right.
01:16 In punishable by special laws cases like this,
01:20 because what I know is that reckless driving, violation of our LTO rules,
01:25 up to one year, if more than one month or less than two years, the penalty is four years.
01:36 If the penalty is two to six years, the prescriptive period is eight years.
01:41 It's the same with cases under the revised penal code.
01:44 This is murder, homicide, whatever.
01:46 If the case is punishable by reclusion temporal or perpetua,
01:50 for example, in cases of murder, the prescriptive period is 20 years.
01:56 For crimes punishable by six years and one day, the prescriptive period is 15 years.
02:02 If it's six months and one day, the prescriptive period is 10 years.
02:06 Other crimes, like libel, only last one year.
02:09 But the point is, because it's easy to find in our books, there is no forever.
02:15 In this case, you can still pursue for administrative cases like what the LTO does.
02:21 Although generally, if no one complains, it's hard to get a case.
02:25 And usually, if your case is the case against you, for injuries, damages,
02:33 if it's already too much in the prescriptive period, we can't do anything.
02:37 And if there's a compromise, it's hard.
02:39 Attorney Basis at Salay, Sai, the problem with crossing men in non-pedestrian lanes started.
02:44 If in the investigation, both of them committed a crime,
02:47 if both of them committed a crime, is it possible that both of them will be punished by the law?
02:51 Well, like that, the one who committed a crime,
02:55 then the J-Walking should be punished.
02:58 It's not a case to...
03:00 To hit the bicycle, to hit it.
03:02 To hit it and to hit it.
03:04 So, there's a possibility that both of them will be punished,
03:06 especially if they committed both major offenses.
03:10 But in this case, what will be the case for the "Murahan at Dirty Finger"?
03:16 Even assuming that this happened, we will also ask,
03:20 is this a sufficient provocation to humiliate a person?
03:24 It's not.
03:25 Actually, there's an answer.
03:26 No.
03:27 And if this person died, right?
03:29 For example, it's not an excuse that you didn't kill him on purpose,
03:33 just to scare him.
03:34 Well, it is basic in criminal law that if someone is doing something,
03:38 that is against the law,
03:40 you should answer all the consequences of your actions.
03:44 So, you should also answer for that death.
03:46 For example, it's not an excuse that you're just doing it,
03:50 hoping that the victim will be scared and all those things.
03:53 And you can also see the SUV versus bicycle.
03:57 What's the difference between a bicycle and a car?
03:59 That's why, like that,
04:01 in offenses between a big car and a bike, right?
04:04 Sometimes, there's a presumption in favor of the bike because
04:08 if you're the one driving, there's no one to fight.
04:12 Look at the mismatch.
04:14 And that's really road rage.
04:16 There's nothing good that's being done.
04:18 It's a bit cold.
04:19 The traffic is annoying, but it's a bit cold.
04:21 And if the LTO finds out that your head is too hot,
04:25 they might remove your license because you're a menace to society.
04:30 These are the things that we should regret.
04:32 These are the things that you should regret, Attorney.
04:35 Attorney, happy weekend.
04:36 Happy weekend.
04:37 Thank you very much.
04:38 Have a good time.
