Abstract

This study aimed to explore the level of receptiveness of Single Motorcycle Drivers on
Wearing Shoes in Ozamiz City. This study used a quantitative design, using a researcher-
made questionnaire in conducting face-to-face survey to a total of eighty (150)
v

respondents, composed of three barangays in Ozamiz City Misamis Occidental. Data


suggest that the level of receptiveness of the driver’s convenience was rated as
Completely Responsive with a grand mean of 3.50, practicality was rated as completely
responsive with a grand mean of 4.00, and driver’s safety was rated as completely
responsive with the grand mean of 3.90. The problems occur during the implementation
of the No shoe No Drive policy in Ozamiz City Misamis Occidental. The researchers
concluded that ordinance made positive impact on public perceptions were residents gain
more confidence safety, on wearing shoes. It is recommended that following the
ordinance implemented by the government it must be safety for the Single Motorcycle
drivers’ residents in their receptive barangays. The data gathered in this study suggested
that the residents of Barangay Calabayan, Liposong and Pantaon Ozamiz City Misamis
Occidental were completely informed, and are thus receptive of the No Shoe, No Ride
ordinance of the city.

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE

Motorcycle drivers are complaining against the policy of the Land Transportation Office

that strictly prohibits the wearing of slippers and sandals when driving to avoid penalty. Although

these riders were wearing helmets, they will still issue a traffic violation ticket for not wearing

shoes. Footwear would protect their feet from injuries in the event of a motorcycle crash. The

most obvious being that shoes protect your feet and keep them from getting injured. The most

dangerous is that shoes allow your feet to better grip the pedals. If you are not wearing footwear,

there is a much higher probability that your foot will slip off the pedal. Without shoes on, the

driver simply cannot apply the same force to the brake pedal as they would be able to with shoes

on. However, continuously driving without shoes requires a significant amount of pressure to the

pedals, particularly if you drive a vehicle that is not automatic.

Standards for motorcycle protective equipment have been devised in Europe

based on two resistant materials and structure to safeguard sensitive tissues. The second

calls for the employment of body armor or impact shields, which are shields made of

high-density foam that distribute and absorb the direct force strikes to elbows that are

exposed. There are currently distinct requirements for the limbs and spine, protective

boots, one-piece suits, jackets, and trousers for motorcycles despite only being

applicable. The standards have functioned across Europe as a baseline for manufacturers

all throughout the world. As a result, a new generation of safeguards gear goods has

emerged. Nevertheless, their effectiveness in actual collision has not yet been studied.

Protective clothing is expected to provide the greatest injury reduction in low-impact

collisions, while there are limitations to how much it can reduce high-impact injury

incidents (European Enhanced Vehicle Safety Committee, et al 1993).


2

Most motorcycle accidents do not entail great speeds or collisions with stationary

objects. It is evident that many motorcyclists who wear helmets do not completely protect

their bodies from injury, nevertheless. There is an obvious need for study to assess the

effectiveness of a motorcycle protective apparel given the rising human and financial

costs of motorcycle injuries globally (Australian Centre for Event Management et al,

2004, Wishart et al.2009).

In the Philippines, drivers are wearing slippers while driving face stiff fines. The

AHS-2008-15 Administrative Order of the Road Traffic Office (LTO) governs fines from

PHP 500 to PHP1,000. They also invalidate motorcycle permits for riders who wear bare

feet or improper footwear. Knowing the penalty for breaching this, many individuals

have the impression that the penalty is a little too severe. However, this amount is quite

appropriate and serves as a deterrence for the motorist not to violate the law again.

Through the information and analysis provided above, we believe that drivers will have a

better understanding of the problem of LTO violations while wearing slippers. Slippers

can provide a more comfortable ride for the driver, but they also increase the chance of

an accident. Wearing slippers while driving is unlawful, which is why it is strongly

advised to pick the correct shoes to not only comply with the law but also to make

yourself more comfortable.

Ozamiz City Misamis Occidental implemented the No shoe No Travel Policy to

ensure safety while on the road. The Philippine National Police (PNP) Ozamiz requires

motorcycle riders to wear shoes while driving. Meanwhile, Land Transportation Office

(LTO) Administrative Order AHS-2008-15 prescribes fines ranging from PhP 500 to PhP

1,000 with revocation of license for motorcycle riders caught barefoot or wearing

inappropriate footwear, which includes slippers. The restrictions are in line with hygienic
3

practices and safety since flip-flops freely dangle from the feet and might get caught in

the pedals, compromising the vehicle's operation. But motorcycle drivers are complaining

about the policy of the Land Transportation Office that strictly prohibits the wearing of

slippers and sandals when driving motorcycle vehicles.

Footwear would protect their feet from injuries sustained in a motorcycle

accident. Some drivers also stated that wearing slippers allow them to liberate their toes

more comfortably than wearing bulky shoes when utilizing the pedal. As a result, many

people prefer to wear slippers without realizing that, in addition to being comfortable,

they increase the driver's risk of an accident. In fact, several road accidents have been

reported simply because wearing slippers makes driving difficult. All of these are sad

accidents that no one wants to witness. It is in this premise that this study was conducted

as it aimed to identify the level of receptiveness of the single motor vehicles towards the

No Shoe, No Ride Policy ordinance in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental.

Review of Related Literature

This part presents the related literature and studies relevant to the current study. The

reviews include internet sources.

Road Safety

Public health, social, economic, and transportation issues all revolve around road

safety. Road accidents claim the lives of more than 1.2 million people annually, and

many more suffer injuries. A complete, consistent collection of elements and policy

instruments supported by theoretically solid concepts are lacking in current road safety

plans. Therefore, the goal of the current thesis was to develop road safety measures so
4

that they are more applicable, efficient, effective, and responsive to various situations and

futures.

Although it has been acknowledged that the field of road safety is complex, with a

variety of interrelated factors, influences, interrelationships, components, and

countermeasures, road safety strategies take a very simplistic approach and do not

account for the complexity of contexts, causes, and consequences. Road safety strategies

need to recognize and address the full range of factors and influences that affect

outcomes. Road safety in future will be subject to dynamic contexts and technologies that

are already evident, but very unpredictable, and different regions around the world are

not the same ((Peden et al., 2004, Wegman et al, 2017).

Road traffic crashes are recognized as a major public health challenge and are

predicted to become the third most common cause of disability worldwide by 2020. As

survival rates improve, particularly in high income countries, increasing attention is being

paid to the high rates of impairment and disability associated with non-fatal injuries.

Motorcyclists represent a significant proportion of road traffic casualties globally4 and

are seen to be overrepresented in crashes in high income countries and amongst road

casualties with high levels of disability. The need to design and evaluate countermeasures

for motorcyclists is clear.

Whilst motorcycle advantages in reducing head injury and death are well

documented,10 other many types of motorcycle protection gear have not been regarded

as a significant safety measure for riders, largely because they have been assumed to have

minimal effect in preventing serious injuries. Whilst there are some constraints that

clothing can protect you from injury a high impact crash, protective clothing is expected

to offer the best injury reduction in low impact crashes. There is also evidence that many
5

motorcycle accidents do not involve high speeds impacts and a significant proportion of

riders sustain only relatively minor injuries in vehicle accidents.

Driver's Convenience
Motorcycles are a common mode of transportation in mainland China, Taiwan,

and Hong Kong due to their convenience in congested areas and the ease with which they

may be operated and parked on narrow streets. Aggressive driving violations of

motorcycle riders are strongly related to overtaking, whereas ordinary violations are

related to speeding and reckless driving. Motorcycle riders have a higher propensity to

overtake than do motor car drivers since it gives them a lot of conveniences, particularly

in congested traffic, which is common in Hong Kong. It is also easier to overtake when

riding a motorcycle on a road than when driving a car. However, overtaking is inherently

high risk. It is not only an accident that the motorcycle rider will accelerate into, but he or

she also must rely very much on other drivers behaving in a predictable manner. Because

of this propensity to overtake, motorcycle riders are prone to overtake wrongly or

illegally without considering the negative consequences of such a violation. An

underestimation of negative consequences has been linked to intention to speed

((Krishnan and Smith, 1994, Lawton et al.,1997).

Drivers with a high accident risk are less observant regarding their own errors in

driving behavior. Violations, on the other hand, maybe easier to recall because they are,

by definition, deliberate acts, in contrast to errors, which are automatic acts

(Kontogiannis etal.,2002). Driving violations are deviations from practices deemed

required to ensure the safe functioning of a potentially hazardous system. They can be

categorized into two distinct types based on the reason why drivers commit a violation.

The first type, called ordinary violations, involves the deliberate breaking of the law
6

without an aggressive motivation or aim. The second type called aggressive violations

involves an interpersonally aggressive component and overtly aggressive acts (Lajunen et

al 2004).

Driver’s Safety

Motorcycles have recently enjoyed phenomenal growth both as forms of basic

transportation and in recreation. Since 1961 motorcycle registrations have increased at

nearly four times the rate of all other vehicles. The principal: safety problem with

motorcycles is the vulnerability of the persons who ride them. When a motorcycle is

involved in a collision, its occupants are approximately 10 times more likely to be injured

than if they were in a car. Motorcycle safety measures have been prioritized in

California's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). As a result, the SHSP developed a

specific safety target in 2006: reduce fatalities by 10% from 2004 to 2010 (Carraro, et.,

al, 1979)

California intended to reduce motorcyclist fatalities by implementing strategies

related to the following action items: educate the public on motorcycle safety; improve

motorcycle training, testing, and licensing of motorcyclists; improve enforcement of

motorcyclist violations and violations by operators of other vehicles; improve

motorcyclist visibility to other roadway users improve roadway design to improve

motorcycle safety; and promote the use of motorcycle helmets. SHSP also examined

important implementation challenges for each action item, such as roadway surface

improvements, enforcement of existing helmet integrity requirements, and training for

elderly motorcyclists. Some safety initiatives, such as enforcement and engineering, have

the ability to reduce crashes immediately, whereas the impacts of training riders to wear

helmets may not be obvious for years. Despite the actions, motorcyclist fatalities in
7

California increased by 60% from 2004 to the end of 2009 (Statewide Integrated Traffic

Records System, 1995-2009), indicating that the goal of reducing biker fatalities has not

been met (Kempton et al., 2006).

Driver's Practicality

Motorcycles and other powered two-wheelers are increasingly being used for

commuting around the world. Motorcycles' lower size and maneuverability in dense or

congested traffic provides them a speed and convenience edge over bigger vehicles such

as cars, lorries, and buses. Riders choose PTWs because of their maneuverability,

flexibility, and control over other types of transportation. However, the features that

make PTWs appealing also make it difficult to design appropriate safety measures to

minimize confrontations with other road users and to safeguard passengers in the event of

a crash (Kopp 2011; Lee Polak et al 2009, Chang and Wu 2008).

There are five factors for choosing a motorcycle. The income level of trip makers

is in middle to lower average so that their ability is only sufficient to have motorcycle

The number of small family size of trip makers does not require a large type of transport.

Location of houses in contoured areas (hills) are very influential in choosing a

motorcycle as a transportation mode. In terms of community, the influence in joining a

group/club of motorcycles is very influential on their choice of this transportation mode.

For the ability to drive, the ability of trip makers who can only drive motorcycles is the

choice of this mode of transportation (Tamin, 2000; Nuriyanti, 2016).

kCHAPTER 2

METHODS
11

This chapter describes the research method employed during the development of

this study. This contains the research design, environment, respondent, instrument, data

gathering procedure and data analysis/statistical treatment.

Research Design

The researchers used a descriptive - quantitative method. The descriptive-

quantitative method of research is used to describe a population or situation accurately.

This was utilized to attain information from the LTO personnel in Ozamiz City.

Descriptive - quantitative research design is used in quantitative results to assists in

explaining and interpreting the findings of quantitative study.

Research Environment

This study was conducted in Ozamiz City in the three (3) selected barangays

namely: Calabayan, Liposong and Pantaon. These areas were chosen because these areas

were identified to have many single motorcycle drivers which route are from the

barangay to the city proper. The drivers in these areas easily adapted the law that is

implemented. This needs to be studied in order to assess the safety in driving single

motorcycle to prevent any kind of accidents mandated by the management of the LTO.
12

Research Respondents

The respondents were the single motorcycle drivers in the selected barangays in

Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental namely: Calabayan fifty (50) resondents, Pantaon fifty

(50) respondents and Liposong fifty (50) respondents a total of 150 respondents. These

single motorcycle drivers are coming from mountainous barangays. The 150 respondents

from the three barangays who are willing to answer the survey. The respondents might be

18 years old and above who owns a registered motor vehicle.

Research Instrument

This study used the researcher - made questionnaire to assess the

respondents Level of Receptiveness to Single Motorcycle Drivers on wearing shoes in

Ozamiz City. The questionnaires were distributed to the single motorcycle drivers in

Ozamiz City specifically to the barangays Calabayan, Pantaon and Liposong, Ozamiz
13

City. The said researcher-made survey questionnaire underwent pilot testing through

Cronbach’s Alpha Test of reliability.

This research questionnaire was composed of two parts. First, the preliminary

questions regarding the demographic profile in terms of the age and gender that would

identify the personal information of the respondents. Second, The second part contains

the single motorcycle drivers.

The participants were asked to respond to the items using scale with the following

response options, highly receptive, receptive, moderately receptive, fairly receptive and

not at all receptive.

Research Gathering Procedure

The researchers made the questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to


the respondents by the researchers and asked the participants to answer the questions.
Research Procedure

The researchers wrote a letter of request approved by the research adviser of the

College of Arts and Sciences of La Salle University, Ozamiz City. The researchers

submitted a letter to the three different barangays in the city requesting permission to

conduct a survey. The researchers provided the questionnaires that were answered by

chosen respondents coming from the different barangays and anchored on the Single

Motorcycle driver in Ozamiz City. Lastly, the researcher conducted a survey in their

respective barangays with 20 corresponding respondents.

STEP 1. The researchers distributed the content validation of the questionnaires.

STEP 2. The respondents were given questionnaires to fill out.


14

STEP 3. All data were gathered and collected from the respondents and were
carefully interpreted by using statistical data.

STEP 4. Presentation of the results then followed upon the finalization and con-
clusion of data and information collected from questionnaires by the respondents.

Treatment Data

Purposive sampling was utilized. Which included selecting individual respondents

who volunteered to be the study’s focus.  The researchers gathered and collected the

questionnaires and then tallied the frequency percentage distribution with regard to the

research respondent’s Level of Receptiveness of Single Motorcycle Drivers on wearing

Shoes in Ozamiz City. After tallying, the researchers utilized weighted mean formula for

its computation.

Weighted mean was used by the researchers to see the numbers and percentage of the fol-
lowing results

  Formula:

 Weighted mean = ∑wx/∑w

      X= the value

      ∑= the sum

      W= the weights


15

The frequency of the answer namely option was measured through a table to see how
many respondents answered each option.

Numerical Value Quantitative Description Verbal Description

4.21 – 5.00 5 Highly Receptive Completely Responsive


3.41 - 4.20 4 Receptive Moderately Responsive

2.6 1- 3.40 3 Moderately Receptive Somewhat Responsive


1.81 - 2.60 2 Somewhat Receptive Less responsive
1.00 -1.80 1 Not at all Receptive Not at all Responsive

Formula: %=F/NX100

This study utilized the Likert Scale which is presented in the table shown below.
The Likert Scale above was used to identify the range, and the verbal interpretation of the
respondents’ level of receptiveness of single motorcycle drivers.

Ethical Consideration

The respondents’ information was not revealed to anybody. Before the start of the

dissemination of the questionnaire, there was a written informed consent form given to

the respondents. It also emphasized that the data gathered from the questionnaires were

used for academic purposes only. The proponents assured the respondents that the

information gathered in the instrument would be strictly confidential, and the anonymity

of their identities were constantly maintained. This study was conducted with honesty

and utmost reliability. To observe the credibility of the interpretation, the proponents

consulted experts and professionals on the data gathered.

wearing Shoes in Ozamiz City. They are also matured enough to decide the Level of Re-

ceptiveness of Single Motorcycle Drivers on wearing shoes in Ozamiz City.

Table 2.1 presents the respondents Level of Receptiveness of Single Motorcycle

Drivers in terms of Convenience. This table reflects how the barangay officials

implement No Shoe Drive Policy in Ozamiz City Misamis Occidental to enforce

ordinance properly.

Table 2.1 shows that the respondents comprehend the government's ordinance

regarding wearing shoes while driving. The highest weighted mean of 3.50 was provided

by the indicators as the result above, "I wish to continue the No Shoe No Drive

policy," with a verbal interpretation of receptive. This indicates that they accept the

ordinance for the benefit of their own safety. The lowest weighted mean is 2.23 “I

violate the ordinance “and a verbal interpretation of being Less Responsive. This

demonstrates that the emergency pesonnel are driving in shoes.

Summary

The goal of this study was to determine the receptiveness of single

motorcycle drivers on wearing a shoe in the two (2) selected barangay in Ozamiz City

Misamis Occidental. The study used the quantitative research design to easily find the

level of receptiveness of single motorcycle drivers. There were 150 respondents who

voluntarily answer the researcher - made questionnaire by conducting the survey. The

respondents were coming from (3) three barangays in Ozamiz City which are barangays

Calabayan, Liposong and Pantaon. The purpose of the study was to found out the Level

of Single Motorcycle Drivers on wearing shoes in Ozamiz City. Specifically, the

demographic profile of the respondents in terms of Age Gender and the level of

effectiveness in terms of Drivers Convenience, Drivers Practicality, and Drivers Safety.

Findings

The findings are presented in the accordance to the problems mentioned in

Chapter 1 Statement of the Problem and based on the results of the Chapter 3. The

following researchers discovered:

1. The respondents of the study were predominant female in terms of sex

composing 100 out of 150 total respondents. In terms of age, the age

group 25-27 years old has the highest frequency of 40 out of 150 total

respondents followed by the age groups 22-24 years old, 28-30 years old,

and 19-21 years old with a frequency of 39, 38, 33 respectively.


22

2. The Level of Receptiveness of Single Motorcycle Drivers on wearing

shoes in Ozamiz City is rated as completely responsiveness with the grand

mean of 4.00. Thus, in terms of drivers’ convenience obtained a weighted

mean of (3.50). This shows that the respondents were completely

responsive in terms of the ordinance implementation by accepting and

following the law. Practicality obtained a weighted mean of (4.00). The

result shows that the respondents were completely responsive they adapted

easily the law without any kind of argument. Lastly, safety got the highest

weighted mean of (3.90). The respondents were completely responsive in

terms of the safety of the Single Motorcycle drivers by using a shoe to

avoid accidents.

Conclusion

Through sharing the analysis above, we hope that drivers can better understand

the problem of LTO violation on wearing slippers. Slippers can give the driver a

comfortable ride, but it also carries the risk of an accident. Wearing slippers while driving

is illegal, which is the reason we highly recommend that you find the right shoes to not

only obey the law but also make yourself more comfortable.

Recommendation

According to the findings of study the researchers’ recommendation are as

follows:

1. The Land Transportation Office must supervise and compensate the single

motorcycle drivers since they are coming from mountainous barangay.


23

Significantly during the implementation, they keep themselves safe particularly

when they are in an emergency.

2. The Single motorcycle drivers work with safety precautions to avoid accidents.

3. The Community will be encouraged to obey the No Shoe No drive ordinance.

4. The students will be giving importance about the implemented law in maintaining

the peace and order in the city.

5. The Researchers and future Researchers may use the information gained in this

study.
