Pedicab (Kuliglig) Counter Flowing Padre Faura

pedicab "counterflowing" along Padre Faura St., a 1-way street by @MsCandid2

This photo was contributed to us via Twitter. You can see how the narrow street suffered and lost an entire lane which can supposedly fit 6 to 7 more cars until from what we can see because of two counter-flowing pedicabs aka kuligligs.

This is wrong in many angles.
1) They show that they have no respect for the law and it's like they can do whatever they want.
2) Double standards. If a car did this, it will also occupy almost the same space but when caught, they will be fined 2,000 pesos. Why then are they exempted?
3) They put the lives of their passengers in danger. I don't need to further explain why.

Passengers may also be at fault in this scenario as most people would rather ride on their most convenient location than walk so they are spoiled by these pedicabs. Passengers should be the one to help contribute by telling the pedicab drivers to follow the rules else passengers should go down. It's their safety that is at risk.

It also reminds me of another loony law here in the Philippines. No matter whose fault it is, the car is always wrong if versus a human. I don't agree with that. This is why people jay walk and cross dangerous highways (which also causes traffic slow down if it's not already slow at all or moving even) and in fact, this is also used as a modus operandi by other criminals. What they do is they  intently cross the street when a car is about to come that it can hit them and ask for money.
