Abstract
In general, member countries of the ASEAN with high motorcycle registration have been found to have very high road crash incidence. In the Philippines, every year, more than 600,000 motorcycles have been added on the road. In 2007, the number has reached 2.65 million. There is much to learn from the lessons of the other ASEAN countries which have gone through the experience of having too many motorcycles on the road as they become more affordable but with corresponding alarming problem on road safety. The paper shows that this experience has already begun in the Philippines, and if the trend would continue without any proper intervention, the same fate of its neighbouring countries may likely be replicated.
