These types of vehicles have been banned from main roads in Metro Manila since April. The problem is, people without a driver's license can operate them, owing to the "bike" classification or lack of vehicle classification. Imagine a person who lacks knowledge of traffic rules driving a heavy, high-speed vehicle on chaotic Philippine roads. The typical use-case of these vehicle is "hatid-sundo," or parents driving their children to and from school. I have yet to see a driver or the children wear helmets. However, soon these vehicles will require registration and proper classification, and only licensed drivers will be permitted to operate them. On a separate note, Tesla started posting local job listings a few days ago, hinting expansion in the country.
