It is also stated in the law that any person driving a two-wheeled motorcycle can no longer take a child for a ride along public roads where the volume of vehicle traffic is heavy, or where there is high-density of fast-moving vehicles, and where the speed limit is more than 60 kilometers per hour.

The Land Transportation Office is the lead agency to implement the law and may deputize traffic officers of the Philippine National Police, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and local government unit for enforcing the law.
