Makati Ticket NOT Accepted by MMDA

To add to that no-license rule confusion, my friend was also stopped at a checkpoint and the police asked for some documents like license, registration, etc. It so happened that he forgot his license at home. Because of that, driving without license na rin siya, with a small fine of P6,000! Aalma ba naman siya sa mga may baril? Buti na lang one of his companions knew one of the policemen, so they were able to escape with a hefty P300.

Alam mo naman, those crooks take advantage of your lack of knowledge of the law. Mga binatilyo kasi so yun nga, inisahan ng mga loko, tinakot ng konti at kumwarta. If it were a middle-aged man who knows his way around, for sure ika-clarify niya na failure to show license lang dapat siya.

So it's really better if you know all motoring rules from the day you get your license. If you're confronted by any traffic enforcer, at least you know your rights and responsibilities.

Hay... there is hope in sight. The LTO has announced that it will finally regularize all rules and coordinate all traffic enforcement agencies. Let's see if the MAPSA or MMDA can get away with their shenanigans once that takes effect.

Ang masakit nito, tayo pa nagpapasweldo sa mga bwaya na yan through our taxes. Sana pwede din natin sila patalsikin kung tax payer tayo.

Now that's nice to know. There should be 10-3 windows in Makati whether Mayor Pogi likes it or not.

Everyone must remember that the MMDA does not honor any other traffic ticket (OVR) aside from their own. This has been announced on tv, radio and newspapers by Dir. Vergel De Dios a long time ago. This is because the MMDA have stressed their right by virtue of RA7924 that it is only them that can implement, administer and install a single traffic ticketing system in Metro Manila. Therefore, they do not honor the tickets of other enforcing units.

The local governments are to blame for implementing their own tickets which are in essence a violation of RA7924. So my only advice to people is to avoid apprehension from local enforcers because they confiscate licenses and the MMDA does NOT because you pay the ticket at Metrobank. If you cannot escape them then might as well bribe them rather than pay a P5000 fine when apprehended again elsewhere for not having a license.

Even the local govts among themselves are at odds. Some mayor who hates the mayor of the other city does not honor the ticket issued by the hated city mayor. Mayor Binay, Atienza and Peewee are the pioneer culprits of the OVR ticketing idea. So I suggest you don't vote them and their relatives next year.

The only way to resolve this problem is for congress to pass a law further strengthening and clarifying the powers of the MMDA so that the single ticketing system can finally be put in place without complaints from the BIG-3 mayors.

Our congressmen have been doing nothing but filing and tackling the impeachment of PGMA. The elections are near and there is still no resolution to this 3 yr problem between the MMDA and the other agencies.

The LTO led by their leader ASec. Lontoc is further making the matters worse by entering the scene and wanting to implement their own ticket. The LTO is the most corrupt of all traffic law enforcement agencies and the reason why transport groups want the LTO to handle traffic ticketing is so that they can use their LTO fixers to assist them in the cancellation of their apprehensions.

The MMDA's MTT is the best ticketing format because you pay in the bank, there is less hassle and you can choose the branch you like so that you dont have to line-up in extremely long lines. You can contest your ticket before paying at the MMDA head office. The transport groups dont like this because the MMDA uses a computerized system which keeps tracks of all their unsettled tickets so they have no escape so they keep complaining which led to the chaotic traffic management we have today.

But how come no higher power is overriding Binay's mockery of the traffic system? When the no-coding scheme was implemented last summer, he contested it and actually had his way. Couldn't such thing be mandatory to every part of Metro Manila?

"Driving without license" is driving without your license with you - whether you are really licensed or not.

I remember more than 10 years ago, I was apprehended by a police in Kamias, QC. I was issued a TCT (Traffic Citation Ticket) and my licensed was not confiscated. Then, they changed the law. In lieu of the TCT, they were issuing TVR (Traffic Violation Receipt) and your license would confiscated.

I also remember that the Supreme Court issued a decision, stating that it is illegal for the traffic enforcers to confiscate Driver's License.
