    from what i know.

    if you passed the intersection line green, then midway the light turns yellow you're ok.

    if you passed the intersection line yellow, you're still ok.

    if you pass the intersection line red, you have a violation.

    even in the list of LTO violations, wala ka mababasa na "beating the yellow light". yun nga lang, hirap makapagtalo...

    mmda mga naka pwesto dyan sa ortigas. saan kanto ka nahuli? wilson, connecticut or edsa. dati nahuli naman ako sa ortigas edsa towards galeria, nag yellow na so brake na ako kaso mga 60 takbo ko at mahina preno ng fx, so alalay lang ako. ayun yung bumper dumungaw sa pedestrain lane, eto na si MMDA
    mmda: DL mo? stepping ka na ah.
    ako: ano tayo nag babasketball?
    mmda: obstruction to pedestrian ka.
    ako: huh? eh wala mi isang taong tumatawaid ah ano obstruction sinasabi mo? tsaka anong numero ng batas yan obstruction to pedestrian at stepping pakita nga ng handbook nyo?

    umalis na alng yung mmda sa asar.

    pero pag jeep at bus di nila pinapansin, sinigawan ko na minsan yun dahil yung mga bus sa edsa nakaharang kahi go na yung ortigas pero deadma ang mga mokong

    Do what I do. I have the LTO website permanently bookmarked on my phone browser. Kung gustong mag-argue, may ammunition ka...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Yep. That traffic enforcer was just out to extort you. This one's for him

    That's as simple as it can be. Common sense, but so hard to implement when the enforcer is after some lunch money. If his reasoning was the area being accident-prone, then he should've escalated his concern through the proper channels. If it's such a high speed intersection, then perhaps other proper measures should be taken to slow vehicle traffic down. Tsk Tsk!

    And yes, they always turn a blind eye toward PUVs in violation of very basic traffic rules. Baka kasi kumpare or kamag-anak.

    Dyan ako nakipag talo dati sa police officer. pinipilit nya akong hulihin dahil tumawid daw ako ng yellow light. Hinihingi nya ang license pero di ko binibigay kase tinanong ko ang violation ko at ang sabi nya ay beating.... daw ako.

    Eto ang argument ko sa police. Sabi ko sa kanya, wala po tayong violation na "beating the yellow light" , ngayon kung "beating the red light" ako ay papaticket ako. Ang sabi nya...ahh basta me violation ka. Sabi ko, di po pwede sir... dahil kahit sa mga violation ng LTO ay wala pong beating the yellow light.

    Hanggang sa nagtagal kami ng argumento at tinawag yung pinaka mataas sa kanila at dun ako nagpaliwanag hanggang sa pinagbigyan na lang nila ako. Twice na po akong nahuli sa parehong situation at pinagbigyan ako.

    Ganyan din nangyari sakin last week ng papunta ako ng SEC. Nagbuild up ng traffic after mag cross ng G Liner sa EDSA (southbound) coz nagsakay/baba ng passenger. Nang alam kong ndi nako aabot kahit green light ndi ko na pinaanadar kc yung sa middle ng intersection eh may mga car pa rin. So lumagpas lang ako ng pedestrian lane, ang nakakaasar pa dito ndi pinapasin ng MGA MMDA yung G Liner and jeepney nagkwe-kwentuhan lang sila dun which is sila yung reason kung bakit nag traffic.

    MMDA: boss kelangan ndi kayo lumagpas sa pedestrian lane kc stop na
    ako: eh boss inabot na kami ng red light dito at may build up kc dun sa kabila
    MMDA: boss akin na po license.

    Ginawa ko na lang eh tinaas ko yung window and ndi cya pinansin, sa tingin ko nananakot lang yung MMDA or kung kakagat kang bigay mo yung license kc wala cyang ginawa nag labas lang cya ng cellphone tapos pinicturan kunwari yung plate number. May kasabay din akong CRV dun ndi rin nagbigay tapos girl pa yung driver.

    yung inakyatan nyo ng windows, baka sabihin naman nya na disrespect

    labo talaga mga traffic laws dito sa atin. dapat talga may mga seminars din sila. at iisa ang traffic center, para walang discrepancy sa mga laws and regulations
