Tools Against MMDA Enforcers

[tercyu]

Can someone help me on this? Around 6:43pm tonight, I was driving heading north bound of Edsa. I'm sure most of you noticed that when you reach the fly over near edsa shrine or robinsons, there wouldn't be any broken lines in the yellow lane which will lead to your surprise that there is a fence at your fron which will make you change lanes instantly. Heres what happened to me awhile ago...

About 500 meters away from the baricade, I had my signal lights on warning that I will go under the fly over. Since I'm not that familiar with Ortigas, I didn't know that theres no broken line in that area for me to go inside the yellow lane. Upon my surprise, the fence is already in front of me which I quickly changed lane to the right and that's where I got apprehended.

The officer is accusing me of disregard to something (I forgot the violation). I should have entered the yellow lane when I was still in Ortigas MRT. Here's my arguments:

1. I had my signal lights on even at that area which means I am about to shift lanes heading for Meralco or c5. The reason I didnt change lane's because I'm looking for the broken line which is actually the right time for me to shift lanes.

2. There was no public information that that part of Edsa is exempted from the usual yellow lane rule. As far as I know, I cannot go inside the yellow lane if its a straight line.

3. Since it rained, the officer told me that he'll be listing my plate number so that I'll just have to settle it upon registration. (I was not given any ticket or written proof that I am being apprehended. And, I just got threatend that the officer might put false allegations if there is such thing)

Just to clarify it, I went to MMDA Guadalupe to inquire whether the officer can actually do such thing. according to one of the guards there, its a "no contact" apprehension which is actually allowed if the driver is arrogant and is resisting licence turnover.

I was not even being arrogant. I know I'm right and I'm stating my point. At one point the officer even told me: "Tama ka sir, dapat may broken line bago pumasok ng yellow lane..." pero doon daw sa may edsa shrine, kelangan sa may MRT station palang pumapasok na daw... (Does this make sense?)

Anyways, if the "no contact apprehension" is allowed, can somebody help me file a complaint regarding the allegations being charged on me? Who should I contact and what should I do?

On the solid white lines, I pulled the following from the LTO website:

--------
Types and Meanings of Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings (second page)


IV. Pavement Markings


Lines and symbols on roadways are used to warn and direct drivers and to control the flow of traffic.

· WHITE LANE LINES

White lane lines are white lines separating lanes of traffic moving in the same direction. Crossing of solid white line requires special care and is discouraged.

A solid broken white line means passing to the left or right is allowed provided the way is clear.

· YELLOW LANE LINES

Yellow lane lines are dividing lines separating traffic traveling opposite directions.

A solid yellow line at the left lane means, it is not safe to pass.

A broken yellow line means passing is allowed if the way ahead and rear is clear.

Solid double yellow lines at the left lane mean it is unsafe to pass. Never cross it to pass another vehicle. The line maybe crossed only to enter or leave a driveway or private road or to make a permitted "U" turn.
---------

The bottomline is that crossing along a solid white line is discouraged, and not prohibited. At least that's how I interpreted it.

I haven't been to the MMDA head office yet but I believe you should also place your complaint there however you should be able to take note of the name of the apprehending officer so you could address your issues there.

pwede nyo naman sabihin sir sa mga kotong mmdas na nag pupumilit kayo lumabas ayaw nila kayo pasingitin, dapat nga iniaasist nila kayo hindi yung huhulihin kayo,hwag mo bibigay license mo yaan mo sila magpapapadyak lang yan sa inis pag sinaktan kayo ibang usapan na yan.

[majinbu]

eto lang ang style dyan. all you need is 2 things 1)lakas ng loob 2)cellphone

pag nahuli ka, first ay greet him with a smile, pag maayos kausap, kausapin mo din ng maayos, pero pag bastos, taasan mo agad ng boses. sabay salubong ang kilay.

unang bungad dyan, boss, hindi tayo talo, anak ako ni general (surname mo) cyempre say it with confedence, at yung mukha kang matapang. tapos pag sinabi niya sino yun sabihin mo na parang nabastusan ka dahil hindi nila kilala na "tatay ko isa sa mga head ng pnp, wait tatawagan ko" base sa mga experience ko 90 percent ng time nagdidial palang ako paalisin na ko agad. hehe

pero may mga KUPZ at malakas na loob talaga dyan na itetest ka, so ganito ginagwa ko, sa phone ko may nakastore na dun "PNP chief" sa phone book, tapos diretcho sa friend ko na magaling umenglish, haha kasi im sure 100 percent! pag nagkaenglishan na, suko agad yan mga yan, anyways tapos pag sila naman nahuli ako naman ang sasalo, tulungan lang. haha

kahit coding nalulusutan dito. tried and tested. lakasan lang nga ng loob yan. hehe

may one time naman ginamit ko sa MMDA boys, pagparang pag para sakin, "sir! kela tito bayani ako, peace tayo! sabay smile" ayun smile din sha at sabay kaway.. haha

pinakamalupet na huli ko when i was drunk around 3am then hinahabol ako ng mobile ng hindi ko alam from welcome rotonda umabot na ng nagtahan takbo ko sobrang bilis, so pagstop ko sabay baba ng mga pulis sa mobile sabay tutok ng baril sa may side ko. kasi heavy tinted yung kotche na dala ko kaya sabi nila baka daw armed ako n suspescious looking daw yung kotche. so yun, flash lang ng calling card ni PNP razon na ako lang din ang gumawa. tapos nung pinatawagan i connected it sa gf ko tapos pinalabas ko na assistant ni tito razon. sabay tanong kay mamang pulis na kung papagising pa ba si tito razon. "cge sir, basta sa susunod magingat kayo lalo't nakainom kayo" haha cheers..

tao lang din yan mga yan, wag masyado matakot, lalo na sa mga MMDA boys. madali lang sila bolahin swear...

sa NAIA road nga lagi nga ako nakakaltasan ng P50 ng mga kotong cops jan eh grabe beating the red light lagi kaso ko(kahit hindi talaga ako nalagpas sa red light).



share ko lang tong story ko jan............. rent-a-car kasi business ko i have 8(19 seater van) and when i was supposed to fetch a customer to the naia 1
paglagpas ko dun sa may stoplight sa may park n fly pinara ako ng 1 kotong cops at sinasabing beating the red light...... at ang nakakainis pa dun nakindat kindat pa sya sa akin at ipinahihiwatig na maglabas na ako ng pera nag bigay na ako ng P50 buti pumayag nga si loko eh

tnx sa thread na to alam ko na gagawn ko sa susunod.... bilang na mga araw ng mga kotong mmda na yan

[tripnienchong]

Totoo ba yang mga nasa list na yan, if ever totoo nga, saan kami makakakuha ng legit copy nyan? Kasi ako nahuli ako MMDA, illegal counterflow, eh naalala ko na nabasa ko ngayan somewhere. Pero alam ko namali talaga yung nagawa ko. Confident ako na wag magpakotong at mas gusto ko pa magbayad sa batas kesa sa mga enforcers kasi alam ko nga na bawal na sila manguha eh. At first offense ko lang naman. Never pa ko nagkaron ng traffic violation.

So ginawa ko binayaran ko kaagad yung 2000. Tapos after 3 days, direcho ako sa opisina ng MMDA sa orense. Tapos pag dating dun sinabi sakin na 3 months suspension daw.

Meron ba way para makuha ko kaagad yung license ko?
