Protect yourself from abusive MMDA Personnel

[thejerk]

HAHA good job!

[Burai]

hmm.. lumaganap pala through email. ayos yan! kaso yung copy ko galing sa ibang thread dito eh walang #5 tapos ang starting statement sa last line was so go out and enjoy bla lah lah at hindi so go out and fight for your rights
that isn't a big issue anyway, i'm just surprised why the other didn't have rule #5. edited na ba ng ibang contributer or edited na nung original contributer?
i seem to notice din kasi that even today, kahit 1st offense ka pa lang eh instead na tikitan ka eh confiscation agad ng license! hanggang ngayon ba applicable yang "TOOLS" na yan or may expiration date or forever? naguguluhan ako...
:boom1:

Siguro mga bossing suggest ko lang, dahil naguguluhan din ako sa best action na gagawin if evermahuli tayo na wala namang violation is that the moderator will post an official list of actions na dapat natin gawin at pagkaisahan natin lahat in order to protect ourselves from these KOTONG mmda's and informed ang lahat yung exact hotline na reliable to help us with such situations.

Meron bang published na booklet ang MMDA nang traffic rules and corresponding violations? As drivers meron dapat tayo nito lahat at well informed tayo. Dahil if wala talaga tayo kasalanan at hinuli we know exactly where our rights are.

Nadali na rin ako dati nung Swerving Violation. Until i checked this The Official Website of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority. 750 daw penalty fee ko. Wala kasi ako nakita na swerving sa violation and penalties ng MMDA. Paki point naman sakin kung meron baka naduling lang ako at hindi ko nakita.

Let me share my MMDA story:

One thursday morning I decided to bring our Nissan Urvan to the office because we have no client for the day (we do VanforRent business). As I passed by the "pila ng shuttle" I noticed that the line was very long so I followed my instincts and make "pila" to get passengers bound to Makati. 14 passengers rode my van and off we go. Our urvan has dark tint at the back, passenger sides, at the driver's side and front passenger side ,but has clear/no tint at the windshiels. Come c5-kalayaan interchange, I was apprehended by enforcer Jhonny Ramos. He asked me where I was headed and I readily answered "officemates ko mga to, taga subdivision namin and ibababa ko sila lahat sa office - sa Citibank" . Having said that, the enforcer replied "colorum yan sir, tignan mo punong-puno" to which I cannot deny. He was giving me lectures pa about colorum drivers and their dangers to commuting passengers but I cut him short and said "tikitan mo na lang ako, mas malaki mawawala saken kapag na-late ako"

So, he pulled his booklet and scribbled. Then he handed me the ticket amounting to f**king 7,200php!!! My violations daw were colorum (6K), obstruction and something I cannot understand (1,200). He even let me sign the ticket. I truly cannot waste anymore minutes arguing so I signed the ruddy form. Take note: HE TOOK MY LICENSE saying I must get it back in MMDA Orense.

Afterwhich, I called my father informing about what happened. He then advises me to contest it (though I'm not sure if I'll win) and told me to resume the day and work first.

To make things short, I was scheduled for 2 consecutive hearings for 2 weeks, meaning I had to file a VL in order to attend. Things got interesting when Jhonny Ramos failed to show up in the first hearing. The lady whom I contacted for the hearing said that the enforcer was "suspended" for a couple of days for a reason I don't care to know. This gave me high hopes in winning the case.

The second hearing was set right after one week but to my surprise, the enforcer failed to show up again! I was then told to proceed to the part of the room where the enforcer and the contestee was seated face to face between a lawyer to discuss the matter. Of course, only the lawyer is present that time and he let me tell my side of the story. I told him that my passengers are only 6, two of them are my uncle and aunt, and the remaining are my neighbors (the ticket didn't specify how may passengers I am carrying). He laugh and told me "pasensya na kayo sir, matanda na kasi ung enforcer na yan, makulit pa" with smiles on his face. I know I won the case when I'm asked to present an ID. After handling the lawyer my Metrobank ID, he said " talaga si mang jhonny, pati taga metrobank tinatalo! Okay na 'to sir, wait ka na lang ng release ng license mo"

My license was released after 3 days without me paying even a single cent for it

The moral of the story: Huwag mag-colorum! hahaha

at ang lakas pa ng loob mong i-post dito yan sir.. tsk tsk tsk.. dapat sa van nyo inimpound dahil nga colorum para pinagbayad kayo ng 6k..

wag nyo na sana ulitin. may trabaho naman kayo aagawan nyo pa ng customers yung mga tsuper na nagbayad ng prangkisa..

[KIANTOT]

mukhang nag iisang enforcer yung nanghuli sayo, kung anti colorum operation group makahuli sayo siguarado wala ka lusot, impounded ka pa minsan ng 3months kung sakaling matyempo ka

Sorry kung necropost pero eto na experience ko kahapon Hinuli ako sa may intersection na pag nag left ka papuntang metrowalk from Emerald dito sa Ortigas at ang violation ko daw eh hindi ako nag left turn. Sa sobrang pagmamadali ko, inalok ko ng 100 ayaw niya at inexplain ko na hindi ako pwede umuwi hanggat hindi ko dala lisensya ko kase kinuha tapos sabi niya habang tinekitan ako kase hindi daw ako nag left turn singitan ko na lang daw ng 250 pamasko ko na daw sa kanya. Pwede ko ba siya kasuhan na nangotong or sayang lang panahon ko at ipaubaya ko na lang siguro sa Karma.

[KIANTOT]

^^Pwede mo ireport pero sana nakuhanan ng video or dapat narecord mo yung conversation nyo habang nanghihingi ng pamasko.... next time niyan sir friends na kayo
