    How much is a speeding ticket back there? Can you still bribe them? I remember back in college, I just give them P100. I got pulled over one time for expired tags, expired driver's license, custom painted tags and I believe I was driving during my coding day - cop asked P1,200 which I was forced to pay since they took my DL.
    The MMDA fine is P2,000 if they catch you speeding with their fancy lidar gun.

    As of what I know, the MMDA only has lidar guns in use along Macapagal and Commonwealth Ave.
    NLEX and SCTEX use radar guns, sometimes in a "pop" style.
    SLEX is using lidar on a certain section but not often.
    Coastal road (to Cavite) was playing with some radar guns over a year ago but no definite news if they are using them.
