2-digit plater apprehended in Makati!

[Horsepower]

Nope, you've been had.

AFAIK, coding refers to ending numbers of plates only,

conduction sticker is not and cannot be used as a license plate.

Ergo, conduction stickers are not included.

[ian_rex]

labo talaga sa atin

[CVT]

Kung talagang exempted ang 2-numbered plate sa atin, e di hamak na mas mura ito kesa bumili ka ng isa pang sasakyan.... At, ispesyal pa ang plaka mo.....Magandang oportunidad ito...

Tama lang sigurong kasama pa rin ito sa "coding scheme".

[ozcity]

hopeless na talaga ....2 or more post nagbibigay "lagay" or tumatanggap ng "lagay" para makaiwas sa aberya...

anyway magulo kasi ang mga nagpapatupad ng batas sa pinas...kanya kanya....

[Driv3er]

bat ba kasi pumapayag yung gobyerna na may sariling traffic enforcers ang makati. kung MMDA sa iba dapat MMDA na sa buong metro manila.

[badsekktor]

ang motor walang color coding.

[Galactus]

Sorry kung medyo off topic but a few months ago, I was apprehended also sa Makati cuz yung ending ng conduction sticker ko is nagkataon same sa coding day. Wala pa me plates that time cuz bago lang auto.

Totoo ba na kasama sa coding pati conduction stickers? Nagmamadali lang ako pumunta sa airport that time kaya di nalang ako nakipag-away at inabutan ko nalang yung nanghuli.

AFAIK, conduction stickers are not included sa coding.

BUT, you are given only 1 week from date of release ng vehicle to use the car. After that, pwede ka nang hulihin, ESPECIALLY in Makati

Ang alam kong walang coding ay yung mga vanity plates. Wala rin palang coding ang mga 2-digit plates? Kasi kung titignan mo ang price difference kumpara sa ilang customized 3-digit plates ~5,000 lang, so parang ang layo naman ng narating nung ~5,000 na iyon kung walang coding.

Tama, vanity plates, i.e. 888888 & 777777, are the one which are supposedly exempted sa coding that is with regards to MMDA & LTO.
Special plates, i.e. 2/3-digit plates, GMA 100, LRM 99 are not exempted sa coding.

sa alam ko ang mga plates with two digits are still not exepted sa mga codings ... wat you pay for the 25k is the "uniqness" of it being a 2 number plate not of it being exepted.. so pag 77 ka edi thurs ka etc etc

Yup tama, nowhere in the LTO website or any publication said na exempted ang mga ito sa coding.

Para wala kang coding..... bumili ka pa ng ilang sasakyan... 2 for you and 2 more for the wife and probably another 2 more for you eldest son/daughter who already drives....so on and so forth.... 2 more for the mistress???

o kaya mag-commute once a week, o hintayin ang 10-3 window kung di sa makati ang office?

Bottomline, nang dahil dun sa magaling na nagpauso ng odd/even scheme dati... eh lahat ng mga tao mahina ngayon ang dalawang sasakyan....

Unless we see some statistics, baseless assumption yong lahat ng mga tao mahina ngayon ang dalawang sasakyan.

Lets just say na 1 million registered vehicles within metro manila alone (hypothetical only), during the odd/even scheme, only 500K where allowed on the streets but when they changed it to coding, probably 800K where allowed to go around town. Opinion ko lang ito so open ako for a better explanation.

Dito naniniwala ako, logical na malaki ang difference ng odd/even sa color coding.

bat ba kasi pumapayag yung gobyerna na may sariling traffic enforcers ang makati. kung MMDA sa iba dapat MMDA na sa buong metro manila.

kasi sir, demokratiko po ang gobyerno natin. antayin na lang natin manalo si Lito Lapid sa makati.


Here's an article posted at makti.gov.ph:

Vanity plates are “scandalous privilege” to the rich, not exempted from UVVRP in Makati-Binay


posted 09/30/2004 12:00 AM THURSDAY



Private vehicles with vanity plates will not be exempted from the number-coding scheme in Makati.

Aside from aggravating Makati’s traffic condition, Makati Mayor Jejomar C. Binay slammed the exemptions to vanity plate owners as “a scandalous privilege given to the rich.”

“The LTO and the MMDA are sending the wrong signal that you can buy your way out of anything,” Binay said.

“Some of our national officials are fond of invoking the rule of law, and that the law exempts no one, whether rich or poor. But with the exemptions for vanity plate owners, what we are in effect saying is a person can be exempt from the law if he has the money,” he said.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Wednesday agreed to exempt vehicles with vanity plates from the unified vehicular volume reduction (UVVRP) scheme.

Binay said Makati has its own number-coding scheme which does not exempt vehicles with vanity plates. And while City Ordinance 2003-032 allows exemptions, Binay said the city government is not inclined to exempt vanity plate owners.

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) had said the issuance of vanity plates will generate P3.5 billion in revenues for the cash-strapped national government.

But Binay said the scheme was ill-conceived. “You may earn P3 billion, but at a greater cost to the general public and the economy,” he said.

Studies have shown that the UVVRP has reduced the number of vehicles on the road by 20 per cent. “Even with the UVVRP, Makati experiences traffic gridlock. While it is a fact of life in financial centers worldwide, traffic congestion does have an effect on productivity,” he said.

The exemption privilege may earn money for the government, “but it defeats the very essence and spirit of the law towards more efficient traffic management,” he said.

The Makati City passed Council Ordinance 2003-031 in 2003. Another ordinance, 2003-010, increases the number coding penalty from P300 to 500.

In my humble opinion, Lito Lapid might trigger the meltdown of Makati if ever he is installed. He doesn't have the intelligence (or say mental capacity) to run a city like Makati.

While I don't like Binay that much, I still prefer him over Lapid anytime of the day simply because businesses in Makati affect other businesses nationwide (that means i could be affected too or any of you for that matter). Ergo, it's a delicate thing to run and we need people with proven intelligence/wit and experience to handle such enormous task.

di ba vanity plates are to be placed on top of or above the rear plates? so you will still be flagged down by enforcers since they will see your front plates first. then what, you'll explain to them that you have vanity plates at the back?

[mini_macky]

ang alam ko yung vanity plates dapat sa likod, hindi sa harap. weird, huh?

OT po.

One other source of exemption are those PNP stickers that are issued by the so called Police Justice Group. My cousin has one and he atttests to the benefits that he is getting for 2,000 pesos. He got an ID, letter from the PJG office and the sticker. He does not get flagged down by the MMDA, cops and Makati personnel.

so i take it your cousin is not in the police justice group? hmm...galing talaga ng pinoy, basta may lusot, shoot!

Some might say, we got strings of very intelligent/witty presidents, and look where it got us? And the regular rallies being held in Makati; the entirely different 'trafficking' practices; doesn't that affect businesses too? Or you mean it will get worse than this with Lito? Because it just feels like Binay would oppose anything that comes from the Palace, and that would have some effect too.
Let's hope somebody else with good character and sufficient intelligence would run for mayor in Makati. Di ba taga-Makati si Joker? Hehehe.

weird, di ba?

i guess you'll just have to go on your way or run over the enforcer(joke!) until he see the back of your car
