I wonder what disguise you will get to look like a European?

if your skin tone is the same with binay, no disguises in the world would make you look like one....hehehe

AFAIK. wala pong immunity yung driver na pinoy. only the diplomat and the car. like, hindi pwede i tow ang car kung naka illegal parking, pero pwede tiketan yung driver na pinoy for disregarding taffic signs. e karamihan sa traffic enforcers natin di naman yata alam karamihan na violations.

ganun ba? but how can they apprehend yun driver kung yun car is immune? eh di hinde nila pwede parahin yun car hence hinde rin mahuli yun driver....

I think whoever is driving the car eh immune sa local traffic violations...

Wala tayo magawa basta white and blue ang plates

Actually, it's only the diplomat po. Pero not only the ambassador. There are varying levels of immunity depende sa rank mo sa embassy. Ang problema, gaya nung sabi nung mod, it's waaay too complicated for the level of the enforcers. Pulis at karamihan ng mamamayan nga eh hindi masyado alam paano iimplement yun?

In New York they're allowed to confiscate the plates of diplomatic cars if 3 or more parking tickets are not paid within 100 days.

i don't think diplomatic immunity covers traffic violations. pwede sila ticketan. only thing is, they don't pay it. like in new york at the UN gaya ng sabi ni jang. the philippine mission at the UN is one of the major violators yata, with hundreds of thousands in fines unpaid.
