wait, i thought TEs are not allowed to confiscate licenses unless you're involved in a vehicular accident?

and also, AFAIK swerving is not a traffic violation according to MMDA (under certain conditions), see link Top Gear Philippines | TopGear.com.ph
Yup he actually said it himself. And based on this:
"Moving one lane to the left or right is not swerving, no matter where on the road you do it. And it is even less of a violation when you do it with a signal. Swerving is defined as shifting 2 or more lanes very quickly. So you can argue your way out of this, and call the Metro Base for help."

I didn't swerve. (Moved only from one lane to another)

I think TEs from LGUs can confiscate licenses.

Ang tatapang nga mga TE ngayon ano? Dahil yan kay carabuena at fabros. Feeling ng mga TE kakampi na nila ang lahat.

Nahuli na rin ako dahil sa ganyang reasoning ng TE. Sabi ko lumipat ako ng lane sa broken line. Kung may nabangga ako o binangga ako, problema ko na yun. Sabi ko sa kanya aralin nya muna ang pinapatupad nya bago sya manghuli. Pinaalis naman ako after ko sya ma lecturan.
Too bad I lost my cool. maybe also because I'm a lot younger than he is.
