Narinig ko rin nga na malaki commission ng Makati traffic enforcers sa mga fines. This prob'ly is one reason kung bakit napaka-taas ng fines sa Makati (halos three to four times as much) - parang ni-legalize yung kotong and at the same time naging masipag manghuli ang mga traffic enforcers w/o getting marked as kotong cops.

Plus takot mga tao mahuli o maging pasaway sa Makati - isipin natin, kahit mga PUV's sumusunod sa kanila!

hehe. pag isang damukal na ang putik sa PN?!

shempre di naman ganun kadumi, wag lang ako huhulihin with the dirt that can be removed with mild duster strokes. yun ang sinasabi kong OA.

Makati...Mahalin Natin...Atin ito...hehe wtf?!!!

makati rate and singil nila sa violations kaya mahal!

parkingan lang sa makati eh, ang mahal maningil sa sandaling oras.

no offense to all concerned, bakit naman kasi kelangan pa ng plate cover?
proteksyon sa dumi at alikabok o sa bangga, gas gas, vandal?

sa tingin ko dudumi rin yun sa singit-singit dahil nanunuot din ang alikabok at putik at tubig-ulan (lulumot pa). lam naman natin na ma-polusyon sa atin eh.

di rin gnun ka-helpful ang cover bilang proteksyon. panu pag nabangga ka, pareho lang mawawasak ang plate number at cover.

baka naman talagang may tinataguan ang iilan sa atin kaya gustong lumusot sa coding kung maaari, yun dapat ang talagang hulihin

kung di man, balak mang -hit and run.

kung gusto mo talaga i-preserve ang plate number, i-uwi mo nalang sa bahay tapos pagawan mo ng kwardo o frame at lagay mo sa vacuum na lugar. tsak yun, ilang dekada aabutin nun.

may mas maraming mahahalagang bagay na dapat gastusan at alagaan sa tsikot. i would care less about my plates. in my experience, mas mabilis pa nga nabubulok ang body ng ride ko eh, which is a bigger problem!

wala po akong particular na sinasabihan. just saying my opinion. thanks! astig!

Ilang dekada nga ang aabutin nun, kaya lang yung pagdikit naman ng LTO ang magiging problema; you have to do that every year.

At syempre kelangan nakadikit yun sa plaka mismo, hindi sa plate cover like some people do.

Hassle talaga ang plates when you've got more important car-related concerns to think about. But the thing is, our plates are government property, which is why we renew our registration every year. Therefore we are duty-bound to maintain them. Plate covers are not a perfect solution to protecting car plates, but they can at least minimize the effects of the elements, enough to make sure the plates are still readable. Hindi ko lang maintindihan yung iba kasi kung bakit kailangang colored pa yung ilagay na cover. Kaartehan na lang yun eh.

Try to avoid renewing your vehicle registration for a year, and you'll find out who really owns your car. :D

with regard to the TS,

im not really sure about your case (since im not into using plate covers), either you or mapsa is right.

if you really have the time and so much effort, you may continue the hearing. in that way malilinawagan ikaw at ang mapsa kung anu talaga ang batas. magkakaalaman din soon. after that siguro, masasabi na sa atin lahat kung anu talaga ang tama at mali bout sa issue na yan.

balitaan mo kami sir kung anu nangyari to have a true fact about sa controversial na cover plates na yan. hope maging ok naman ang kalabasan ng gagawin mong action.

if it sees that you are really in violation, ang question nalang siguro eh, bakit naman ganun kalaki ang fine? i think dun ka rin nagtataka other than the legality of your colored cover.

again, good luck and keep us updated. salamat po!

Why in the world would anyone want a tinted license plate cover???!!!

a bit OT but related sa makati's fine and enforcement..

narinig ko sa radio kanina, may nagrereklamo kay tulfo. hinuli daw sya sa makati kasi maluwag daw side mirror ng motor nya kaya wala sa tamang alignment, fine is also 2,500..

imho, tama naman yung pagkahuli dahil useless din yung side mirror kung di naka-align. medyo malaki lang masyado yung fine for a minor violation..

regarding "tinted" plate covers, i see no other purpose in using one other than to get away with coding violation..
