Mga Traffic Enforcers na namimili ng huhulihin.

[joemarski]

Hulihin din nila mga bulok na sasakyan at mga pangit na driver.

nakaka- lungkot naman 'yon sir.

biro mo, tayo na lang ang matitirang nagma- maneho sa mga kalsada...
'yung iba hinuli at naka- kulong na. :crying:

Daming gutom ata na MMDA TEs...

This is the three-way junction of Madrigal Avenue and Zapote road in Alabang.

The curved road you see on the on the right is actually a private service road that leads to McDonald’s and Alabang Town Center. Motorists like to use this as a shortcut to get to Zapote Road when the light is red.

One early week night just a few weeks ago, I was about to turn into the service road when the light turned green. That got me changing my mind and deciding to go directly to Zapote to make the right turn. The car just in front me had the same idea.

Immediately after turning right, two MMDA enforcers flagged both our cars down, in a rather aggressive manner (as if we had just brazenly broken a law in front of them).

I slowed to a crawl and rolled down my passenger window to ask what my violation was. The enforcer said “no right po dito”. I asked him to show me any sign that indicates it was illegal to turn right there. He pointed to the stop light and said “kita ninyo naman na walang right arrow yung signal light, left at green lang.”

Following his idiotic reasoning, I asked him what the green light was for, because if I followed that and went straight I’d drive into the wall ahead.

He had no response but asked for my driver’s license. I said “pakita muna ng mission order ninyo.”

The guy then turned around and walked away.

I drove up to the next car and loudly told the other driver “wag kang magpapahuli diyan! Wala tayong ginawang mali at nangongotong lang sila!”

That got the enforcer walking away too.

I was so enraged, I wanted to get down from my car and smack those leeches on the head, and teach them a lesson. Better judgement prevailed and I instead took a deep breath and just drove away.

I detest violence, and I’ve hardly ever been involved in fist fights in my life, but I easily could’ve snapped and gone violent on the enforcer who preyed on us that night.

If I had smacked them, there’d be a good probability I’d be in the news (even if my car is nowhere near the level of a Maserati).

I really should install a dash cam already.

I live in the area and understand the fellow's rant. TE's would want those going to alabang to turn right on that private road and join Alabang-Zapote road either on the Gaisano side or at the ATC side (the one near the cinemas). Turning right at that junction IS NOT PROHIBITED. It justs give them an opportunity to earn on the side .

Come to think of it, THE WORST TE's in Muntinlupa can be found along that stretch (Madrigal to Westgate). Those manning the Tierra Nueva and Daang Hari area are, IMHO, more reasonable and use common sense.

I know the place, minsan din instead na sa private road ng ATC ako dumaan na kung saan maraming jeep na nag bababa at nag sasakay, dun na lang ako sa Zapote road kumakanan.

Ang bobo naman ng logic dyan na no right turn, unang una green naman at wala kang ma-i-interrupt na traffic flow. Obvious na mangongotong lang mga yan.
