What petty things? Things such as trying to prevent some lawbreakers and possible criminals from roaming our streets?

Granted the some people with legit reasons for not having plates (such as having no plate available upon car purchase) have been inconvenienced by this act, I do see the good in this.

We all do know that some criminals use (possibly stolen) cars and motorcycles with no plates so this would be one way to deter their criminal acts.

Also, it's about time someone did something about those vehicles with uber-tinted plates that you can barely even see the outlines of the plate number! Some people think tinted plate covers are cool but as one tsikot member has said before, how cool do you think it would be if it was you or a family member who gets sideswiped on the streets, with witnesses being unable to get the plate number because the plate covers were tinted (or if there were no plates attached at all).

Point taken. I do understand the reason for this.

But what's bothering is that they have no hesitations to disperse quite a number of policemen to monitor the streets for cars with no plates, plate number covers etc., 'cause there must have been more than 10 cops flagging down vehicles yesterday, it was literally an overkill (for me). Couldn't 2 to 5 cops do the trick? And if this is something that is seriously being implemented, why is it that they were not there to monitor the streets today?

There's a thread here about the salisi boys along Edsa, shouldn't this be more bothering than brand new vehicles without plates? Because these kids are really committing crimes at a very early age.

I guess what I'm trying to say is for me there are bigger problems out there that need that kind of intense attention from the officers.

Yes, I also see your point about bigger problems that should be addressed by the authorities. It is unfortunate, however, that not all these problems are and can be focused on by the police, the reasons for which may be wrong administrative prioritization, lack of personnel, etc. Whatever the case, at least regarding this particular problem, we can see that they are doing something about it, if only for a day.

I cannot presume to know the exact reason for sending so many cops for the said apprehension activity. I am guessing that since it's probably just a 1-day operation, and knowing that there are really a lot of motorists violating the no plate no travel policy, they would be needing more personnel to accost all the violators. Hindi naman sandali lang ang pag-flag down ng vehicles then going through the motions of the apprehension. So if there were just a few cops doing the job, baka marami ding makakalusot.

Ako more than a month bago ko nakuha ang plate. Nagrequest kasi ako ng 7 or 8 ang ending. April 23 ko nailabas yong sasakyan naibigay sa akin yong plate may 27. Siguro nga normal na yong 3-4 weeks yong iba nga daw umaabot ng 4 months.

got mine in two weeks, with the ending i also wanted. i noticed in the OR/CR that the registration was a week earlier, so i'm presuming pwede naman talagang ilabas ang plaka at the soonest possible time.

I've been waiting 13 weeks for my motorcycle plate to show up. I've lost count of the number of times I've been to the dealer to enquire, each time they say 'bukas na lang' One time recently while I was there I noticed a delivery guy arrived with a pile of about 30 plates. Hmmm. The staff quickly hid them away. Batch processing I thought to myself. Illegal. I'm not alone though, chatting with some of the other customers they have had equally long waits, often far longer. Having been to both the PNP and the LTO, both these agencies say that when they receive the paperwork it would take 7 days at most to process right through to a nice shiny new set of plates on your car. A week back I gave the dealer an ultimatum, get me the plate by Monday, or I go to the DTI and submit a formal complaint with the help of my attorney. I guess they think I am bluffing since I still don't have the plate. So, tomorrow I'm off to the DTI. Does anyone know of any other actions I can take against the dealer? I'm not after money, fame, or fortune, I just want my plate so I can ride without the worry of a checkpoint on the other side of every bridge I face up to. Can I go to the LTO myself and get a certification for travel, or does the dealer have to do that? Thanks in advance. :-)

OR CR ba is usable ba pag na flag down ka because of no plate? or still the same impound pa din? na registered na daw kasi kami and because we requested for a 5 or 6 ending so to follow pa daw yung plate #.

thanks

saan makakhanap ng official no plate no travel policy? from what agency? pnp or tmg specifically?

[driven]

as far as i know, no plate no travel policy are being enforced by local governments, bawat city nga may kanya kanyang policy eh... i was once apprehended in makati in which akala ko kasi wala akong plate, yun pala color coding... last number sa conduction sticker ko daw kasi yun binabase if no plates available pa, hehehe, oh diba? makati lang ang may ganung policy

so after that, ginawa ko nagtawag ako sa mga kanya kanyang city hall to verify, it came out talaga na ganun ang makati, i also learned that ang san juan, talagang they strictly enforce "no plate, no travel policy", unless you secure some kind of special permit from LTO (not only a less than 1 week old delivery receipt from car dealer), that's the only time they will allow... so far sa ibang mga cities hindi naman ganun kaarte

I am all for this. It is about time our law enforcers implemented it. Many have said it is a deterrent to committing crime and I totally agree with this.

The onus is now on the car dealers to release sold units with plates. Am sure these dealers have enough clout to get plates for the units. Leave it to them to work on the plates. Delayed plates, delayed release. The units consume valuable showroom or service space.

We're also guilty. Though we have the plates on hand, we don't install them to buy more time to get by color coding. Why the hell is it still known as color coding? Makati's implementation of color coding using the last digit of conduction stickers is a great idea to get those who want to make palusot on coding days. I will take note of having the plates installed on a new unit I buy. Need to follow the rules.

I have to agree about making plates visible. Tinting, dirtying, altering or making it difficult to visually see the plate is a serious violation. It should merit the same penalty as no plates.

The motorcycle plates are too small. Should double the size. Wala ba color coding these motorcycles and scooters? Once, after a heavy downpour, I was going home at night. Saw this guy on a scooter texting in one hand with the other hand on the handlebar. Ay sus! Any published stats regarding motorcycles and scooters? This guy is asking to join his maker.:fire:

Wang wangs are only allowed for a select few (per DZMM). How come they are used by congressmen and senators? What's the regulation on this? Di ba the President, the vice president, the speaker of the house and the senate prez are the only ones allowed apart from cops, ambulance and fire trucks? Dapat impounded yung mga may illegal wang wang. Me, I don't move aside when I hear a car behind me use their wang wang unless it is one of those mentioned earlier. Do you do the same? deadma the wang wangers who don't deserve to have one? Mahirap lang baka may baril. Now that's another issue.
