plate cover operation

[ian_rex]

relax lang mga fellow tsikoteers. medyo umiinit na yata.

while it is true that madalas ngang nangyayari na may mga MO ang mga enforcers natin, marami pa ring mga pasaway na motorista. all for the sake of vanity.

totoong mahirap ngang makita yung plaka kahit na medyo light green ang tint sa glass. well, kung clear (like yung deflector brand) ok lang sya. pero may nakikita akong mga deflector na may shade na yellow - parang na hepa. a yun bawal yun talaga. as for the the JDM plate holder, so long as your glass is clear, it's ok. may iba kasi, naka-JDM plate holder na nga, naka-dark glass covers pa...

Not to condone illegal stuff, but madami ring mga bagay na 'illegal' na ginagawa ang mga noypi sa mga sasakyan nila. AFAIK, even louder horns (for safety) are illegal depende sa humuhuli sa iyo. Same case with dark glass tinting, as well as other seemingly trivial equipment regulations.

I put clear covers on all the Rizal plates because I've noticed that all the non-covered Rizal plates in fleet are faded, discolored, peeling, etc. If they used the previous 'Philippines 2000' plates, a simple frame (to prevent bending) would've been enough.

mdali ng ngang mag fade ang rizal plates...

pero ako wala akong plate cover sa strada...for sure mababasag lang he..he

[OTEP]

OT na iyan: inaalis naman natin plaka kapag sumasabak, ha. hehehe. Dalawa plate cover ko dito. Glass for urban, polycarbonate for cross-country.

bulok kasi rizal plates kaya kelangan may cover to preserve the print. kung hayaan lang e ang sagwa tingnan parang di inaalagaan ang sasakyan.

Medyo OT: With regard to the yellowish or blurred deflector plates, last month I happened to be at an auto supply store in Tarlac at the same time that the distributor for deflector plates was there. He noticed that my front deflector plate was starting to blur, and he asked if I bought it at that store.

Kasi pala, may batch ng deflector plates daw na mali ang pagka-bake kaya madali maging hazy. Yung mga ganun daw pwede papalitan sa store kung san mo binili basta ipakita ang resibo at isauli yung defective cover. The problem was, I didn't buy my deflector at that store (sa QC ko pa yun nabili two years ago), so I just bought a new one and installed it together with my 2006 LTO sticker last month.

And that too is a traffic violation: #16B - Dirty or uncared for plates. Fine - P150

To the OP, can you post a pic of your "clear cover", so that we can see if it is reall clear... and How about those "Deflector", which I think is really clear... hinuhuli rin nila?

[badsekktor]

i have installed clear covers sa plates. masisira kasi yun plaka pag di ka naglagay. ang hirap pa naman kumuha ng replacement. anyway, im not a fan of tinted covers dahil hindi makikita plate number mo. nakakatawa lang ang mga operation na ganito, bakit yun mga bus na lumalabas ng yellow lane eh hindi hinuhuli? as i recall kaya nga ginawa yan yellow lane na yan dahil sa issue ng mg pasaway na bus eh tapos baligtad na ngayon. ang private vehicles ang tinitira...
kaya siguro di pa rin umuunlad pilipinas.....

The clear plate holders serve to protect plates from accidental breakage and exposure to the elements.

some more exposed to the weather than others.... take a look at this plate protector.
