TMG nagbabala vs TINTED Frame sa Plaka ng sasakyan

[ghosthunter]

You guys realize the tinted plate covers are an effect of the color coding scheme?

yup, if there was no traffic coding, almost no one would be tinting their plate covers.

So to solve the problem of tinted plate covers, we have to get to the root of the problem... remove the "odd-even" traffic coding scheme!!!

[ghosthunter]

anyone reacting in regards to "tipped" license plate holders?

By ARIS R. ILAGAN

The Philippine National Police (PNP) has issued strict guidelines for the proper display of Land Transportation Office (LTO) vehicle license plates in an effort to curb incidents of criminality in Metro Manila and other critical areas.



Deputy Director General Avelino Razon Jr., PNP deputy chief for administration, said in an interview that they have received several complaints regarding the proliferation of plastic license plate covers that are heavily tinted, making them almost unreadable even from within a short distance.

Such kind of plastic license plate covers were being used by criminal syndicates, particularly carjackers, in their illicit activities, Razon said.

"We have been receiving reports that criminal elements have resorted to using these tinted LTO license plates. We are going to be strict against these illegal plate covers," Razon said.

Also, other owners of vehicles with tinted license plate covers use the scheme to evade apprehension on violation of the vehicular volume reduction scheme which is more popularly known as the "odd-even" traffic law.

According to the PNP-Traffic Management Group (PNP-TMG), the recommended guidelines for the proper display and use of regular LTO car plates are as follows:

- The regular plates should be displayed as it is and should not be covered with glass, plastic, acetate, wire mesh or other coverings, which may make letters and numbers unreadable.
- Regular plates should also not be tampered, altered, or painted with other colors other than the authorized original paint color.

- The regular plate should not be placed on top of other foreign car plates such that other numbers or letters of such foreign car plate are made to appear as part of the regular LTO plates letters and numbers.

- Commemorative plates should not cover (be superimposed over) the regular plates but may be displayed on top or below the regular plate using different plate holder or frame may be displayed on the front windshield or placed on top of the lower right corner of the dash board.

Razon asked motorists to strictly adhere to the PNP guidelines on the proper display of the LTO license plates to avoid inconvenience of being flagged down by authorities, specifically on police checkpoints.

Also, the PNP is strictly implementing the "No plate, no travel" policy in all police camps nationwide as part of its intensified anti-criminality campaign in the country

teka, ano ba bawal? covers dahil nagiging potentially unreadable sila, or covers which make it unreadable. those are 2 different things...

The regular plates should be displayed as it is and should not be covered with glass, plastic, acetate, wire mesh or other coverings, which may make letters and numbers unreadable.

They should qualify whether the banned plate cover is tinted or clear; at least clear covers help protect the plate from the elements without compromising readability.

Otherwise, a motorist might be liable for violation 16B: Dirty or uncared for plates.

Yap, clear plate covers should still be permitted coz they are very clear to read... mas malinaw pa kaysa mga utak ng mga pulitiko ngayon

Actually yung plates with no frames, protective glass or plastic lenses look cleaner and gives a better overall look for the car. Malinis tignan, wala masyado abubot.

Here in the US marami ako nakikitang may license plate frames, on some states like Georgia pwede ka pa nga magdrive without any plates. But in California, the front is required (for speed traps). So what I just do is remove the frames both front and rear, it looks so much cleaner that way. Less clutter, less to clean.

Yung may mga protective lenses, isipin niyo madali rin yan madumihan. Oras na nag-crack yun, lagot na tanggal kagad yan dahil mag-accumulate yung dirt and it looks really bad.

I'm sure with the clear plates, minsan the light is just in a position perfect for others to see the glare (reflected light) from the sun or from another light source kaya it may still hinder one from seeing the plates clearly.

I had my CRV for 5 years using the clear Deflector series car plate cover and I never had to clean the inside. Binubuksan ko lang kelangan na i-dikit LTO sticker every year.
