Bawal na daw ang blingbling mags?

[nc28]

Any reactions regarding this one. Kasi i've read and heard a lot that those big chrome rims eh bawal na. Is it just the chrome wheels? To those people girl/boy owners of chromed rims comments and reactions please.Yung mags ko, 2 months old palang. Any experiences na nahuli na or nasita na regarding their rims.

According to a friend who's an LTO officer, any kind of modification to your car is illegal. Even changing the size of your tires is illegal. It's just that they don't apprehend these kinds of violations.

Yup, even engine mods like aftermarket filters, headers, ignition controllers, etc are supposedly illegal based on LTO rules.

WTF?!! As in lahat?

[Nik]

pero bakit hindi ma enforce tong rules na to? kaya wala natatakot eh kaya lahat ng mods pwede padin.. hindi kasi na eenforce

[ghosthunter]

WTF?!! As in lahat?

Well, yeah. I've known about it for many years even before the speed-limit discussion years ago on tsikot.com. But its never enforced.

I find the law kinda weird. I am not even sure what was the thought behind it.

For one, there is no clear cut guidelines. Given that, even the installation of an aftermarket car alarm can be considered illegal.

The law about it is pretty much vague about specifics, probably the same goes for the intelligence level of the original author of this law.

And given there is no moral problem about cars mods in general, the law is pretty much ignored by everyone.

[Type 100]

That's pretty dumb.

Top Gear Philippines has the lowdown on what is and isn't street-legal on an old issue of Robby Consunji's column "Wheels of Justice." Turns out the law is from 1964 and so it offers only very general guidelines.

Nothing mentioned there that prohibits mods apart from the obvious: no red lights in front, no strobes or sirens.

Perhaps a study of the motor vehicle code is in order before LTO people spout such sweeping statements such as "all modifications are banned"?

The restrictions are not clear. If it were to be enforced, placing tint can be considered illegal.

And I would really doubt if this will be enforced, because if it will be ... god, please help me. :hysterical:

What the f?! "Batas" na ba yan? kung hindi, hindi ka nila pwedeng hulihin. pag hinuli ka sila kasuhan mo dahil hindi pa ito batas.

Matagal ng batas yan, if you read the previous posts. It's just not being enforced.

[EVO-V]

It simply is one of those forgotten laws that time passed without much thought.

[niwde11]

so pano nilang huhulihin ang puj which has no basis kung na-alter na.:D

[speed unlimited]

Nagpapakitang gilas lang ang mga nasa LTO . Iyong tint nga sangkaterba na mga sasakyan meron ito na siguro ang susunod na pagkakainitan.

[erick_214]

Dapat huliin muna nila lahat ng jeep, tricycle, kuliglig dahil wala talaga sila sa safety standards kung safety ang pagbabasihan ng law nila...

[shakatak70]

Sa totoo lang po yung mga violation na ina-akala natin na bago at mga "out of this world" ay matagal na po iyang nasa listahan ng LTO at naisabatas na. Gaya po ng makikintab na panels gaya ng mga owner, yung mga tambutso na maiingay, maruming mga plaka, at kung anu-ano pa ay di lang naipapatupad ng maayos at ningas cogon lamang po sa umpisa.

Ang karamihan kasi sa mga batas na yan dahil sa sobrang tagal at nilumot at nalimot na ng panahon ay nawawala na rin sa mga bukabolaryo ng mga kinauukulan. Dahil sa umpisa lamang po naging magaling at di po lagi-ang naipapatupad ng ayos ng mga kinauukulan, kalaunan po ito'y nagiging tama sa pananaw ng mga motorista. Na pag natawag ang pansin hingil sa bagay na ito ay nagrereklamo agad na kung mayroon bagang gay-on na batas.

Ay siya mahaba na po at dito na lang po ....BOW!!!

[Bogeyman]

It just shows how government is in dire need of revenue these days.

Pero banned man o hindi, eyesore pa rin yan for me. Ilang beses na akong naawa sa tuwing may makikita akong guwapong SUV na may naglalakihang chrome wheels, minsan spinners pa! Eww....:D

"Ignorance of the law excuses no one..." but then again, ignorance is bliss...

I better remove my carbon fiber shift knob and dashboard accent...it might compromise the car's safety...and the fog lamps too.

That's your parliament at work! Jeez, this law needs an overhaul...same with the 80's-era speed limit.
