Commemorative Plates [Merged]

**angst** · May 13th, 2008 01:18 PM

A friend told me that he has encountered several vehicles being apprehended in the Guadalupe, Makati area for the sole reason that they have commemorative plates. Gusto daw ng traffic enforcer kita pa rin ang original plate. Ang clear kaya sa rules na ang plate should be "on top" of the original plate. Not above! Gusto lang talaga nilang kumita ng pera.

Bad news folks. Sabi sa Philippine star, the LTO has released a new guideline regarding commemorative plates: “The commemorative plate shall not be superimposed over the regular plate. It shall be installed in front of a motor vehicle either at the right side or left side of the regular plate. As such, the regular plate shall be maintained in the space provided for the purpose. Removal thereof shall be deemed a violation of this order. No commemorative plate shall be installed at the rear of a motor vehicle. Placing the commemorative plate at the rear of a motor vehicle shall be strictly prohibited and penalized accordingly.”

Ang labo ng ruling na ito. Ano ang gusto ng LTO, I will drill a hole sa bumper ko to accomodate the two plates.

Motoring
From commemorative to decorative
MOTORING TODAY By Ray Butch Gamboa, SPMJ

The latest ruling from the Department of Transportation & Communications (DOTC) regarding the use and issuance of commemorative plates says, “The commemorative plate shall not be superimposed over the regular plate. It shall be installed in front of a motor vehicle either at the right side or left side of the regular plate. As such, the regular plate shall be maintained in the space provided for the purpose. Removal thereof shall be deemed a violation of this order. No commemorative plate shall be installed at the rear of a motor vehicle. Placing the commemorative plate at the rear of a motor vehicle shall be strictly prohibited and penalized accordingly.”

I have no quarrel against this new ruling. Actually I feel that it should have been issued as soon as the “color-coding” scheme of the MMDA was implemented to have an even playing field for everyone. It’s common knowledge that having a commemorative plate gives one undue advantage as it hides the regular plate at the front of the vehicle and therefore would make it difficult for traffic enforcers to immediately determine whether you should be out of the road or not.

My only concern is whether this new ruling was given ample publicity and a given period long enough for motorists who have such plates to know the new order regarding installation and implement the changes. If not, such deficiency could be a cause for harassment and eventually extortion by unscrupulous traffic enforcers who would take advantage of the motorists’ ignorance of the new rule.

I’m sure this new regulation would take a lot of attraction from these commemorative plates especially to those who cherish them as a way of getting around the MMDA’s “color-coding” scheme.

sir kaya po siguro nasabi ng friend ninyo na maraming naghuhuli sa site na iyon, malamang po kalalabas lang ng order or guidelines as to where dapat ang placement ng mga comm plates. Nakakainis nga po kasi mapipilitan rin akong alisin comm plate ko kasi hindi makikita may bullbar!

That's the biggest question. Unless you are willing to drill holes in your bumper, complying with the LTO new directive is almost impossible.
