confiscation of driver's license

[samejicon]

tuwing kelan ba dapat kino-confiscate ang lisensya? Last week kasi nahuli yung friend ko around Isuzu Alabang area because of not wearing the seatbelt. Nagulat ako kasi kailangan daw agad kunin license niya. One more thing, nagmemerienda pa yung pulis na yun sa tabi tapos bigla na lang pinahinto yung sasakyan. nag-aantay lang ng lagay si manong kaso too bad, hindi naman alam ng friend ko kung paano maglagay sa authorities kaya wala tuloy siyang napala. Papalagpasin na sana yung friend ko kaso lagot daw si manong sa boss niyang nag-utos lang sa kanya na parahin yung kaibigan ko. Turns out na dalawa pala sila that time na nagmemerienda.

Kung nagmemerienda sila they're technically off duty. I wouldn't give my license to them, I'd just drive away really.

Ang alam ko hindi dapat i-confiscate ang license. You must show it, but they cannot confiscate it unless the violation you made merits confiscation of the license (something like third offense of the same type, but then again who really records these things for each driver?).

Hmmm.. yun din po naisip ko kaso bata pa kasi yung friend ko and lightly tinted lang yung car na gamit nya that time. Akala siguro rich teenager na mauuto para may lagay sila.

if s/he's not wearing seatbelt then dapat nga hulihin...

mga sira-ulo talaga yung mga traffic enforcers dyan sa alabang area, starting dyan sa may acacia area up to the filinvest area. mabilis silang magpauso ng mga violations dyan.

but since your friend really violated the seat belt law, he should have been ISSUED A CITATION TICKET, NOT HAD HIS LICENSE CONFISCATED. imho, may regulation na ang supreme court dyan that the only guys who can get licenses are from the LTO, afaik.

Marami ngang pulis na nakatambay sa may area na iyan. Hindi ko lang alam kung saan ang merienda-han sa may tapat ng Isuzu,- baka sa may Caltex.

Anyway,- iyon kasing nasa Zap-Alab Rd going to Zapote,- maraming nagko-cross ng intersection diyan sa may Acacia Ave., kahit sila stop pa,- ito ang hinuhuli madalas nila. Pero, pag motor,- malimit pinalalagpas nila....

Not wearing a seatbelt?- dapat lang na hulihin siya, pero hindi dapat i-confiscate ang driver's license....

my license was confiscated at the nlex exit northbound due to over speeding (124 kph) along san fernando - dau portion. Anybody can advise me on how to redeem it at the LTO East ave (where in LTO East ave? ang laki nun) and how much is the penalty? The enforcer informed me that tmy license can be redeemed after 3 days.

Thanks for the advice.

I attended a seminar before and the speaker was formerly with the traffic arbitration group of MMDA and he said these are the only instances where they can confiscate the license:

1. You are involved in an accident
2. You have not settled your previous penalties
3. You are a serial violator
