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

Suntukan muna bago makuha ang license

Marami na akong nabasa na ang sabi ay hindi dapat kumpiskahin ang lisensya.

Last sunday nakumpiska ang drivers license ng father ko sa Pasay(in-front of shell) dahil sa pagtawid sa solid lane na hindi naman napansin dahil sa lakas ng ulan,at may ordinance daw sila na mangumpiska ng lisensya! ayaw namin talaga maglagay kaya tinuluyan, sa Bulacan pa kami umuuwi, so need pa nya tubusin sa Pasay! Paano kung sa Ilocos or Bicol nakatira ang nakumpiskahan at saturday or sunday(meaning close ang office para tubusin ang lisensya).

Totoo po ba na dapat ay hindi na kinukumpiska ang lisensya kung minor traffic violation lang naman? nakakatakot na po kasi dahil kagaya nyan balak namin pumunta ng Olongapo paano kung makumpiska na naman ang lisensya at araw naman ng sabado at walang office.
