NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[claRkEnt]

just curious bro, how can you have such a downgrade?

depends on the mood of the apprehending officer and the way you "deal" with them. Usually those assigned on expressways won't let violators go scot-free. So kung medyo "mabait" ka namang kausap, they downgrade the violation. I had mine (overspeeding) downgraded to obstruction. Yun nga lang, seminarista pa rin

thanks for your point...

I don't mind paying if I was really over-speeding... it seems that there is no speedcam photo captured that can be provided, hence my point on what options / remedies do we have against potential abuses of these LTO deputised folks...

Simple lang naman eh. If you know hindi ka nag over speed walang question regarding sa huli mo. Kung alam mo na hindi ka nag over speed kaagad agad sasabihin mo sa kanila na hindi ka lumalagpas sa 100kph.

At right there makikipagtalo kana at sasabihin mo na hindi mo pipirmahan yung ticket kasi contest mo.

Remedies of what? Abuses? Kasi kung alam mo hindi ka nag over speed paano ka ma-abuse. Ikaw na nagsabi na lumalagpas ka sa 100kp pero short burst lang at sa mga overtaking pero nag over speed ka pa din. Yung sandali mo nakuhanan ka nun.

Kung constant nasa 100kph ka lang at hindi ka lumalagpas mahuhuli kaba? Ma abuse ka ba? Huwag natin bigyan dahilan ang mga kamaliaan natin. Follow the Rule then NO question.

just talk to them politely.. mararamdaman mo naman kung madali kausap.. then lokohin mo lang baka pwede i downgrade na lang.. tingnan mo lang kung papayag..

The other thing is TPLEX is under San Miguel group while NLEX - SCTEX supposedly managed under MVP group. Hence, are the folks deputised by LTO with supposed speed cam guns employed by San Miguel or MVP companies or directly by LTO?

TIA!

Both answers shouldn't matter in your case. Although I believe they are employed by the private sector but is licensed by the LTO to issue tickets. We all know how inefficient the government is... and I'm pretty sure these private companies won't like variables as a possible business risk.

Just follow na lang yun speed limit para wala nang problema. Makakarating naman siguro tayo sa paruroonan natin ng walng trapik violation. Saka wala namang matatawa o masisiyahan kng overspeeding o mabilis tayo magpatakbo, d naman race track yung expressway at d naman race car dala natin. Mas maganda ang konsumo sa di mabilis na takbo at makareact agad tayo incase may problema sa daan. Ingat lng sa pagdrive at follow lng yung trapik rules.

actually, it does... if you read in the context of my recent experience...

if you get caught along NLEX, you can expect that they will email you a copy of your speedcam capture

so far, if you get caught along TPLEX, you cannot be sure if they really caught you overspeeding since they cannot email you a copy of the speedcam capture

Whether that is a matter influenced by these private companies, I am not sure and hence, I ask the question to help get enlightenment and also for others to learn from this.

If the LTO deputies are employed, managed or governed consistently, I would expect that if you are supposedly caught on a speedcam to have the same protocols, right?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts though. I am sure there will be more folks who can chime in and learn from this.

Learn from what?

I think you're right...

just talk to them politely.. mararamdaman mo naman kung madali kausap.. then lokohin mo lang baka pwede i downgrade na lang.. tingnan mo lang kung papayag..

good suggestion... there were three of them, so I guess might be difficult to pull this off...
