Hi! Yes, there are a lot of sites enumerating various traffic violations but there are still some of us who need a little enlightenment on some of these. I hope those who are in a position to contribute (lawyers, policemen, MMDA personnel etc), share their posts on this thread. For the sake of uniformity, can we please follow this format:

Common name of the Traffic Violation and/or(Official name of the Traffic Violation)- description; how it is committed; fine; other helpful information related to the violation

e.g.

SWERVING (Reckless Driving/Disregarding Traffic Signs)- according to my readings on this thread, swerving is defined as "shifting for 2 or more lanes very quickly. Swerving IS NOT a traffic violation. Moving one lane to the left or right is not swerving, no matter where on the road you do it. And it is even less of a violation when you do it with a signal. You cannot be officially charged with "Swerving" but of "Reckless Driving" if you do indeed commit the mistake. According to the LTO website (as of this posting date), the fine for first time violators of "Reckless Driving" is Php1000.
