There is always the option of buying a hybrid, Suzuki have a few mild hybrids that are exempt from number coding that sell for reasonable prices. The Ertiga MPV and the Swift hatchback for example. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthdome Posted Monday at 09:40 AM Author Posted Monday at 09:40 AM Looks like the fine is 500 php. But when reviewing the ticket I noticed that he put down 10:28 am for the time. When it was 9:28. Number coding in Pasig is from 7-10am and 5-8 pm. So technically by the ticket I did not violate number coding rules. Should I contest it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the time that it would take to contest the ticket not worth a bit more than 500 PHp? Chances are you would lose your appeal anyway based on the length of your nose---LOL.

If you can be bothered for the sake of 500php that is. And the possibility you'll not get the 10-year licence on the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 9:28 when I was pulled over. Which is a violation. The mmda officer put 10:28 on the ticket by mistake. At 10:28 it is not a violation.

earthdome Posted Monday at 11:13 AM Author Posted Monday at 11:13 AM This was a rhetorical question to see what you think. Not worth my time to contest a 500 php fine. Especially if I can pay it online. There are many ways to avoid these but it all depends on which city in NCR you get stopped. Each city sets its own rules. In Pasig you are exempt if there are at least 4 people in the car. Manila exempts seniors. Medical emergency's are exempt. Too many to know but perhaps an out after the fact. So I need a couple dummies to put in the back seat so it looks like I have 4. Any volunteers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 10:28 it is not a violation. I would just pay the fine. They do wear body cameras and tend to have them switched on when there is no monkey business involved. Contesting the ticket could end up in a seminar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJReyes Posted Monday at 01:10 PM Posted Monday at 01:10 PM Does this mean the old ploy of attaching a P200 bill to your driver's license using a rubber band no longer works? The bill either disappears and the enforcer admonishes your bad driving or, if challenged, you say, "That's my afternoon snack money." Another ploy is to speak in perfect English like a newly arrived visitor. The enforcer is required to explain the offense, and many have a limited ability to speak the language. They don't want the embarrassment and simply hand back your license. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
