Done in 30 seconds! PNP-HPG 'speedy' issuance of tickets to erring EDSA motorists

According to HPG director Chief Superintendent Arnold Gunnacao, his boys will implement the 30-second rule in apprehending erring motorists on EDSA to curb bribery in imposing traffic violations.
They'll flag you down, get your driver's license, then BOOM! Your citation ticket in your face after only 30 seconds!

That's the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group (PNP-HPG) response time in issuing you a ticket when you break a traffic rule while on EDSA.

According to HPG director Chief Superintendent Arnold Gunnacao, his boys will implement the 30-second rule in apprehending erring motorists on EDSA to curb bribery in imposing traffic violations.

The traffic cops will also undergo constant reshuffling of posts so they can avoid some unscrupulous operators and drivers from "familiarizing" with them.

Gunnacao warned that HPG cops and motorists who will be engaged in bribery shall be immediately arrested. To be able to do this, our guess is he may deploy several secret marshals on the road to watch over the traffic cops and the motorists.

In an article from ABS-CBN News, it said about 150 personnel from the HPG will be deployed in six focal points, with a complement of 10 more personnel from police districts per focal point.

NCAP traffic cams are back: Why checking just one portal isn't enough anymore

Think you drove clean through the capital today? Don't celebrate just yet. The high-resolution CCTV cameras mounted above Metro Manila intersections are quietly switching back on, and missing a single digital notification could mean heavy fines waiting for you down the line. ​ The Eye in the Sky is Back: What Drivers Must Know Before October 5 ​Starting October 5, automated enforcement makes its full return across multiple cities in Metro Manila, including Manila, Quezon City, Valenzuela, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, and San Juan.

Someone hit your car and drove off? Do these 5 things instead of chasing

Picture this: You're sitting at a stoplight when BANG - a sudden impact jolts your seat. Before you can even process the shock, the car that rear-ended you speeds past on the shoulder, melting into traffic. Your pulse spikes, your hands grip the wheel, and every instinct screams at you to step on the gas and go after them. Don't. Hit that brake pedal, take a deep breath, and stay put—because stomping on the accelerator right now is the worst decision you could make. 1. The Pursuit Trap ​When a fleeing vehicle damages your car, survival instincts trigger a hot-headed reaction: catch the perpetrator. But turning a city road into an action movie set turns a property damage issue into an extreme safety risk. High-speed chases often lead to secondary collisions, escalation with an unpredictable driver, or losing control of your vehicle. Worse yet, if you abandon the scene, authorities might struggle to establish who was actually ...

What the LTO says about changing mag wheels, rims and tires of your car, motorcycle

The new LTO PMVIC, or the Land Transportation Office - Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers, has started operations in some parts of the country for inspections of cars and motorcycles due for registration renewal. Dubbed as MVIS (Motor Vehicle Inspection System), it aims to test the roadworthiness of private and commercial vehicles prior to their registration. This also includes the checking of modifications, upgrades and accessories that have been installed on your vehicles - whether factory or aftermarket. If they don't meet LTO standards, you fail the test. Failing the MVIS test means you have to retake the inspection and worse, you can't register your vehicle any more. For purposes of discussion, I chose to talk about wheels and tires because they are the most frequently modified parts of our cars and motorcycles. Now comes the question: Is it considered illegal to replace your wheels with aftermarket mag wheels? Can those u...
