The violation of driving without a license is an “impoundable offense”. So the apprehending officer took your plate number instead of impounding your vehicle. Pwede yan because the taking the plate number is called “technical impounding”. You can get your plate number at the LTO office after paying the necessary fines.

you cant be charge driving without license since you really have license. its just that you are lacking a restriction for driving a motorcycle. that will put you under

Violation 2.
which states….

Driving with a delinquent, invalid, suspended ineffectual of revoked license.

the officer should underline or take note of INVALID or INEFFECTUAL.

the sad parts is that not all of the deputized MMDA enforcer is that they dont really have an idea what to impose with all these fines and penalties when you have a violations.

Why would they take your license plate anyways? Unless your vehicle has some sort of deliquencies. But if your MC has complete and clean documents, its you who have a violation not your motor vehicle. I dont see any reason why would they confiscate your license plate

ang hirap kasi dito sa bansa natin, iba-iba ang penalty bawat municipalities. tpos iba rin sa LTO, MMDA. kaya nakakalito. dapat isa lang talaga ang may hawak ng traffic satin. kung LTO, LTO lang. kung MMDA e MMDA lang. kasi my bro once was apprehended. Beating the red light sa alabang. Sa LTO, walang definite violation anf beating the red light. sa municipality level pinagbayad sya ng P500 ng kinuha nya yung license nya.

bro. ang pagkakaalam ko dyan ay hindi na puedeng kunin ang plaka, titikitan ka na lang at tutubusin mo doon sa malapit na munisipyo sa pinaghulihan mo. Regarding sa code ay kailangan mo talaga ng RC#1 puede mong papalitan ang license mo kahit hindi pa expire. Kasi ang code dati ay RC#2 lang, pinadagdagan ko ito ng RC#2,3 para wala na silang masabi. Sa mga pixer ka na lang magpalakad para wala ng seminar, hindi ka aabot ng worth 1,500

god bless and safe drive…

hi guys. nobody, not the LTO nor the MMDA has the authority to confiscate license plates for traffic violations. in fact, the court of appeals sometime last year has ruled that even for parking violations, they cannot confiscate license plates.

“Court records showed that Garcia, driving his vehicle, accompanied his friends to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

Upon reaching the NAIA, Garcia stopped his car in one of the vacant slots for unloading passengers and luggage and helped his friends carry their luggage to the Canadian Airlines counter.

When he returned to his car, he found out that Poblete had already detached its front license plate and a TOP was clipped to the windshield wiper.

Garcia then introduced himself as the owner and inquired why Poblete detached his license plate.

Poblete told Garcia that somebody had complained that Garciaâ€™s vehicle caused traffic obstruction, but Garcia told him that it couldnâ€™t be possible since the car was parked in a vacant space intended for unloading passengers and their luggage and neither could it be said that the car was left unattended because he had only been away for a few minutes.

Garcia filed a complaint for injunctive relief and damages against Calima and Poblete, saying the confiscation of his license plate was illegal since he did not violate any NAIA traffic regulation and that R.A. 4136 or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code does not empower the LTO to confiscate license plates.

The Quezon City RTC ordered the LTO or any of its authorized representatives or deputies to release the license plate of Garciaâ€™s vehicle, and reinstall it.

The Court of Appeals upheld the Decision of the RTC.”

there you have it. that should apply with equal force to motorcycles

Sorry misunderstood kala ko kasi LTO nakahuli sayo. yung nasabi ko batas ng LTO hindi ko lang alam kung ganyan din sa MMDA. pero malamang may semilarity sila kaya next time bro magpalagay ka ng Restriction 1 sa license mo at always wearing helmet para makaiwas sa mga buwaya.
Safe ride…..

Bro ganyan na talaga ngayon sa LTO ultimo driver without wearing a helmet plaka na ang kinukumpiska para yung motor mismo ang maparalize. and also LTO doesn’t have time to explain it kasi ituturo sayo lahat yan pagtubos mo ng PLAKA mo kasi mag se-seminar kapa bago mo makuha yang PLAKA mo. SEMINAR para matuto lahat na gaya nating mga driver na malaman lahat ng dapat malaman bago sumakay at magpatakabo ng sasakayan.Pero payo lang next time abatan nyo na sa loob bago pa ipasok sa taas para maka iwas kayo sa seminar, hehehehehe.
