The Supreme Court’s decision on the matter is “not final and executory”
Just the other day, the Supreme Court published its decision to prohibit local government units from issuing their own traffic violation tickets and confiscating the driver’s licenses of violators. Instead, it mandated the use of the single ticketing system, with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority having “exclusive authority to enforce traffic laws, rules, and regulations.”
“Sa ating mga kababayang motorista, kung kayo ay huhulihin ng mga local traffic enforcers, huwag kayong makipagtalo at i-argue na bawal na silang manghuli at mag-issue ng ticket dahil hindi pa ito final and executory,” said MMDA acting chairman Atty. Romando Artes.Artes cited the number coding scheme as an example of how the Court’s decision may have an implication on both the enforcement of traffic rules and the traffic situation in Metro Manila.
