00:00The question of the day is, who is the driver of this viral SUV with the plate number 7 that was last seen on the EDSA busway this Sunday?
00:18The MMDA officer almost got hit by it.
00:21And because the plate number is 7, only one senator is allowed to own the vehicle.
00:27But according to the Land Transportation Office or LTO, the license plate of the SUV might have been stolen in the video.
00:35What does the law say about this?
00:38Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:43Atty. the MMDA officer almost got hit by it and the plate number was stolen.
00:50What will the driver face?
00:53It's clear that the driver has a violation.
00:56First of all, crossing the bus carousel lane is a violation of traffic laws.
01:01According to the MMDA, the bus carousel lane is exclusive for public buses, ambulances, and government vehicles responding to emergencies.
01:12Even for high-ranking officials such as the President, Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the House, and Supreme Court Chief Justice,
01:25they are the only passengers.
01:27Other cabinet officials, senators, and congressmen with plates 6, 7, 8, and onward are not included.
01:36Unauthorized crossing of the bus carousel lane is a heavy penalty.
01:41In the first offense, the fine is Php 5,000.
01:44In the second offense, the fine is Php 10,000.
01:47There is a one-month suspension of the license and there is also a road safety seminar.
01:52In the third offense, the fine is Php 20,000 and the license has been suspended for one year.
01:58In the fourth offense, the fine is Php 30,000 and LTO recommends that the license be returned.
02:06If you use a peck and placa because the car is not registered, the penalty is Php 10,000.
02:13If you have not registered for more than a month, you have the right to confiscate the vehicle until it is registered.
02:21If you use a fake or unauthorized license plate, the fine is Php 5,000 and the vehicle can be impounded.
02:29If you ask me, the penalty should be heavier because there is no good plan.
02:35People who use a peck and placa.
02:39And of course, it can be a disobedience to a person in authority or agent of a person in authority.
02:46This violation should be punished according to the instructions of the enforcer.
02:51This is contrary to Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code, the crime of resistance and disobedience to persons in authority and their agents.
03:00There is a prison of arrest of a minor for up to one month and there can be a fine included here.
03:07The question is, if the owner of the SUV is a senator, what can be his responsibility in the law?
03:15Of course, the LTO can issue a show-cause order against the owner of the SUV.
03:20If they still cannot determine who is the driver and the owner of the vehicle,
03:24the first person who should answer is the registered owner of the SUV and he should be the one to explain.
03:29It is clear that the driver of the SUV has a violation and the enforcers even put it in danger.
03:35If the owner is a member of the Senate, it seems that the license plate is fake and fake,
03:41he needs to face the driver to answer this in the law.
03:45If he is a senator and not a Senate President, he does not have a special privilege to cross the carousel lane.
03:51Hopefully, the owner of the SUV can be found.
03:54Actually, it has been a few days already.
03:56This is also an implication on the capability of our law enforcement agencies and government agencies.
04:02There is a color, make, model, and conduction sticker but it is still not found.
04:07The car is not ordinary or the SUV is involved in the incident.
04:11According to the internet, the value of this car is 8.9 million pesos
04:17and only 24 have this make, model, and color in the Philippines.
04:23Isn't it amazing?
04:25In any case, mga Usaping Batas,
04:27we will clarify for the peace of mind,
04:31don't think twice,
04:33ask me, ask Atty. Gaby.
