MMDA to suspend license of driver who evaded traffic ticket

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) may cancel or suspend the license of the driver who evaded a traffic ticket in Greenhills, San Juan City on Wednesday.

MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago said the MMDA would endorse the case to the Land Transportation Office (LTO), following a number of violations made by the driver.

“We will immediately endorse this driver to the Land Transportation Office for possible cancelation or suspension of her drivers’ license,” Pialago said.

Pialago noted that the driver, who remains unidentified, has committed the following violations: illegal parking, obstruction, wreckless driving, arrogant driving, and disobedience to a person in authority.

The driver also has a criminal offense for direct assault on a person in authority.

The MMDA official said the driver refused to show her license to attending officer Sandy Bilan.

Based on the information provided by Pialago, Bilan reportedly approached the lady driver last October 19 for illegal parking and obstruction, but she refused to show her license. Bilan then asked her fellow traffic enforcer for help. However, the driver fled the scene after 10 minutes of discussion.

The two traffic enforcers of the MMDA immediately followed the car but failed to catch her after she turned right and headed towards North East Greenhills.

The agency noted that the car was registered under the Garment District Inc. with the listed address at Building 2, Sunny Realty, Sandoval, Pasig City. /ee
