In Your Face Driver's License Redemption

Last Sat, coming from D-Mac Avenue - MOA, I used Gil Puyat instead rather than EDSA. And just a slight swerve to the left, a Pasay Traffic Aide (NOT Pulis!) flagged me. Reason: I used half of the left-turning-lane to veer away from the pedestrians, and here we go again...

This time, I was carrying a PNP Police Director calling card signed by the nameholder. ‘Twas given to me by my Pulis Patola Uncle. First time I am to put this card to the test. I thought I'll get a bye using this. The Aide, or lets call him, Pasay Ultra Traffic Aide, in short, P.U.T.A., told me to contact the Police Director. Though I don't know the police director personally, I tried ringing, to no avail. Saturday perhaps, no office, I don't know.

So to Plan B I went...

The Driver-License-Philippine-Hi-Way in your face redemption. When a cop or traffic marshall says, "ikaw na ang bahala, " it's time to pay tax to the crocs. For just P200, you'll be let go like nothing happened.

Ok, Ok, Ok, I am partly to blame but hey, who wants another disruptive day going at Pasay City hall just to get my license. When for all I know, another set of crocs are out there.

Exact location: Intersection of Buendia - Taft Ave. Smell 'em. Be careful when traversing the area during lunchtime and merienda, they are out get you (and your bread, maybe literally).

Justice is swift in the Philippines.
