MANILA, Philippines — A woman motorist who cut the line, argued with a traffic enforcer, and name-dropped an officer outside La Salle Green Hills, is now facing sanction after the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) filed a complaint with the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
MMDA Chairman Romando Artes, in a letter sent on Friday, to LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza, recounted that the driver attempted to cut into the traffic queue on Ortigas Avenue near the school on Aug. 8, prompting an MMDA enforcer to stop her.
“In the audio of the video taken of the incident, a woman’s voice could be heard arguing and berating the MMDA traffic enforcer who prevented her attempt of queue-jumping,” Artes wrote.
He added, “Despite her name-dropping, the traffic personnel stood their ground and were not intimidated.”
The driver, who was behind the wheel of a white Toyota Hi Ace van, has been tagged under the No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) for obstruction.
