Motorists covering plates to be fined
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is warning motorists that covering their license plates to avoid No Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) violations will result in a P5,000 fine.
MMDA Traffic Enforcement Group director Vic Nuñez stated that this act is a violation of the Traffic Code, noting many vehicles have been observed using tape to obscure their plate numbers.
He also mentioned that a memo has been issued to field personnel to be aware of and apprehend motorists committing this offense.
The NCAP, which uses AI-powered CCTV cameras across Metro Manila to detect traffic violators, was reinstated on Monday, May 26, after the Supreme Court lifted the temporary restraining order on the measure.
Each violation detected by the cameras is manually verified by MMDA personnel.
