Traffic violators to sit in half-day seminar


PAGADIAN CITY: Traffic violators may soon learn a lot about wasting time after being required to attend a half day lecture on proper rules and regulation in road interchange.

This is because this city’s PNP Traffic Section made it mandatory to all arrested violators of any traffic infraction to attend a road ethics seminar.

This includes the motorized tricycle drivers and their operators applying or renewing their franchises.

PNP Chief Supt. Glenn Dulawan said traffic violators need to be educated on the city traffic ordinances being implemented.

Police Inspector Harry Ratunil Velez of the Traffic Office will do the instruction every Friday after lunch, Dulawan added.

It was learned that most of those arrested violated the ordinance requiring muffler installation and silencers on vehicle exhaust system.

Since August, a total of 258 mufflers not permitted to be installed were confiscated by the PNP Traffic Division.

Twenty participants per session attended the half day seminar after they were caught committing violation of traffic rules and regulations along the city streets of this city, City Police Official said.
