I have bought a new car recently and am still waiting for my LTO plates. This morning I was stopped by a MMDA in Makati that we had violated the color coding. We were surprised as the car had no LTO plates. He pointed to the conduction sticker on the wind screen. Our driver explained we were not aware of this provision. The MMDA officer said that if a senior citizen was in the vehicle the vehicle was exempt from the color coding rule. Since both my wife and I are already retired we sad we were and did not get a ticket. Is it correct that vehicles where senior citizens are riding are exempted from color coding in manila? Please advise. Thanks.
