00:00Traffic is everywhere this Christmas season.

00:04No matter where you are, you can feel the Christmas rush.

00:07Roads are full of cars, malls are full, and most of all,

00:12it's hard to commute.

00:14Because of that, some commuters get stuck in the traffic jams.

00:19That's what we're going to talk about in Ask Me, Ask Attorney Gav.

00:24Ask Me, Ask Attorney Gav

00:29Attorney, for everyone's information,

00:31what does the law say about color rooms in cars,

00:35mopeds, cars, jeeps, and others?

00:38When can a car be considered a color room?

00:42Well, as a general rule, vehicles that will serve the general public

00:46must have a permit or a franchise or authority from the LTFRB.

00:52So if you don't have a permit, this is what we call a color room.

00:56It can be a private car that is being moped,

01:00a PUV that is being moped outside of its approved route,

01:05those that violate its designations.

01:08It can be a school service that operates as a UV Express

01:13or a tourist bus that is being moped as a city or provincial bus.

01:18It can also be that the CPC or permit has expired but is still valid.

01:24Usually, there are what we call tell-tale signs that we can say is a color room.

01:30There is no LTFRB case number,

01:33its authorized route,

01:35the operator's name and number,

01:37and the number of the LTFRB.

01:39If this is, for example, a UV Express,

01:42its tint is dark so that it is not obvious that it is being driven by passengers.

01:48Besides, the UV Express is not allowed to have tinted windows.

01:53The driver is not properly dressed

01:55and if there is a designated route on the car,

01:58it is on a different route.

02:00So this is what we can see if a car is a color room or not.

02:05Are these blinkers also facing something?

02:09Well, as far as I know, there is none and there should be none.

02:13The situation of our riding public is really pitiful.

02:16For the regular employees who usually live in a faraway place,

02:21riding in our poor public vehicles is a big pain for them.

02:27They lose so much time waiting for the vehicle,

02:31staying in the traffic after a long day at work.

02:36So they should not be punished and made to suffer

02:40if they ride in a wrong color room vehicle.

02:44Atty., what about those who are taking advantage

02:50and raising the price of massages this Christmas rush?

02:54Drivers guilty of overcharging should pay a fine of P5,000 for the first offense,

03:02P10,000 for the second offense

03:05and P15,000 for the third offense.

03:08That is difficult because it takes a long time to save P5,000, P10,000, or P15,000.

03:15And because it is Christmas now,

03:17I know that overtargeting of public utility vehicles is becoming more frequent.

03:25But remember, you should file a complaint if you are alone

03:29with other drivers who will find a way to overcharge you.

03:35Of course, if you will give a tip

03:38because you understand the drivers who lose their income

03:42if there is too much traffic, well, that's different.

03:45But the situation is different if you are forced to overcharge.

03:50So that is prohibited.

03:51Let's complain.

03:53We will clarify the laws for the peace of mind.

03:58Wag magdalawang isip.

04:00Ask me, ask Katerina Gabby.

04:04Wait! Wait, wait, wait!

04:07Wait! Don't close yet.
