Despite the fact that the MMDA included the conduction sticker number as part of the Number Coding Scheme, this has only been implemented more strictly in less than 2 years. Along with this stricter implementation is the requirement to put the conduction sticker number as plate numbers for registered cars that are yet to receive the official vehicle plates.
The problem is there is no standard for this, so motorist go about their own style to abide by the rule. Some car dealers print out the conduction number on a paper and laminate the paper to "protect" it from disintegrating when exposed to weather conditions. However, this "protection" is not enough, as I have seen blurred out numbers from even slight drizzle. There are also some methods such as penning the number with a marker on the default, temporary plates of newly purchased vehicles. The problem with this is it is too small to be read.
The solution: All Land Transportation Offices should provide a standard temporary plate with the conduction sticker number of the vehicle upon its release to the respective dealers. Alternatively, LTO and MMDA can mandate car dealers to develop its own temporary plates following a standard format and material.
This will help law enforcers in enforcing the law. More importantly, this will also likely to tap businesses that can service this. Suppliers would be more than happy to bid to LTO or to car dealers--bolstering local micro-enterprises. 3.5 (raket ni VT, shooting mate ni Prez)
