Do you remember when the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) pointed out how motorists caught for illegal parking just keep returning as soon as road-clearing operations are over? Well, here’s some proof.
In a recent Facebook video by Gadget Addict, the MMDA was shown towing a maroon Toyota Revo that was caught illegally parked on the sidewalk somewhere in Caloocan City. While there was no official count available, this was estimated to be the fifth time that this same vehicle was towed.

The video caption reads: “This car has been ticketed and towed more times than I can remember—highlighting the obvious need for increased penalties for repeat violators.”
Gadget Addict also jokingly quipped in the video: “They might even be on a first-name basis by now, who knows?” It’s funny, but at the same time, it doesn’t seem that farfetched, either.
Kidding aside, it’s really alarming how car owners in Metro Manila can keep getting away with this. This isn’t the first time something like this was caught on camera, and it just goes to show that erring motorists just never learn their lesson. Anyway, you can check out the full video below.
