HPG cop abandons motorcycle after EDSA busway violation

MANILA, Philippines — A member of the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group (HPG) escaped and left his unregistered motorcycle after passing through the exclusive EDSA bus lane.

Enforcers of the Department of Transportation (DOTr)’s Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation flagged the unnamed police officer along the busway on July 8.

He was recorded on video while being apprehended by a traffic enforcer.

The DOTr said the HPG officer fled on foot and abandoned his motorcycle, which reportedly had an expired registration.

The DOTr impounded the motorcycle at the Land Transportation Office, which would send a show-cause order against the policeman.
