Losing your temper is no way to get rid of it.

Describing himself as a law-abiding public servant, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian broke his silence yesterday about the involvement of his family in the Cadillac vehicle with a Senate protocol plate that illegally entered the EDSA busway.

The driver of a luxury sports utility vehicle (SUV) with a protocol plate for senators, who illegally used the EDSA busway on Sunday, November 3, has surrendered to the Land Transportation Office (LTO).

Two days after a Cadillac Escalade entered the EDSA busway and nearly hit a traffic enforcer, with the passenger giving the enforcers the dirty finger as the sport utility vehicle sped away, the Land Transportation Office has yet to trace the owner of the SUV.

A sport utility vehicle bearing a “7” protocol plate assigned to senators illegally entered the EDSA bus lane on Sunday and nearly hit a traffic enforcer, but the Land Transportation Office said the plate is fake.
