“Once na meron kayong physical apprehension sa iisang violation, let’s say sa isang lugar o stretch of road, at the end of the day, 'yung ticket sinasubmit 'yan sa ating opisina. Once pumasok sa system, magkakaroon ng validating to ensure na walang overlapping. So once, let’s say, mayroon kayong violation sa NCAP, meron din kayong physical apprehension, isa lang po ang papasok,” Go said.

“Pero lilinawin lang natin na although meron kayong physical violation, ay all throughout the day, isa lang ang violation ninyo, there is still a possibility na mag-iba-iba ang inyong violation, lalo na po kung iba’t-ibang lugar, at iba’t-ibang violation po yan.”

“Ang pinakapurpose ng NCAP hindi lang ito apprehension, isa rin ito sa ating pamamaraan na kung saan ibalik ang disiplina sa lansangan based on our records, mga naitalang apprehension simula nang ibalik ang NCAP, unti-unti, nakikita natin na yung numbers of violators, bumababa day by day,” he said.
