31. What is the Emission Test?
It is a mandatory test in the Philippines as part of the car’s registration. It
is also done during the renewal of the car’s registration. This test
measures the level of fumes or pollutant released from the exhaust
manifold of a vehicle
What is the purpose of the Emission test Philippines?
The main goal of the emission test is to lessen the air
pollutants that are harmful to the environment. It detects the
level of hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon
monoxide, and other air pollutants.
TRAFFIC

32. In general, the emission test aims to ensure that a vehicle is
in compliance with the set of emission standards. It is also
the requirement of a car to have a CEC or Certificate of

Smoke Belching Meaning
If you have seen a jeepney on the road, chances are you have seen black
smoke coming out of its exhaust pipe. The black smoke you see coming
from a vehicle is called smoke belching. It is a forceful expulsion of thick
smoke from an exhaust system. Smoke belching is quite common to see
in Metro Manila especially from public utility vehicles that are used as
public transport.

41. TRAFFIC DEFINED
- it refers to the movement of pedestrian, motor vehicle
and goods from point of origin to point of destination.
The word traffic originates from Greco-Roman word
“TRAFICO” with reference to the movement of people
that dates back from the dawns of history. The Greek
originally called the system “TRAFRIGA” after the
early horse drawn chariots with spoke wheels.
TRAFFIC

42. The word TRAFFIC was derived from the
word ‘’TRAFFICARE’’ which means :
A. To Travel
B. To Traverse
C. To carry on Trade
D. To Transport
TRAFFIC

43. Traffic congestion - is a condition on transport that
is characterised by slower speeds, longer trip times,
and increased vehicular queueing
Traffic Jam - When vehicles are fully stopped for

44. Road rage - is aggressive or angry behavior exhibited by a
driver of a road vehicle. These behaviors include rude and
offensive gestures, verbal insults, physical threats or
dangerous driving methods targeted toward another driver or
non-drivers such as pedestrians or cyclists in an effort to
intimidate or release frustration. Road rage can lead to
altercations, assaults and collisions that result in serious
physical injuries or even death. Strategies include long horn
honks, swerving, tailgating, brake checking and attempting to
fight
TRAFFIC

45. DEFINITION OF TERMS

public boulevard, driveway, avenue, park, alley and
callejon, but shall not include roadway upon
grounds owned by private persons, colleges,
universities, or other similar institutions.

TRAFFIC

48. MUST- KNOW: ALL THE BASIC ROAD MARKINGS IN PH
AND WHAT EACH ONE MEANS
1. SOLID WHITE SHOULDER LINE
This denotes the edge of the roadway. Any asphalt or concrete surface beyond this line
should not be used during the normal operation of your vehicle.
TRAFFIC

49. 2. DIAGONAL WHITE LINES
An area filled with diagonal white lines and bordered by solid white lines is not
considered part of the roadway, and vehicles are expected to stay off unless
there is an emergency. These areas are often used to ease the flow of traffic
where roads diverge or intersect.
TRAFFIC

50. 3. BROKEN WHITE CENTER LINE OR LANE DIVIDER
This denotes the center of a two-lane road, or marks the division between lanes
on multi-lane roads. It is a reminder to stay in your lane. Straddling the line is
illegal and punishable under the law. As the line is “broken,” however, this means
it is legal to cross it when overtaking or changing lanes. Bear in mind that vehicles
continuing in a straight line within their lane automatically have right of way, so
wait your turn.
TRAFFIC

51. 4. SOLID WHITE CENTER LINE
This is often used to divide traffic on a two-way multi-lane road. As this is a solid
line, you are discouraged from overtaking over it unless the way is absolutely
clear.
TRAFFIC

52. 5. SOLID WHITE DOUBLE CENTER LINE
You are forbidden from overtaking over this line, but you may make left turns over
it, provided the way is clear. Remember, however, that oncoming traffic still
automatically has right of way.
TRAFFIC

53. 6. SOLID YELLOW DOUBLE CENTER LINE
As we noted a while back, this line indicates that it is unsafe to overtake at any
time. It is often found around blind curves or in areas where fast-moving two-way
traffic meets on an undivided road.
TRAFFIC

54. 7. MIXED CENTER LINE/SOLID YELLOW WITH BROKEN
YELLOW OR WHITE LINE
This indicates that only one side can overtake--the side with the broken line. This is
often found entering curves where the view is obstructed coming from one
direction, but is clear from the opposite side.
TRAFFIC

55. 8. SOLID WHITE LANE DIVIDER
These are often found near intersections, and are reminders to stay in lane. As a
practice, if you’re turning at an intersection, it’s best to get into the turning lane
50m before the intersection, while the lane divider is still broken.
TRAFFIC

56. 9. DIRECTIONAL ARROWS
When combined with solid white lane dividers, they indicate which directions you
are allowed to go within a lane. If the arrow points forward only, you cannot make a
turn from that lane. If it points forward and to the side, you can either go straight or
turn. If it points only to the side, you must turn within that lane. Ignoring these
arrows might just get you a ticket, or worse, get you into an accident.
TRAFFIC

57. 10. BROKEN BLUE LANE DIVIDER
This indicates the motorbike lane along major thoroughfares. The broken line
indicates that you can move into and out of it, but the lane is preferentially for
motorbikes.
TRAFFIC

58. 11) SOLID YELLOW LANE DIVIDER
This indicates the bus lane on EDSA, but can also be used to indicate bicycle
lanes in some areas. Bicycle lanes may also be indicated by solid white lines on
the side of the road
TRAFFIC

59. 12) BROKEN YELLOW LANE DIVIDER
This indicates areas where you can merge into the bus lane in preparation for
turning off EDSA
TRAFFIC

60. 13) MIXED DOUBLE LANE DIVIDER/SOLID
YELLOW WITH BROKEN YELLOW OR WHITE LINE
This indicates that traffic on the solid yellow side cannot cross lanes, while traffic
on the other side may do so if the way is clear. This is often used where smaller
arteries merge into main roads or where feeder roads merge onto the highway.
TRAFFIC

61. 14) RUMBLE STRIPS
These tightly spaced horizontal white lines not only give your car’s suspension a
bit of a workout, they also indicate hazards ahead, such as dangerous curves or
merging traffic.
TRAFFIC

62. 15) SOLID WHITE HORIZONTAL LINE
This indicates where you must stop at a stoplight or stop sign.
TRAFFIC

63. 16) ZEBRA CROSSING
This indicates a pedestrian crossing zone. Stopping over this at a red light is a
traffic violation, so make sure to pay attention to those light timers!
TRAFFIC

64. 17) YELLOW BOX
This box indicates the part of the intersection that must--by law--be kept open at
all times. Even if you have a green light, if the traffic is stopped on the other side
ahead, it’s best to wait until there’s enough space for you to clear the yellow box.
Even in the absence of a light, the yellow box must be kept clear.
.
Memorize these road markings and you will be more law-abiding than 90% of
drivers on Philippine roads, guaranteed. And hopefully safer as well

82. Importance of Traffic Management Signals
– It ensures the safety of passengers, drivers, and pedestrian
– It ensures the order of the traffic movement at an intersection
– It helps in the reduction of the frequency and severity of some types of
accidents
– It tells people when to go or when to stop, thus making it beneficial in
maintaining the order on the road
– It prevents total gridlock on a day-to-day basis
– Reduces the number of accidents as well as fatalities.

83. TRAFFIC LIGHT
RED-Stop
YELLOW-Prepare to Stop
GREEN-Go
TRAFFIC

84. What Does Each Color in a Traffic Signal Mean?
Red Traffic Signal:
- A red traffic light means stop. When approaching a red light at an
intersection, the driver should come to a complete stop at the marked stop
line. If there is not a marked stop line, the driver should stop before entering
the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, the driver should stop before entering
the intersection.
Flashing Red Traffic Signal:
- Stop, yield the right-of-way to traffic within the intersection or crosswalk
and proceed when safe. This sign is used at intersections when a stop
sign alone is hard to see or where additional emphasis on the stop sign is
needed. Flashing red traffic signals are also used at railroad crossings to
warn of approaching trains.
TRAFFIC

85. Note: Turning Right or Left on Red
If there no sign posted designating otherwise, you may make a
right turn at a red light. You also may make a left turn at a red
light when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way
street that has traffic moving to the left. In both instances,
drivers must come to a complete stop behind the stop line and
yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and cross-traffic before
turning.
Yellow Traffic Signal:
-The yellow light warns that the signal is changing from
green to red. When the red light appears, you may not enter
the intersection.
TRAFFIC

86. TRAFFIC
Green Traffic Signal:
- Yes, green means go, but go after yielding the right-
of-way to any pedestrians and vehicles in the intersection
or crosswalk.
Flashing Yellow Traffic Signal:
- A flashing yellow traffic signal at an intersection means
to proceed with caution.

100. TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
TRAFFIC

101. TRAFFIC ACCIDENT
A traffic accident is an occurrence on a road, street or highway
involving one or more motor vehicles that usually result in
death, physical injury or damage to property.
TRAFFIC

102. SKETCH – is a drawing that is done quickly without a lot of
details.
TRAFFIC

103. TRAFFIC

104. MEASUREMENT – to establish the distance between two or more
things.
TRAFFIC

105. PHOTOGRAPH – a picture or image that is a result of using a
camera.
TRAFFIC

106. TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
3 I’s OF INVESTIGATION
 INFORMATION/INTERVIEW
 INTERROGATION
 INSTRUMENTATION
TRAFFIC

107.  INFORMATION – data gathered from other persons, the victim and from other records such
as public records, private records, Modus operandi which are pertinent concerning the
commission of crime or criminal activities.
 INTERROGATION – is a skillful questioning of witnesses and suspects. It is a process
of obtaining admission or confession from those suspects who have committed a crime.
It is confrontational in nature which means that the suspect is confronted about his
participation in the commission of the offense.
TRAFFIC
 Instrumentation – Also called as Criminalistics or Forensic Science. - It is a scientific
examination of real evidence, application of instrument and methods of the physical
sciences in detecting crime.

108. GENERAL RULE – NEVER ALTER ANYTHING UNLESS SKETCHED,
PHOTOGRAPHED AND MEASURED.
TRAFFIC

109. TRAFFIC
Observe the first responder’s rule – for first
responder.
First Responder is different from IOC.
INJURED PERSONS– there is PNP SOP in proper
dealing

110. TYPES OF COLLITION
TRAFFIC
 Head on collisions - often have poor outcomes because of the
speed involved when the collision takes place. The typical cause of head-on
collisions is when one vehicle inadvertently strays into the path of an
oncoming vehicle. However, the root cause sometimes lies in a steering
overcorrection after veering to the side of the road as opposed to the centre

111.  REAR END
- occurs when a vehicle crashes into the one in front of it. Common
factors contributing to rear-end collisions include driver inattention
or distraction, tailgating, panic stops, and reduced traction due to
wet weather or worn pavement. Rear-end
TRAFFIC

112. SIDE SWIPE
TRAFFIC

113. VEHICULAR ACCIDENT - It is an accident involving motor
vehicle that resulted to the lost of life, injuries and
damaged to property.
TRAFFIC

114. Traffic accidents are extremely confusing events.
How they occur, who or what caused them, and
why they occurred are facts that police must
determine. Every peace officer must know the
fundamentals of traffic accident investigation
and know how to prepare traffic accident
reports.
TRAFFIC

115. TWO EXISTING METHODS OF MEASUREMENT
COORDINATES – which consist in measuring the
shortest distance from each of two reference lines
to the spot to be located.
TRIANGULATION – which is done by measuring the
distance from each of two reference point.
TRAFFIC

116. DOCTRINE OF LAST CLEAR CHANCE
A driver who is in better position to
prevent the accident has the
responsibility of preventing it.
Prevention of accident is the first
responsibility of all drivers.
TRAFFIC

117. Initial Steps. Prompt arrival at the
scene of an accident is essential.
Safety, however, should be
emphasized at all times.
TRAFFIC

118. STEPS TO BE UNDERTAKEN AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE
-Cordon the area
-Evacuate injured person to the nearest hospital
-Locate for witness/es – isolate if possible
-Obtain the drivers license of both drivers
-Obtain the MV’s documents
-Sketched the accident scene – conform the drivers
TRAFFIC

119. Location of the Patrol Vehicle. The police vehicle should be
positioned so as not to cause further traffic congestion or
accidents. If necessary, it may, however, be used as a
roadblock. At night it should be parked so the headlights
illuminate the entire scene. At all times the emergency lights
should be on to warn approaching motorists of the hazard.
TRAFFIC
Establish Traffic Control. Traffic control is essential at the
accident scene to prevent further accidents or injury. Rerouting
vehicles around the accident scene is the most common
procedure used. Spectators or unnecessary personnel should be
cleared from the accident area.

120. TRAFFIC
Moving Vehicle And Marking Wheels The decision
to move a vehicle from its final position must often be
made by the police patrol arriving at the scene.
When this is done, the positions of the wheels should
be marked on the ground so they can be relocated
for investigative purposes.

121. Under the following conditions, a vehicle must be moved
immediately:
When an injured person is trapped in the wreckage and cannot be
treated there.
When a person is trapped in wreckage near burning material, or
an area of potential fire hazard.
When a vehicle position is an immediate hazard to oncoming
traffic and adequate traffic control cannot be established.
AFTER INVESTIGATION, THE INVESTIGATOR SHOULD
DETERMINE IF HE WILL FILE A CASE OR THE PARTIES WILL
SETTLE AMMICABLY.
