“On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, at approximately 9:55am, a Volkswagen T4 commercial driver known for frequently driving against traffic was apprehended by a LASTMA Patrol Team.
“The driver was stopped after being observed picking up and dropping off passengers at an unauthorized spot along the expressway near Ilasa, heading towards Mile2.
