Pico y placa for motos don't take up as much space as cars especially 4x4's usually driven by fat arrogant pigs.
Pico y placa is ok if you live in the city it's a twat for me as I live 8 kms from Pereira so I usually have to get out of the city limits fast to avoid the Gajinasos (Transito) or I'm stuck for hours in the city.
