    • Joseph says:

      At the LTO satellite office, in SM Clark Mall, Pampanga, it only took me 45 minutes, start to finish. No more long lines for a silly urine test (Who takes illegal drugs prior to a Urine test?) or paying to see a Medical doctor, who retired in the 1980′s. There is an efficient nurse who took BP and a visual test. It was around 800 pesos total. You can see the fees on the LTO website.

  • roland says:

    Majority of traffic violations are clear, unfortunately it is too high.I feel safer, driving in other country than in my own country. Harasment by MMDA traffic personnel is common.The usual offense you will hear from the enforcer is RECKLESS DRIVING .this offense is not being detailed . This is an act of not following driving rules on what? changing lane ? where you don’t see the road markings since it has faded.NO LEFT TURN OR RIGHT TURN -SIGNS are posted immediately when you turn left or right , hence the mistake is already committed.Should be posted BEFORE you EXECUTE THE TURN

  • Expired License says:

    pwede po bang makuha ang updated list nitong violation fees for 2014?

    nahulihan po kasi ako ng expired na lisensya di ko lang napansin na expired na pala. ang violation ko lang naman ay not wearing seatbelt.
    ginawa na lang nilang “expired driver’s license”. wala po akong problema dun kasi mas mabigat naman talaga ang driving with expired license.

    this probably falls under category number 2, dated october 2013.

    * 2. driving with suspended or revoked or improper license – Php 1,000.00

    ang problema ko lang po ay gusto kong ma-confirm kung tama ba yung fee na sinisingil nila saken na Php 3010.00.

    nagtataka lang naman po ako bakit ang laki ng itinaas isang taon pa lang naman ang nakakalipas. mas lalo na po kaming hindi makakapagparenew ng lisensya nyan kung ang pagtubos pa lang nakakapamulubi na.

    • peter says:

  • James says:

    Sir,

    I was caught during a PNP checkpoint for driving a recently expired motorcycle registration (incident happened last May 23, 2014; motorcycle registration expired april 2014). Unfortunately, until now i was not able to retrieve yet my license. I just want to know how much is the penalty fee for that specific violation and what docs should i present?

    BTW, yung motorcycle ko is wala na since i already surrendered it sa casa… di kasi nila agad na process yung renewal ko. wala na po akong motor ngayon.

    Thanks.

  • Carmecille M. Tamayo says:

    I rode a Vhire from Cebu City to Daanbantayan late evening. Thus, we arrived in my destination somewhere arounf 11.30 pm. I am never comfortable riding habal2 since I do not know most of those drivers. Thus, I asked this Vhire to drop me off on my doorstep which is what’s really done within Daanbantayan. He refused saying that he won’t because there are habal-habals blocking the big part of the road and then he further added that he is afraid the van will fall of the drainage. I noticed that he is in a hurry that this alibi is commonly used by drivers who rush to go back. However, even big Grandias could pass through our street without a problem. My question is, given the time of my arriveal wherein I would have felt safer to have deeb dropped off at my house that was why I chose a vhire in the first place, has the driver committed anything reckless against his passenger’s safety?

  • Mike says:

    I recently bought a motorcycle. I was advice by one of the staff a motortrade that i should apply my professional drivers licence for a resteicition 1 since i only have restricition 2. I really donr get why the fuck do i have to apply for a restriction 1 when its clearly stated in our drivers licence that drivers with restriction 2 That DRIVERS WITH RESTRICTION 2 CAN DRIVE UP TO 4500 VEHICLE. ano ba weight ng motorcycle. You should dobsomething about this LTO sayang lang ang binabayad namin sa taxes. Please do something about this.matter thanks.
