How much is the Fee for Renewal of a Non-Professional Driver’s License? How long does it take to renew a license?
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.
Nagttka lang po talaga ako hndi po ba centralized ang lahat ng ahensya ng LTO.?na huli po kc ako driving without valid driver licence, 1500 pesos lang pala ang penalty bakt dto sa province namin sa north cotabato, kidapawan city 3077 pesos ang penalty ko..?sobra naman mamera talaga, ok lang magbayad ako ng penalty pero kinssama ng loob ko d pareho ang system nila..

what does the metallic tires means?
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

Can a student permit holder drive with a non professional drivers license holder.
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.
ganyan din nangyari sakin last year. violation ko was under category 8. 2k ang alam kong fee pero nagulat ako nung sabihing 12k ang multa.
I have committed a violation of “No Seatbelt”, my first offense. I just want to ask, Is there a reset of all my violation once it reach lets say a year? For example, I commit violation Nov 2014, can I expect that by Nov. 2015 my record of violation will be zero out/reset?
May kaso ba q kung nag dadrive nq ng motor na student permit lng ang dala q. magkano po ba ang penalty nun?

Paano po ireport sa LTO ang driver na yun para hindi sya makapag renew agad ng license nya. Private vehicle po ang minamaneho at naka bicycle po ang father ko nung nangyari yun last december 25, 2013

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.

Tanong ko lang po kung magkano tubos ng plaka? ang violation ko po ay, failure to attach sticker sa plate, pero registered naman po ang sasakyan, at nasa sasakyan din lang yun sticker, hindi ko pa lang naiattach.. Thank you.
Pwede ko po bang echarge sa driver ng motor na bumanga ng sasakyan ko ang damage?. Wala
pong licence ang driver ng motor at walang helmet wala din pong rehistro ang motor.

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?
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.

You should dobsomething about this LTO sayang lang ang binabayad namin sa taxes. Please do something about this.matter thanks.
