875 driver’s licenses cancelled

[BoEinG_747]

SOME 875 driver’s licenses were cancelled by the Land Transportation Office Licensing Section in 2005 because of age misrepresentation.

This was announced yesterday by assistant secretary and LTO chief Anneli Lontoc based on the official report of Eleonor Madrid, chief of LTO-LS.

According to Republic Act 4136, a person must be at least 17 years old to secure a non-professional driver’s license and at least 18 years old for a professional license.

However, there are those who declared a different birth date when they initially applied for license. LTO’s license section discovers such act once the person comes back to correct his birth date.

“When they renew their license and apply for a revision of birth date, we compare this birth date against the one they declared in their initial application of license” said Madrid, “From here we discover discrepancies and later find out that there are those were underage when they applied for the first time,” Madrid said.

According to Lontoc, all violators based on the existing rules and regulations of Transportation Law were penalized by LTO by suspending their driver’s license for a year.

i started driving nung 12 years old ako..pero sa subdivision at kasama tatay ko. i waited till 16 to get my student drivers and then 17 para mag apply ng non pro. ngayon nakikita ko ang importance kasi hindi ako makakadrive dito sa canasda kung fake ang age ko sa license jan sa pinas.

buti nalang...

[boybi]

naku, ang daming matatamaan dito.

nakikita lang ang importance ng date of birth sa license kapag nagaapply na ng kung anu-anong documents at kelangan ng valid ID, tapos license lang ang available. buti nalang 18 pa ako nagapply ng driver's license.

Langya, ngayon lang nila nalaman? Ilang taon na nangyayari yan.

Isa sa mga tatamaan nyan e yung mga anak ng nasa loob ng LTO. Maybe not all pero sigurado meron.

My license is legit ever since.

[alwayz_yummy]

ako, same as sir glenn...pero i started when i'm still in my grade 4...and with our first elf truck!

16 ko student, sinabak agad sa probinsya ni dadi, 17 up-till-now, non-prof, next renewal in 2009, pupunta na ako sa tayuman for my prof lic....sana ngayon, e nagmamadali...

[skyglider]

dapat siguro dyan wag na hintayin ng LTO na magpa-revise pa ng date of birth yun mga tao. i-compare na lang nila yung mga records sa NSO at bigyan nila ng notice for cancellation yung iba na dinaya yung age nila.

also they must be strict in their requirements plus stiffer penalties must be meted to those who misrepresented their age. one way of generating income din yun wag lang nilang ibu-bulsa.
