LTO will now require seminar prior renewal

[chronicle]

Sounds good.
Looks good.

But having doubts on the implementation as always.

The Land Transportation Office or LTO is now rationalizing driver’s licenses and one of the key takeaways here: be ready to attend a road safety seminar prior to your renewal. The news comes out after the LTO published the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 10930.

In it, it states that any motorist who currently holds a driver’s license (non-professional or professional) with a 5-year validity will have to undergo a mandatory road safety and proper road courtesy seminar prior to renewal. Meanwhile, those who hold a driver’s license with a 3-year validity will be allowed to move onto a driver’s license with a 5-year validity. After that, these individuals will have to undergo the same road safety seminar prior to their next renewal.

Those who apply for license renewal in Taguig are required to recite a road safety litany in front of the receiving officer before processing can begin. No such thing in the satellite offices. That LTO office is stricter than most though because vehicle lights, plates, tires, and EWD are checked and signed off before registration can be renewed.

So that lto branch is an autonomous one?
They implemented a requirement to recite even if it is not in the irr? What happens if you dont complete the litany?

But they are right in being strict on inspection.

i like that. it reminds us of road safety policy.

and every lto should really be strict with these car safety features.
as a taxpayer, i would criticize them if they did not.

i wonder, not many PU vehicles renew there...?
heh heh.

It's not a seminar per se but just to make sure that every applicant at least reads the rules. I see the same rules posted in most offices. Applicants can choose between English or Tagalog. No read no form.

Wishful thinking.. The practical exam should be a driving simulator where there will be various scenarios/obstacles/road risks and how the driver's reaction to these scenarios will be the basis if he/she should be allowed to renew his/her license.

well, they have that in airplane simulators... and, to a much lesser quality, in the mall electronic playground...
yes, wishful thinking.

in jest, i can recommend a practical drive... along taft, from vito cruz to monumento. pasado siya kung walang ni isang tama..."
heh heh.

OT.
in medicine, there are professional patients, trained and hired to impersonate patients with certain illnesses...

That would also be great if the majority of those attending the seminars can actually understand what is being discussed.

Specifically, PUV drivers who hold red licenses. Ironic, isn't it? Those we expect to know how to drive professionally are the ones with almost zero knowledge of road rules and courtesies. Especially Jeepney and trike drivers.

unfortunately, current rules do not dictate that they take re-accreditation exam when re-newing their professional license.

They should also give licenses to operators of E-Vehicles.

i agree.
many of these folks do not even seem conscious of common driving safety rules.
take the slow-moving mag-ina, hogging the fast lane along taft avenue...

That is exactly why I stated how ironic it is, considering they should Doc.

The LTO is awash with ineffective and unenforced rules and regulations which are often the cause of so many vehicular accidents.

I think the operative word should be to 'require' them to apply for driver's licenses and go through the whole process, seminars, written and actual driving tests.

Those small e-bikes in particular are road hazards. They shouldn't be on public roads in the first place.

perhaps we should lobby to have this re-examination in the renewal rules.

There should also be one in MANDARIN. Lots of Mainland Chinese with Filipino Driver's License. Don't ask how they got one.

If you could do that Doc, you could potentially save a lot of lives and we would all be grateful for it.

chinese laborers working in chinese-funded projects?
we should extradite them.
am i the only one, who sees these as de facto chinese soldiers, with just a signal from an ordinary cellphone?
