And we have jeepneys made by "Engineers"...

Add the multicabs that arrives in "chop-chop" then welded together.

These vehicles are allowed because these are not "modified"? Yes, because these are assembled!

Theres nothing wrong when it is used for leisure or for learning purposes.. but should not be used for the public service..

LTO can easily do this if they only DO their mandate.. problem is they dont do inspections anymore and even if they authorize private companies to do the inspection.. will only revert to the lagay system..

Its a good thing that LTO now do not require stencil for vehicles not older than 5 years (pls correct me if im wrong).

Ala na namang magawang matino ang LTO.

Just a week ago, can't register mine and the stencil guy can't even find the numbers. I ended up paying P1500 for casa to do the stencil thing.

1500 just to do the stencil? Kung malapit ka sa akin I'd do that for 1k

Seriously bat ganun kamahal? And di mo mahanap yung engine at chassis number kaya sa casa mo pinagawa?

Sorry sir di ko matanggap ang 1500

1500 is highway robbery to my ears too. Which casa is this?

Yet these LTO people talk of roadworthiness.

i suppose, the bumpers have to be of optimum height and construction, else they lose the mitigating effects on the bump-ed.

the lights... of course! kung nakakasilaw, o nakaka-confuse (red lights in front, green lights at rear, psychedelic lights, etc).

Might help their reputation some to keep dilapidated vehicles off the road (no pun intended) first before they start picking on modded ones.

no offense, but,
i heard this argument before.
it's the "bat kami? unahin muna sila" syndrome.

my take on the matter is, "we have to start somewhere, so why not with you? don't worry about them. we'll eventually get to them.".

Because some mods also improve a car's safety to a point as long as you don't go overboard, like bigger rims and wider tires. And by their own admission the law is very old and some provisions therein may not be applicable to modern cars anymore.

Dilapidated brakes on older cars on the other hand is an example of a clear and cut safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately but isn't. How about focusing on that first?

Speaking of roadworthiness, they couldn't even apprehend those vehicles without lights! I no longer drive at night going to Bataan but back then, it is a "usual sight to see" them.

Add the blue lights where it makes it difficult for you to estimate the distance​ of the car (or motorcycle) in front of you. Blue light has shorter wavelengths such that it has the tendency to scatter making it difficult for you to "see". Then there is that signal lights converted to "red signal lights". Mixer trucks whose tail lights are placed "away from your usual line of sight". Tricycles plying the main roads...

I do not mean to say that we should not apprehend those off-roaders that violated the rules. However, I see it more as a "fund-raising project" as it was stated that they will confiscate in favor of the government. Remember the "old car registration scheme"? If the car is 20 years old, it will no longer be registered because it's no longer roadworthy! I could count with my fingers those off-roaders everyday but not those "roadworthy assembled vehicles".

Who am I to speak? I'm not even an automotive expert.

cannot enforce laws re super dark tint, super bright LEDs, pasaway motorcycle drivers etc

sigurado wala magagawa ang gobyerno about offroad mods

everybody should just weld steel tubes around their cars para may laban sa banggaan

Good fundraising! Campaign season![emoji14]
