License Restriction Code Guide Question [MERGED]

**weisshorn** · February 16th, 2011 01:42 PM

from the LTO seminar i have attended in Cabuyao, if you have restriction code 2 and you are driving an automatic, this is a case of driving with IMPROPER license. an offense. so it is better for one to have 1, 2 & 4 altogether in the restriction code portion to save you from all hassles that you can think of. i don't think this is going to cost us more than 500 bucks to upgrade our RC. rather than experience a repeated offense over and over, of which the minimum penalty would start somewere in the 300s? you may never know what kind of traffic enforcer you might meet someday. so i believe it is better to do the right things right the first time. call it a worthwhile worry-free investment, if you will.

Napaliwanag na ito ng mismong LTO Chief several years ago broadcasted by way of radio and television media. In this case mukhang mali ata ang sabi ng nag conduct ng seminar!!??

Restriction 2 & 3 pwede mag-drive ng manual or automatic na sasakyan limited lang ayon sa specified gross vehicle weight.

Restriction 4 & 5 pwede lang mag drive ng automatic transmission, di pwede sa manual and again limited to specified gross vehicle weight. Usually binibigay ito sa mga handicapped driver like leg amputee. Syempre obvious naman na hindi sila pwede sa manual tranny.

Makikita mo sa likod ng license mo ang mga CONDITION. Ang lisensya ko may Condition A kasi kailangan ko magsuot ng eyeglasses or contact lens pag nagda-drive.

Hi sirs,

I am also in the same quandary as inaappropriate restriction may get us into all sorts of inconvenience such as presumption of negligence, violation of
traffic laws etc, including denial of claim from the insurance company, in cases of damages.

The issue is whether or not restriction 2 covers automatic transmission vehicles?

There is a rule in statutory construction that "what the law does not distinguish, we cannot distinguish". Which means, if we are to apply, "Vehicle up to 4500 kgs g v w" does include manual, automatic, sportronic, or tiptronic trannys. This is just my interpretation though of the restrictions so stated at the back portion
of the license. Should it be better if we have concrete legal basis on this one? Unfortunately, i have scoured on agency sites with no mention of it.

May we ask those from LTO to publish specifically their memorandum circular on this to settle the issue for once and for all.

Safe driving everyone.

Sa bago at updated na Application Form ng LTO, it clearly says na Restriction 2 is for Manual and Automatic Transmission.

Mag comment lang po ako sa old thread na ito. Restriction 2 & 3 pwede mag drive ng manual & automatic clutch vehicle up to 4500 GVW, as what I posted above years ago.
