AFAIK, professional license holder lang ang pwede.

A student driver must be accompanied by a "duly-licensed" driver. It did not specify if you are a "Prof." or "Non-Prof."
So long as you have a valid Philippine DL you could accompany a student driver.

I just renewed my non-prof driver's license the other day in LTO Binan. Initially I also wanted to change it to Professional kasi tuturuan ko mga pamangkin ko. A nice License-Customer Representative told me that I (non-prof holder) can be an instructor to my niece without changing to prof. Mga driving instructors on driving school, PUV drivers, family/company drivers, etc lang daw dapat Professional holder. In short, those who make a living in driving. Tnx.

Thank you for the clarification sir. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na pwede pala ang Non-Pro. Sayang, sana tinuloy mo na din ang non-pro to pro mo.

Your welcome Sir. Nag-alangan din ako kasi parang may seminar pa even on minor violations as mentioned on other thread. Though I always abide traffic laws minsan kasi di maiwasan lalo na if stranger ka sa isang lugar.

It seems even sa may authority d nila alam ang Republic Act 4136 "Land Transportation and Traffic Code under Chapter 3 Article 1 Section 30 Student-driver Permit " ... No student driver shall operate a motor vehicle unless accompanied by a duly licensed driver." And this was already cited on other thread. In addition, Driver and Professional driver are defined in Article 2 Section 3 Definitions as " (d) Driver shall mean every and any licensed operator of a motor vehicle." and " (e) Professional driver shall mean every and any driver hired or paid for driving or operating a motor vehicle, whether for private use or for hire to the public.Any person driving his own motor vehicle for hire is a professional driver." respectively.

Ano pala nangyari hindi kayo naticketan?
