Professional vs. Non-professional driver's license

[OTEP]

Pro vs. Non-pro.

Ano ba pinagkaiba nila? Kailan ba kailangang ang professional driver's license?
Pwede mo ba ipa-iba restriction mo to drive a truck/bus and still stay non-pro?

Aside from police clearance/medical/drug test, ano pa ba ang kailangan mong dalhin kapag magpapalit from non-pro to pro?

Thank you.

unang kaibahan bro... yung pro is kulay pula.... yung non-pro is kulay berde. bwehehehehe.

seriously, afaik. yung pro is needed if you are driving to earn... if not, you just need non-pro. so kung halimbawa, pamasok mo is bus. pwedeng non-pro lang gamit mo... pero kung magsasakay ka and maniningil ng fare, dapat pro kailangan mo.

aside from the things that you've mentioned, you need money...hehehehehe.

Papadagdagan ko sana ng restriction yung lisensya ko para ma-cover ang light articulated vehicle (trailer). Hinahanapan ako ng OR/CR ng trailer. Kaso wala dito sa Manila yung trailer at yung papeles ng trailer. 'Nanghiram' muna ko ng OR/CR sa relative ng isang Tsikoteer pang-pakita lang sa LTO (kakilala naman namin yung mga tao dun sa branch na iyon, for formality's sake lang).

Since I'm going to the trouble of taking the exam (mag-eexam daw ulit, eh) naisip ko lang baka pwede na ding gawing pula. hehehe. Pwede nga ba?

Hindi ba hassle mag-renew ng pula?

pre. afaik, may exams nga yan...
pero sa renewal, hindi naman hassle yan. pareho lang din yan ng berde.

magmamaneho ka ng ambulansya pre?

[OTEP]

Oo nga ano. hehehe. Kailangan din pala ng pula para mag-maneho ng ambulance na may sakay.

May disadvantage ba ang professional na license?

Eligible ka ba mag-maneho ng mga double tire na Elf-type truck kapag pula ang license mo? Or dapat indicated din yun sa restrictions?

[nicolodeon]

Kahit change classification (non-prof to prof), may written exam pa rin tapos may practical exam. Pag nagpadag-dag ka ng restriction sa license, may exam pa din.

[nicolodeon]

Disadvantage? Pag nahuli ka, seminar ka ng one day sa PNP-Crame or sa LTO Main Office. Pag drive ka ELF truck, dapat pula tapos may restriction ka na naka dag-dag depende GW nung elf truck.

[nicolodeon]

Boss OTEP, AFAIK eh pag pag nagda-drive ka ng any PUV or truck eh dapat professional ang license mo. So, kung ganun eh hindi ka pwedeng non-pro pa ren pag nagmamaneho ka ng ng mga ganitong vehicles.

Requirements (aside from dun sa sinabi mo): original copy of current/expired non-prof license at application form.

AFAIK bayad ka ng mga between 200-250 petot.

IMHO

kailangan magpalit non PROf to PROf kapag ang trabaho mo ay Driver pero di na kailangan police clearance, medical/drug test at LTO written test.

kailangan din magpalit to Prof kung kukuha ka ng International DL.

Other than that mas maganda Non Prof kung hindi naman DRIVER ang profession.

AFAIK, kahit berde license mo puede ka kumuha ng IDL.

[boybi]

may exam pa ba kung mag palit from non-pro to pro? hindi naman ako nagexam dati, pero hindi rin ako naglagay. sinabi ko lang sa LTO na gagawin kong pro yung license ko, pinagbayad lang ako ng fee na pang pro na license.

[alwayz_yummy]

kung own car mo, ok na non-pro...professional doesent mean marunong ka o hindi..its for as profession/trabaho...

non-pro cheaper, 3 years, but di ka pwede magdrive ng PUVs or private cars na di sayo...

pro- much expensive, di ko alam kung 5 or 6 years....pwede ka magdrive ng PUVs or hiniram mo awto ng barkada mo....

mga sir OT. mayroon ba talagang batas na pag non-pro ka bawal magdrive ng private car na di sayo? ive been driving for years, non-pro lisenya ko and nakikihiram ako ng kotse...pero di ko alam to..

[Sarsi]

non pro- if you are using a private vehicle, it is the required license.
pro- if you are driving to make a living(family driver,truck driver,taxi driver...), it is the required license. also if you are using company car(medrep,salespeople) you are required to have professional license

you can also use professional driving license even if you are driving a private vehicle, BUT you are violating a law if you are making a living as driver and your license is nonprofessional

[OTEP]

boybi,
Ano restriction ng license mo?

Kailangan pa ba talaga magdala ng OR/CR ng sasakyan? Young double-tire na Elf kaya pa ba sa non-pro yun?

[nicolodeon]

Fafa Boybi, may exam na. To make sure, I checked their website. Eto yung mga procedures:


1. Proceed to the Evaluator to have your documents checked for completeness and authenticity, and secure a Driver's License Application Form. (This form is available for download here. You can accomplish this form prior to transacting your business at the LTO.).

2. Proceed to the Phototaking/Signature Area when your name is called to have your picture and signature taken.

3. Proceed to the Cashier when your name is called to pay the application fee.

4. Proceed to the Examination Room for the lecture and written exam.

5. After passing the written examination, wait for your name to be called for th practical exam.

6. After passing the practical examination, proceed to the Cashier when your name is called for payment of the necessary fees.

7. Proceed to the AMPI Counter when your name is called to have your signature and picture taken.

8. Claim the temporary driver's license (TDL) and the Official Receipt(OR) of payment.

Tinanong ko rin yung kakilala kong taga LTO dito sa Meycauayan. Ang sabi nya (re: exam from non-pro to pro) eh "depende na sa usapan nyo yan nung taga loob." Subjective ang interpretation dito.

[SlickStock]

bossing, if i'm not mistaken, sa PRO license, mas mabigat ata ang mga penalties kasi you're expected to know the rules of the road by heart kasi professional ka, araw-araw ka sa kalsada kasi you drive for a living kumbaga...

[Retz]

may exam pa sa LTO when converting from non-pro to pro.

Kailangan po ng Police Clearance, Drug Test, written exam et al kung magpapalit from Non-Pro to Professional Driver's License. Noong ginawa ko ito mga 3 years ago, hindi naman ako hiningan ng (photocopy ng) OR/CR ng sasakyan.

Kahit Non-Pro,- puwedeng kumuha ng International Driver's License. Ginagawa namin ito sa mga engineers naming pumupunta ng Amerika at gustong mag-drive. Pero ngayon ay hindi na, dahil puwede nilang gamitin ang kanilang Philippine Driver's License for two months (yata)....
