Latest List of Traffic Violation, Penalties and Fees of LTO-Philippines

In June 2014, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board approved the New or Revised Schedule of Fines and Penalties for Violations of Laws, Rules and Regulations Governing Land Transportation. Penalties have been raised (increased). LTO said that it has decided to increase the penalties/fines to force the motorist in avoiding the traffic violations. For example, the previous Php 1,500 penalty for driving without driver's license is increased to Php 3,000 and the Php 150 penalty for failure to carry Certificate of Registration is increased to Php 1,000.

Thank you for providing detailed information about the list of a traffic violation, penalties, and fees of LTO Philippines. Every mistake you commit while on the road will result in penalties and fees which is why you need to be more responsible. All of us would agree that paying such expense can be painful knowing that we can avoid paying such amount. Knowing this will enlighten our minds to be more careful on the road as well as following all the regulations. Additionally, you might want to check this blog that provides some reminders to avoid LTO penalties. Here's the link: https://blog.beepbeep.ph/avoid-lto-penalties/

Napakalaki naman po yata ng itinaas na mga penalties. Sang ayon po ako sa komento No. 28 Francis Ranollo. Hindi naman po maliit na halaga yan sa mga driver lalo at ang pagdadrive ang kanilang hanapbuhhay. Baka akala nyo po ay isa tayong napakaunlad na bansa na balewala ang libo libong penalty nio. Mas malaki pa ang penalty na defective brakelight 5000 pesos kesa sa reckless driving na 2000 ang 1st offense?

What is the procedure undertaken when a driver hit a motorcycle, an accident which was caused by the motorcycle? The driver of the car was deemed positive for alcohol. What is the procedure undertaken to,establish that the driver was under the influence of alcohol? What if the driver of the motorcycle did not show up at the police station where the driver of the vehicle that hit the motorcycle was taken, and had waited for almost a day?

. what is STOP and GO signage? if it refers to EARLY WARNING DEVICE why change it when it is best understood.
. why NO FIRE EXTINGUISHER is a violation for non service business vehicles... land transportation services i think refers to vehicles being used for LAND TRANSPORTATION SERVICE BUSINESS.
. if a delivery panel have to be penalized why did LTO renew our registration without requiring a fire extinguisher when they can do so. why penalized when we were not being told first.
. there are so many government vehicles in our country without a fire extinguisher, why did they choose us randomly? if you penalize for that then apply it to all...
