LTO apprehends over 7k unregistered vehicles in Feb.

MANILA: Last month, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) apprehended a total of 7,252 unregistered vehicles through its aggressive implementation of the “No Registration, No Travel” policy.

Of the aforementioned figure, a total of 1,653 vehicles were impounded.

The bureau’s Chief Assistant Secretary, Attorney Vigor Mendoza II, noted that the crackdown will continue in the coming days and emphasized that renewal of vehicle registration is one of the ways to determine the roadworthiness of vehicles.

“Our aggressive operation continues, so once again we call on delinquent motor vehicles not to wait for you to be caught because you will pay more and your vehicles may even be impounded,” said the agency’s head honcho.

In addition, the aggressive crackdown on delinquent motor vehicles comes with an intensified campaign against colorum vehicles.

Citing reports from the LTO Regional Offices, Mendoza revealed a total of 243 vehicles were apprehended as they were caught engaging in picking up passengers without the necessary permits from the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board.

Of the figure, a total of 123 vehicles were impounded.

“Let this serve as a stern warning to both the delinquent motor vehicle owners that we will continue with this operation because this involves road safety and your obligation that comes with motor vehicle ownership,” Mendoza said.

“The same warning goes to operators and drivers of colorum vehicles. We have already filed a lot of cases and we will not stop until such time that you are held accountable for your illegal activities,” he added.
