LTO-7 starts apprehension
of vehicles with no plates

The Land Transportation Office in Region 7 has started apprehending motor vehicles without plate numbers, and LTO director Arnel Tancinco said any unit sporting unauthorized accessories over and around the plate numbers will also be intercepted.

Tancinco’s directive is in line with the implementation of the Joint Administrative Order number 2014-01, or the revised schedule of fines and penalties for violations of laws, rules and regulations governing land transportation.

Section D of the JAO stated that motor vehicles operating without or with defective/improper/unauthorized accessories, devices, equipment and parts shall be fined P5,000. The motor vehicle shall also be impounded until the accessory, device, equipment or part is properly installed, corrected or removed, and the fines paid.
