A driver caught driving an unregistered motor vehicle will be penalized by:
a fine of Php 10,000
Rationale: Never drive an unregistered vehicle. Doing so may result to a fine of Php 10,000. Worse still,
if the non-registration exceeded one month, the vehicle will be impounded and released only once the
vehicle has been registered and the corresponding fines and penalties have been paid.

Unregistered Motor Vehicle: Violations and Fines


Driving an unregistered motor vehicle carries with it a fine of P10,000. Worse still, if the non-registration
exceeded one month, the vehicle will be impounded and released only once the vehicle has been
registered and the corresponding fines and penalties have been paid. Ouch.

So, to answer your question, if you haven’t registered your car in three years and you’re caught on the
road, you will lose your car, have to pay the P10,000 fine, and the additional penalties to register your
vehicle.

But how much are these penalties exactly? All vehicles need to be registered on their assigned week
(based on your plate number’s last two digits). An example is a plate ending in 12 will need to be
registered in February (last digit 2) from the first to the seventh working day (second to the last digit
1). If you go beyond this seven working- day period, a penalty of P100 for motorcycles or P200 for all
other vehicles will be charged.

If, however, you go beyond the registration month, but not more than 12 months beyond (based on the
last digit), you will be charged an additional penalty equivalent to 50% of the Motor Vehicle User’s
Charge (MVUC) for your vehicle class.

As an example, a light passenger vehicle (with gross vehicle weight of up to 1,600kg) has an MVUC
charge of P1,600, so 50% of this would be an additional fine of P800 on top of your renewal fees.

If you exceed 12 months (which you did, if you haven’t registered in three years), the answer is a bit
more complicated. The government will look to see if you have had any apprehensions for violations of
any land transportation laws during the period of non-registration.

If you were fortunate enough not to violate any laws, you will be charged 50% of the MVUC plus the cost
of renewing your registration (once).

When driving on mountain roads during daytime, you should:


blow your horn when approaching a blind curve
Rationale: Do this as a precaution to warn possible incoming vehicles that you are also

The license of a driver who has been convicted for at least three times within a 12 month period may be
revoked or suspended by the Director for:

depending on the gravity of the series of violations you've committed within in a period of one year.

Driving in heavy rains can be extremely dangerous because visibility is limited. What should you do?
When you cannot see more than 20 meters in front of you, turn on your hazard lights/headlights
and look for a safe place to park.
Rationale: A good rule when driving in the rain and you cannot see more than 20 meters ahead of
you is to turn on your hazard lights.

If the driver is turning left, he must: (U-turn / Left Rule)


yield to approaching cars
Rationale: When you're about to do a left or U-turn be sure to give way to incoming vehicles first.

When a driver of PUV refuses to render service, convey passengers, such violation is penalize with:
fine of ₱1, 000
Depending on the frequency of the offense, drivers who would violate the provisions of HB 7774
would be fined ₱1,000 up to ₱5,000 and have their driver's license suspended for 7 days up to one
year. Vehicle operators would also be subjected to a fine of ₱5,000 to ₱15,000.

What will happen when your rear tire blows out?


The back end will sway away from the blowout
The back end is likely to swing out first with the same side as the blowout. Expect it to sway from side to
side.

What will happen when your front tire blows out?


The front end will pull towards the side of the blowout
When the tire has a blowout it suddenly becomes much difficult for the wheel to rotate, and also it is a
smaller radius so this makes the car pull into the direction of the blown out tire.
When a vehicle starts to skid, what should the driver do?
Hold firmly on to the wheel while slowing down the vehicle
Never step hard on the brake during a skid. Instead, get your foot off the accelerator and brake pedals and
steer gently in the direction you want the vehicle to go to.
