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).
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:
period not exceeding two years
Rationale: The director of LTO has the authority to either suspend or revoke your driver's license
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.
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.
A driver found to have been driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, dangerous
drugs and/or other similar substances, as provided for under section 5 of this Act, shall be penalized if the
violation did not result in physical injuries or homicide with:
three (3) months imprisonment, and a fine ranging from twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000.00) to
eighty thousand pesos (₱80,000.00)
If the violation of Section 5 did not result in physical injuries or homicide, the penalty of three (3)
months imprisonment, and a fine ranging from Twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000.00) to Eighty
thousand pesos (₱80,000.00) shall be imposed
