The LTO said it was considering standardizing the fees charged to new driver’s license applicants after a lawmaker questioned the “antipoor” and “very expensive” cost of acquiring the permit. | janebautistaINQ /PDI
Under Republic Act No. 10930, the LTO is mandated to implement prerequisites and guidelines that would ensure that only those with “sufficient” driving skills and knowledge of road safety are granted driver’s licenses.
“The excessive cost for the acquisition of a new driver’s license impacts and exacts financial hardship and burden upon 50 million Filipinos who are below the age of 25 years old and will be driving for the first time,” she said. But the hefty prices, as pointed out by Bondoc, come from the theoretical driving course and practical driving course , which are both required under the law.A technical working group from the LTO has been convened to probe the issue, Tugade said, noting that they were revisiting the guidelines and fees charged by the accredited driving schools.“March will not end without a solution from the LTO,” Tugade said.
