License Restriction Code Guide Question [MERGED]

[dr. d]

i think "restriction" means, this is what you are allowed to drive..
thus, restriction 1 means, you are allowed only motorcycles or tricycles...
restriction 2 means, you may drive any vehicle up to 4500 kg, manual or auto...
restriction 3 means, you may drive vehicles above 4500 kg... manual or auto..
restriction 4 means, you may drive only automatic vehicles up to 4500 kg... you may not drive MT..
restriction 5 means, you may drive automatic vehicles over 4500 kg.. no MT..
now, do restrictions 2 and 3 allow for motorcycle driving? i am not sure. but my guess is, no. because you did not take the driving exam for motorcycles..

E di pwede rin po akong mag drive ng motorsiklo o tricycle kahit R-2 lang ang restriction ko kaci wala below 4500 kgs ang motorsiklo.

Pwede, wag ka lang magpahuli o ma involve sa accident, at pag naaksidente ka void ang insurance claim mo (valid driver's license clause).

Seriously.. as earlier posted and at LTO site, Restriction 1 is specifically for motorcycles. You need restriction 1 for you to legally operate motorcycle in public roads.

question..

are we limited to only 3 restrictions? theoretically hindi ba pwede kunin yung 1-3, 6-8 restrictions? just curious.

[larry0609]

Pwede naman na aside from 1,3 meron pa 6 and 8. But you need to have a certification for 6 and 8, coming from TESDA or LTO authorized certifying body, to apply for it.

meron din bang license requirement ung mga operator ng pison at bulldozer? minsan kasi nakakakita ako ng mga ganyan sa hi-way papunta sa next project nila.

Yes, because those equipment are classified as Articulated Vehicle.

Money making scheme ng Philippine government yung restrictions, may bayad kapag gusto mong approved for additional restrictions.

Sa US kapag may license ka na pwede ka na sa motorcycle, cars, and trucks. For me I took and passed the driver exam using a subcompact. With that license I'm able to rent U-haul trucks when moving apartments. Sa Pinas you have to be approved for truck restriction (above 4500kg) to be able to drive one.

I took the exam using an automatic, but got a manual transmission for my daily drive. Sa atin di ulit pwede ito, you have to pass the exam using an MT to be approved for that restriction.

Kapag makapamuhay ka sa ibang bansa you discover na ang daming kotong ng gobyerno sa atin. I guess ginagawa nila itong excessive kotong para ma-offset yung mga ninanakaw nila. Otherwise walang matitira pambayad utang sa ibang bansa at para sa pagpapatakbo ng gobyerno.

but if you think hard about it, you might decide that ours is really a more sensible proposition..
for example, just how many automobile drivers are adept at driving motorcycles?
and what is the logic in allowing a one-legged driver to drive a MT?
and allowing a driver who learned and qualified in AT, to drive a MT? i wouldn't want to be inside that car.. (well, actually, i was in one once.. i wouldn't want to experience that again..)

I was also thinking about that but thought that if this approach is not effective, lots of accidents caused by this approach, the US would have changed their policy. Plus here sa Pinas you can get a license without taking any test, another money making scheme. Traffic enforcers are interested more on kotong than ensuring the rules of the road are strictly adhere to. Bottom line politicians and government officials create rules to promote their self interest, in the guise of public service. But upon implementation, or lack of it, the true purpose is revealed. Usually to create more bureaucracy that breeds more corruption.

In their own words, politicians, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Point taken. The main difference of our rules and USA's rules lies in the traffic and driving conditions. We live in of the most congested cities in the world while US has the world's loneliest road. Also, wala sila jeepneys and tricycles and kuliglig and pedestrians suddenly coming out of nowhere and cutting you up.

In a word: Discipline

Sad but true.

And lack of law enforcement. Kung alam ng tao na kapag mahuli sila ay zero chance na makakalusot, makakasuhol, they will obey the law. Pero kung law abiding ka tapos karamihan ng kasabay mo ay traffic violators, tapos di pa hinuhuli kahit sa harap ng TE ginagawa yung violation, malamang mahahawa rin ang karamihan sa bulok na sistema.

Example, yung yellow box sa intersections means bawal tumigil doon. Kapag mag change ang traffic light to red at nakabara ka roon ticket na dapat sa TE iyon. Kaso dito t*nga on nagt*t*ngahan mga TE at di iniisyuhan ng ticket yung lahat ng nakabara sa yellow box. Effect tutok yung mga drivers kapag alam nilang magpupula na ilaw kahit alam nilang aabutan sila ng pula sa loob ng yellow box. Ikaw naman law abiding trap sa mga nakabara. Kung mag green at bago ka makausad ay magrered, tapos alam mong tututok yung kabilang traffic bago mag red, ie di ka ulit makakausad. Ano gagawin mo, wait forever? So magagaya ka rin sa kanila.

So the main control for ensuring discipline is stringent punishment for law violators.

How about the blind with professional drivers license, LTO is a agency with a lot of unqualified person to manage drivers and vehicle issues.

You need to have a restriction code 1 in order to drive a motor.
