Professional vs. Non-professional driver's license

[CVT]

Madali lang ang written exam.

Basic (driving) rules and regulation and a lot of common sense....

pwede bang NBI clearance nalang...un meron ako...

[OTEP]

Yup, pwede NBI kaso wala ako nun. Takbo ko ng QC city hall to get police clearance. Mas mabilis kasi.

[ptk675]

kailangan din magpalit to Prof kung kukuha ka ng International DL.

eto ba yung kinukuha sa AAP/PMA? di naman kailangan ng pro dito eh. nung kumuha ako nun, pinakita ko lang yung non-pro ko, bayad ng fee, smile sa camera, tapos after 1 hour ok na yung IDL ko.


afaik, basta nagdadrive ka to earn a living lalo kung mga PUVs gamit mo, dapat pro ang license. pero kung personal na sasakyan mo kahit na elf or di trailer pa, pede na ang non-pro tapos additional restrictions nalang.

ako 1,2,3, ang restriction ko eh. di ko napalagyan ng 4 and 6 nung last time na nagpa renew ako kasi kailangan sa may guiguinto LTO pa ko pupunta. e hassle kaya next time nalang. bihira din naman ako mag drive ng may trailer eh. wag lang machambahan na matic ang dala ko tapos makursunadahan ng nanghuhuli..

sir ang alam ko hanggang 3 restrictions lang pwede sa license natin, so kung papadagdag ka ng 4 mawawala na yung 1 mo (2,3,4)

wag lang machambahan na matic ang dala ko tapos makursunadahan ng nanghuhuli..

so di pala pwede rest 2 lang sa matic car sir?
buti na lang di naqquestion pag nahuhuli ako

[OTEP]

Actually pwede naman ang matic. Ang hindi pwede ay yung kapag matic ang restriction mo and nagdrive ka ng manual. Pero alam mo naman ang buwaya...hehehehe.

Restriction 4 is for small trailers. Mawalala ba ang 1,2,3 dun?

[russpogi]

...Mawalala ba ang 1,2,3 dun?

I don't think so. Hindi naman natin kasalan na marunong tayong mag-drive ng motorbikes, cars, light trucks, and SUVs with trailer, diba?

I believe allowable yung 1 2 3 4 na restriction codes.

[woohoo]

sir ang alam ko hanggang 3 restrictions lang pwede sa license natin, so kung papadagdag ka ng 4 mawawala na yung 1 mo (2,3,4)

Pwede kasi yun, kaya di na-qu-question.

Tama si doc Otep, yung vice-versa ang hindi pwede.

Actually pwede naman ang matic. Ang hindi pwede ay yung kapag matic ang restriction mo and nagdrive ka ng manual. Pero alam mo naman ang buwaya...hehehehe.

Restriction 4 is for small trailers. Mawalala ba ang 1,2,3 dun?

Pero dito mali si doc.

Restriction 4 is for those who can/are allowed to drive vehicles with A/T only.

If you have restriction 2, you're automatically qualified to drive A/T vehicles up to 4500 Kg Gross Vehicle Weight because you can drive M/T vehicles up to 4500 Kg Gross Vehicle Weight, so no need to have Restriction 4.

If you have restriction 3, you're automatically qualified to drive A/T vehicles weight more than 4500 Kg GVW because you can drive their M/T versions, so no need to have Restriction 5.

Yung restrictions 6 to 8 are for articulated vehicles (iyung bumabali ang katawan, like when you have a trailer hitched to your car/SUV). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_vehicle

pwd mag tanong..??? pano po ba ung written at practical exam..??

ano kelangan gawin..?? monday na kc exam ko..kinakabahan ako...

mahirap ba ung practical exams..???

nung gagawin nila sayo..??

at ano ung mga kelangang tandaaan....can u give me same tips.???

[Horsepower]

Wag ka kabahan, napakadali lang ng exam. Na-perfect ko nga e. No joke.

The exam is actually a joke, sobrang dali any gradeschooler can pass it.

The practical is easy too, as long as you know how to drive a manual (manual kasi ang test vehicle nila). Pwede ka ata automatic pero dala ka sarili mong sasakyan. Iikot lang kayo sa vicinity, wala pang 2 minutes.

the term professional does not state on how well you drive but it is a designation if you use your licence as a profession or not...

non-pro:

1. green
2. minimum of 17years old, 3-years only
3. less than 300-400 to renew, drug test included
4. you can only drive vehicles you/your family own...
5. you cannot assist a student driver
6. some regard non-pro as "much up-level" than the pro-licence.

pro licence:

1. red
2. minimum of 18 years old, 5-years to renew
3. more than 400 pesos to renew, drug test included
4. you can drive practically anybody's car
5. you can assist a student driver
6. you can drive a private, public or a government vehicle...
7. kaya most drivers dapat prof. licencce..

Kelan pa nagsimula ang 5 years renewal? I have a pro-license; but I renew it every 3 years. I just renewed it this year and the expiration is 2010.

As a non-pro, you aren't limited to drive your/your family owned cars only. You can drive anybody's car as long as you are permitted by the owner, it is not PU or for hire, and it is within the restriction/s of you license.

[CVT]

When I renewed my driver's license some years ago, and drug test was required,- I opted to have it converted to professional license since only police clearance + exam were the additional things I have to fulfill. The exam was straightforward if you really know driving and traffic rules and regulations.

Traffic Info :car:

On the 5-year renewal of license (both for non-pro or pro), I'm quoting Sec. 23 of the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, as amended:

[SIZE=2]"Sec. 23. Issuance of driver's license, fees and validity. — If, after such examination, the Director or his deputies find that the applicant possesses the necessary qualification and proficiency in the operation of motor vehicles, is able to read and write any of the official languages or a major dialect and knows how to read and interpret various traffic signs, signals and road markings, a professional or nonprofessional license may be issued to such applicant upon payment of the fee prescribed in accordance with law, but prior to the issuance of said license, the applicant shall present himself in person and have his photograph taken by the bureau. All driver's licenses issued shall be signed in the presence of the Director or his deputies and shall bear, among others, the full name, date of birth, height, weight, ***, color of eyes, blood type, complete current address, right hand thumbprint of the licensee, license number, and its date of issue and expiration.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]"In the issuance of licenses, the Bureau shall use such process or adopt such measure as will prevent any alteration or falsification of a license or will enable the Bureau to detect any unauthorized license.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2] "Except for student permits and new licenses, all driver's licenses shall be valid for three consecutive years reckoned from the birthdate of the licensee, unless sooner revoked or suspended: Provided, however, That, subject to Section twenty-six hereof, any holder of a professional or nonprofessional driver's license who has not committed any violation during the three-year period shall be entitled to a renewal of such license for five-year period."

Has anybody availed of the 5-year renewal?

[woohoo]

[SIZE=4] That can't be right. It's quite illogical.
[/SIZE]
Nakapangalan ang sasakyan ko sa company namin, so hindi ko pwedeng i-drive? Pati yung sa best friend ko, di ko pwedeng hiramin? Uh-uh-uh!

[SIZE=2]Just to continue the original message quoted:

5. you cannot assist a student driver
6. some regard non-pro as "much up-level" than the pro-licence.

pro licence:

1. red
2. minimum of 18 years old, 5-years to renew

ang alam ko non professional license driver can assist a student driver.

according sa lto website. Student driver operating a MV without being accompanied by a Licensed driver(walang sinabi kung pro or non-pro) penalty is P500.00

That's right. I've already addressed that in another thread, so I didn't bother to do it again today.

Sabi sa LTO website: "A student driver operating motor vehicle w/o being accompanied by a licensed driver"

Ganyan din ang pagkakaalam ko, based sa information galing sa tatay ko na former LTO Registrar.

So, pwedeng mag-accompany kahit non-prof ang license.

HTH...

[dbuzz]

mga bro nabanggit in previous page tungkol sa pag accompany ng nagda-drive na student permit. di ba pwede kung non pro ka?

opppss. ayon nauna pa answer sa question ko thanks.... galing ah..

[freefries]

gusto ko rin sana magpalit ng license to non pro to pro...yung driving school pa kasi nag assist sa amin nung license namin, ask nung taga lto kung anong restriction, eh di ko naman alam yun basta kita ko pwede motor sa 1 pinalagay ko na rin, 1 and 2 yung restriction ko..

gusto ko dahil, in case na magdrive ako ng ibang car na di akin, walang problema, pangalawa, pag tinuruan ko anak ko magdrive atleast im a pro di ba?? 3rd, matagal mag renew, 5 yrs...

2010 pa expired ng license ko, by that time papalitan ko na ng pula, then res123...

[MACpod]

may advantage din kung pro ung license mo pag nag apply ka ng driving license sa ibang bansa.
