LTO Driver's Duties and Responsibilities Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Under RA 4136, what must a driver do when an authorized officer asks to see their license?
- Ignore the request if they are in a hurry
- Present the license for inspection immediately (Correct answer)
- Show only a photocopy of the license
- Call their lawyer first
Correct answer: Present the license for inspection immediately
Under RA 4136, drivers must present their valid driver's license upon demand by any authorized law enforcement officer.
Section 19 of RA 4136 requires every driver to carry their license while operating a vehicle and present it upon demand. Failure to do so is a traffic violation subject to penalties.
Question 2: When a driver's vehicle breaks down on the highway at night, what is the correct action to protect other road users?
- Leave the vehicle and call for help without warning others
- Place warning triangles or flares at appropriate distances behind the vehicle (Correct answer)
- Turn on only the hazard lights and stay inside
- Push the vehicle to the nearest exit unaided
Correct answer: Place warning triangles or flares at appropriate distances behind the vehicle
Placing warning triangles or flares at sufficient distances behind a disabled vehicle alerts oncoming traffic and prevents accidents.
Drivers are duty-bound to warn other motorists of a disabled vehicle. Warning triangles should be placed at least 50 meters behind the vehicle on a highway to give drivers adequate time to react.
Question 3: Which describes the duty of a driver involved in a vehicular accident with injuries?
- Flee the scene to avoid legal trouble
- Render aid to the injured and report to the nearest police station (Correct answer)
- Wait for the other party to call for help
- Only report if the injury is serious
Correct answer: Render aid to the injured and report to the nearest police station
Philippine law requires a driver involved in an accident to render immediate aid to injured parties and report to the nearest police station.
Under RA 4136 and the Revised Penal Code, drivers must stop, render assistance to injured persons, provide identifying information, and report the incident to the authorities. Hit-and-run is a criminal offense.
Question 4: Under RA 4136, a driver is legally prohibited from carrying how many passengers beyond registered seating capacity?
- 1 additional passenger
- 2 additional passengers
- Any number above the registered seating capacity (Correct answer)
- 3 additional passengers
Correct answer: Any number above the registered seating capacity
Overloading is prohibited. No passengers beyond the registered seating capacity are allowed.
RA 4136 prohibits drivers from carrying more passengers than the registered seating capacity of their vehicle. Overloading is a traffic violation that endangers the safety of all passengers and other road users.
Question 5: What does Restriction Code 1 on a Philippine driver's license indicate?
- Driver may operate vehicles with manual transmission only
- Driver may operate vehicles with automatic transmission only (Correct answer)
- Driver may operate motorcycles only
- Driver may operate all vehicle types
Correct answer: Driver may operate vehicles with automatic transmission only
Restriction Code 1 means the driver is restricted to vehicles with automatic transmission only.
LTO restriction codes appear on the driver's license. Code 1 = automatic transmission only; Code 2 = vehicles with gross vehicle weight not exceeding 4,500 kg; Code 3 = vehicles above 4,500 kg. Driving outside one's restriction code is a violation.
Question 6: A driver with a suspended license who is caught operating a vehicle faces which consequence?
- Only a verbal warning
- Revocation of the license and possible criminal liability (Correct answer)
- A fine of PHP 50 only
- Automatic reinstatement after paying a small fee
Correct answer: Revocation of the license and possible criminal liability
Driving with a suspended license can result in revocation of the license and possible criminal charges.
Operating a vehicle with a suspended license is a grave violation under RA 4136. The LTO can escalate the suspension to full revocation, and the driver may face criminal liability under applicable laws.
