QuestionsQuestions (LTO MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. VPT-2010-1420)
It amends/adds to MC No. 763-2006 to effectively implement its objectives and to allow certain minor traffic violations to be settled “anywhere” for customer satisfaction, specifically those that do not require presentation of evidence and suspension of driver’s licenses.
It is a policy under which specified violations may be settled without the usual requirements of presenting evidence and without suspending drivers’ licenses.
Examples: (1) Sec. 1—Driving without a license; (2) Sec. 2A—Driving with delinquent or expired license; (3) Sec. 2B—Driving with suspended or revoked or improper license.
Because the MC categorizes them as violations that do not require presentation of evidence and suspension of the driver’s license, allowing settlement anywhere.
Sec. 3C is failure to sign the driver’s license; yes, it is included in the LETAS Settle Anywhere policy.
Sec. 9 is a student driver operating a motor vehicle without being accompanied by a licensed driver; it is included in LETAS Settle Anywhere.
Yes. It is Sec. 10—Unlicensed conductor, included in the list.
It covers failure to wear the prescribed seat belt devices and/or failure to require passengers to wear prescribed seat belt devices or to take another seat for which a seat belt is not required; it is specifically included with the stated offense limits.
Sec. 33—No EWD or failure to use early warning device, and Sec. 33B—Failure to install EWD 4 meters away to the front and rear of the stalled/disabled MV.

They are excluded: (1) Sec. 55 (2nd & 3rd offense)—Reckless driving; (2) Sec. 48—Overcharging/undercharging; and (3) Sec. 62F—Flagged up taxi meter operating on contractual basis.
