Title Supreme Court: Amends R.A. 4136 on Vehicle Lights and Reflectors

Law: Republic Act No. 5715

Decision Date: Jun 21, 1969

Republic Act No. 5715 amends the requirements for lights and reflectors on parked or disabled vehicles to ensure visibility and safety, with non-compliance resulting in ineligibility for registration.

A

Requirement for Built-in Reflectors or Warning Devices on Motor Vehicles

Every motor vehicle must be equipped at all times with built-in reflectors or similar warning devices.
These reflectors or devices can be pasted, painted, or otherwise attached to the front and back of the vehicle.
They must be visible from a distance of at least 100 meters at night to ensure visibility and safety.

Prohibition on Registration of Non-Compliant Vehicles

Vehicles that do not have the required parking lights and built-in reflectors or warning devices as specified are not eligible for registration.
This provision ensures compliance with the safety features before a vehicle can be legally operated.

Effectivity of the Act

This amendment takes effect immediately upon its approval.
The law was enacted without the President's signature but remains valid and enforceable as of June 21, 1969.
