Title Supreme Court: Vintage Cars Exempted from RHD Regulations

Law: Lto Memorandum

Decision Date: Aug 31, 1995

Undersecretary Primitivo C. Cal's memorandum exempts vintage cars from the right-hand drive regulations, allowing for their registration renewal despite the scheduled phase-out of in-use right-hand drive vehicles.

Legal basis: DOTC right-hand drive phase-out

The exemption applies to DOTC right-hand drive phase-out regulation DOTC Order No. 94-829, titled “Scheduled Phase Out of In-Use Right-Hand Drive (RHD) Vehicles.”
The attached DOTC memorandum states the vintage car is exempt from DOTC Order No. 94-829 because it is classified under item 4d of that order.

Policy and intent

The issuance implements an exemption framework under DOTC Order No. 94-829 by treating specified vintage cars as not covered by the RHD regulatory restrictions addressed by that order.
The issuance is directed to ensure registration continuity through renewal for exempt subject vehicles.

Coverage: vintage cars under item 4d

A vehicle qualifies for exemption when it is a vintage car classified under item 4d of DOTC Order No. 94-829.
The exemption is tied to classification under item 4d, which establishes the basis for exempt status from the RHD regulations covered by DOTC Order No. 94-829.

Operative directive: renew registration

The instruction to renew registration applies to the vehicles identified as exempt under the attached 15 August 1995 DOTC memorandum.

Administrative handling and dissemination

It also directs attention and appropriate action in relation to the renewal instruction.
