Title Supreme Court: Ban on Initial Registration of RHD Vehicles

Law: Dotc Department Order No. 94-806

Decision Date: Jul 28, 1994

The DOTC Department Order No. 94-806 prohibits the initial registration of right-hand drive motor vehicles in order to enhance road safety, following concerns over their improper use and the resulting increase in vehicular accidents.

administrative law

A

Previous Allowance for Registration of Right-Hand Drive (RHD) Vehicles

LTO Administrative Order No. 90-003 permitted the registration of RHD vehicles intended solely for private use.
This was based on representations regarding the safety of such vehicles under private operation.

Issues Due to Circumvention and Resulting Safety Concerns

Circumvention occurred with RHD vehicles registered as "For Private Use" but actually used "For Hire."
This led to a proliferation of RHD vehicles on public roads contrary to intended restrictions.
Many vehicular accidents were linked to RHD vehicles driven by operators lacking a clear view of the road.

Prohibition on Initial Registration of Right-Hand Drive Motor Vehicles

All RHD motor vehicles, regardless of their gross weight, origin, or type, are prohibited from initial registration by any LTO agency.

Exceptions to the Prohibition

RHD vehicles classified as Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) recognized as "off the road" heavy-duty, slow-moving vehicles are exempted.
The LTO has the authority to determine the classification of such SPVs.

Administrative Accountability

LTO officers or employees found violating this prohibition will face administrative sanctions.

Amendments and Effectivity

Previous orders, circulars, and memoranda inconsistent with this guideline are amended accordingly.
The order takes effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette or a newspaper of general circulation.

Legal Authority and Adoption

This guideline was promulgated by the Department of Transportation and Communications and signed by the Undersecretary on 28 July 1994.
