LTO suspends over 100 driving schools for offering ‘non-appearance’ services
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended 107 driving schools nationwide in the past two weeks for alleged fixing of applicants' driver's licenses.
LTO chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II stated that an audit trail revealed violations in various regions, primarily in Central Luzon, Calabarzon, and Metro Manila.
The common infractions include no-show incidents and non-compliance with theoretical driver's training requirements, which account for about 90% of the violations.
Driving schools have been issued show cause orders to explain their side regarding the violations while under suspension.
This strict enforcement aligns with directives from Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon and President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to tighten regulations.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) also recently met with concerned groups to discuss recommendations for improving road safety.
