Poe urges LTO to strictly implement driver's license rules

Senator Grace Poe urged the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to strictly implement rules on driver's license provision to ensure only qualified motorists use the roads.

This statement follows a fatal road crash on the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) northbound lane where a bus rammed into vehicles queuing at the toll plaza, resulting in 10 deaths and over 30 injuries.

Poe emphasized that road safety is contingent on qualified, skilled, and law-abiding drivers possessing licenses.

She believes the recent crashes should serve as a wake-up call for transportation officials to enforce licensing rules rigorously.

Charges are being prepared against the bus driver involved in the SCTEx incident.
