The Land Transportation Office has summoned 24 registered owners of trucks that were caught with worn out tires during the agency’s intensified operations across the country following several cases of fatal road accidents.
“We observed that there has been an utter disregard to the road safety by some erring truck owners. In our aggressive campaign, some of the common violations are worn-out tires which are really dangerous not only to the truck drivers but also to other road users,” said Mendoza. “We will not allow these erring truck owners to disregard the traffic rules and regulations,” he added.
The registered owners were also tasked to submit a written and notarized explanation as to why they should not be charged for violating the Republic Act 4136, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code for having worn-out tires.
