A total of 984 driver’s licenses were revoked in 2024 for various serious offenses that include road rage and driving under the influence of liquor, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) said on Saturday, Jan. 4. Of the figure, LTO chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D.
Mendoza II said 736 of them were for violations of Republic Act 10586 (Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act) which includes driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal drugs/substance, and refusal to subject oneself to mandatory alcohol test during road crash. He said A total of 130 driver’s licenses were also revoked for violation of RA 4136, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code, particularly due to questionable ways of obtaining driver’s licenses. On the other hand, a total of 94 driver’s licenses were also revoked for violation of the provisions of RA 10930, the law that extended the validity of driver’s license. Mendoza said the violations include having double licenses, falsification of documents and cheating during examinations. Meanwhile, he said a total of 24 driver’s licenses were also revoked over viral videos on social media and other complaints lodged before the LTO Central Office. “We hope that this year, there will be no minimal or even zero administrative cases with driver’s license revocation as a penalty because we in the LTO want all our motorists to be responsible and disciplined while using our roads,” said Mendoza. “But let this also serves as a warning that your LTO will not hesitate to suspend and revoke as many driver’s licenses if it would lead to the safety of all road users. Always remember that the driver’s license we issue is a privilege,” he added. Earlier, the LTO reported that a total of 639,323 motorists were apprehended for various violations while a total of 29,709 motor vehicles were impounded in 2024
