More than 18,800 vehicles were apprehended last month as the Land Transportation Office (LTO) stepped up its campaign against delinquent owners of unregistered motor vehicles across the country.

LTO chief, Assistant Secretary Vigor D. Mendoza II said the owners of all the 18,882 motor vehicles apprehended will pay a fine of P10,000, aside from the mandatory registration and penalties for late registration of their motor vehicles. 

“We have been making our presence felt on the roads across the country. And this will be more aggressive once our enforcers complete the refresher courses that we have been conducting,” said Mendoza.

“So we are appealing to our motorists to make sure that the registration of their motor vehicles are updated because once you are caught, you will surely shell out more money because you will have to pay the fines and penalties,” he added.

Based on the LTO data, motorcycles comprise the most number of apprehended with 11,437 apprehensions; followed by tricycles with 3,315; vans with 2,056; and, private cars with 1,059.

Most of those apprehended were in Calabarzon(Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon).

The LTO recently launched the “Stop Road Crash” campaign for road safety and Mendoza said part of it is the campaign against unregistered motor vehicles.

He explained that renewing the motor vehicle registration is one of the best ways to check the road worthiness of motor vehicles since motor vehicle inspection is a requirement.
