Overview

RA 4136 required all motor vehicles to be registered in a national registry. It also set the
registration requirements and fees for every car owner. Aside from that, this law also required drivers to

comply with the commission’s registration and licensing requirements.

for re-registration, transfer of ownership, or recording of encumbrances: Provided, that in lieu of the
certificate of registration a true copy or photostat thereof may be carried in the motor vehicle.

while the same is valid and effective and has not been suspended or revoked, be the authority for the
operation of such motor vehicle.

classification requiring the payment of a larger registration fee than that stated in the certificate of
registration.

to be unsightly, unsafe, overloaded, improperly marked or equipped, or otherwise unfit to be operated,

specifications, the Commissioner may refuse to register the said motor vehicle, or if already registered,
may require the number plates thereof to be surrendered to him, and upon seventy-two hours notice to
the owner of the motor vehicle, suspend such registration until the defects of the vehicle are corrected

Whenever it shall appear from the records of the Commission that during any twelve-month
period more than three warnings for violations of this Act have been given to the owner of a motor
vehicle, or that the said owner has been convicted by a competent court more than once for violation of
such laws, the Commissioner may, in his discretion, suspend the certificate of registration for a period
not exceeding ninety days and, thereupon, shall require the immediate surrender of the number plates.

Whenever a motor vehicle is found to be underweight the owner thereof shall pay the
difference in the registration fees corresponding to the shortage in weight plus a fifty per cent

Suspension, revocation of driver's license.

(a) The Commissioner may suspend for a period not exceeding three months or, after hearing, revoke
any driver's license issued under the provisions of this Act, and may order any such license to be

commission of any crime or act which endangers the public. Any deputy of the Commissioner may, for
the same cause, suspend for a period not exceeding three months any driver's license issued under the
provisions of this Act: Provided, that such suspension may be appealed to the Commissioner who may,
after reviewing the case, confirm, reverse or modify the action taken by such deputy.

the violations of any provisions of this Act or of any regulation issued by the Commissioner or any
municipal or city ordinance relating to motor vehicle traffic not in conflict with any of the provisions of

Module No.2 CDI – Traffic Management and Accident Investigation w/ Driving
(c) The license suspended or revoked under the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall

Act and only after the Commissioner has satisfied himself that such driver may again safely be permitted
to operate a motor vehicle.

(d) A decision of the Commissioner revoking or refusing the reinstatement of a license under the
provisions of this Section may be appealed to the Secretary of Public Works and Communications.

Driver's bond.

under the provisions of the preceding section or of any provisions of this Act, may require such driver to
post a bond in the sum of one thousand pesos conditioned upon the satisfaction and payment of any
claim which may be filed or of any execution which may be issued against such driver in any case
wherein said driver may be held answerable while operating motor vehicles. The bond required in this
section shall be in such form as to render sureties liable at least for a period of not less than one year
nor more than three years: Provided, however, That upon written application to the Commissioner for
release from such a bond, the Commissioner may after revoking or suspending the driver's license,
authorize the release of the bondsmen from further responsibility thereunder: Provided, further, That
should the Commissioner decide not to revoke the license of a driver who has been convicted of
homicide through reckless imprudence, or of the violation of the speed limit or of reckless driving at
least three times within a twelve-month period, the said driver shall post a bond in the sum of not less
than two thousand pesos, conditioned upon the payment of any claim which may be filed or any
execution which may be issued against him in any case wherein said driver may be held answerable
while operating motor vehicles.

Confiscation of driver's licenses.

Law enforcement and peace officers duly designated by the Commissioner shall, in
apprehending any driver for violations of this Act or of any regulations issued pursuant thereto, or of
local traffic rules and regulations, confiscate the license of the driver concerned and issue a receipt
prescribed and issued by the Commission therefor which shall authorize the driver to operate a motor
vehicle for a period not exceeding seventy-two hours from the time and date of issue of said receipt.
The period so fixed in the receipt shall not be extended, and shall become invalid thereafter. Failure of
the driver to settle his case within fifteen days from the date of apprehension will cause suspension and
revocation of his license.

Student-driver's permit.

Upon proper application and the payment of three pesos, the Commissioner or his deputy may
issue student-driver's permits, valid for six months to persons not under eighteen years of age, who
desire to learn to operate motor vehicles. No application for driver's license shall be received unless the
applicant has undergone instruction in the operation of motor vehicles for at least a month and has a
valid student-driver's permit: Provided, however, that any person who has a license to operate vehicles
in other countries may, upon presentation of appropriate evidence of such license, be allowed to pay for
a driver's license without presenting a student driver's permit.
