THEORITICAL DRIVING COURSE

Lesson 1.1 Registration and Renewal of Vehicles

Concept

Republic Act 4136, mandates that all motor vehicles shall be

registered by each owner before the designated District Offices of the
Land Transformation Office. Law enforcement officers should keep
themselves abreast with the proper procedures of registering motor
vehicles for them to easily identify unregistered motor vehicles or
motor vehicles having expired registration.

On the other hand, motor vehicle owners as well as the drivers

should be aware of the provisions on motor vehicle registration to avoid
unnecessary delays and penalties whenever registration- related
apprehensions occur. Again, for complete information see the appended
R.A. 4136.

A. Classification of Registered Motor Vehicles

1. Private (Not fire hire) These are motor vehicle used for the
personal use of their owners.

2. Public Utility vehicle- (PUV a.k.a. for hire)- These are registered
primarily for the conveyance of passengers and other
commercial goods, i.e., passenger jeepneys, taxi cabs, etc.
3. Government- These are motor vehicle owned by government
offices and are used for official purposes only.

4. Diplomat- These are issued to foreign diplomats and consul

assigned in the Philippines.

5. Plate Numbers
1. Private or not for hire Mvs- (Green with white background

 Lesson 2.2 Driver’s License and Renewal

Concept

Driving a motor vehicle in the Philippines as in other countries is

NOT a right but a privilege granted by the Philippine Government
through the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Republic Act 4136 and
Batas Pambansa Bilang 398. Further, it is a privilege which may be
suspended or revoked.

Driver License- A document issued to a qualified driver who possesses

the statutory qualification as provided, therefore.

A. Duty to Procure License. Sec 19 of R.A. 4136 states that no

person shall operate any motor vehicle without first procuring a
license to drive for the current year. To be effective in the hands
of its holder, it must not be delinquent, invalid, suspended or
revoked and should be carried at all times and shall be shown or
surrendered for cause when demanded by a person authorized
by RA 4136 to inspect the same.

B. Confiscation of Driver’s License – Sec. 29 of R.A. 4136

mandates that a driver’s license may be confiscated for violations
of RA 4136, the rules and regulations issued by the
commissioner and of local traffic rules and regulation.

When a driver license is confiscated for a reason, the traffic

enforcer must, however, issue a receipt (Temporary operators
Permit (TOP)) which is good for 72 hours within which the
driver may continue to operate his vehicle. Failure to settle the
case within 15 days will cause suspension or revocation of the
license.

C. Type of Licenses Procedures and Requirements.

1. International Driver’s License- Bonafide tourists and

transients who are duly licensed to operate motor vehicles in
their respective countries may be allowed to operate vehicles
during their stay but not beyond 90 days of their sojourn in
the Philippines. After Ninety days, any Tourist or transient
desiring to operate motor vehicles shall pay fees and obtain
and carry a license as provided in Sec. 21 of R.A. 4136

2. Military Driver’s License- Enlisted personnel of the AFP

operating motor vehicles owned by the government shall be
license in accordance with RA 4136 but no license or
delinquency fees shall be collected thereof.

All license so issued shall bear the words ‘’FOR

GOVERNMENT VEHICLES ONLY’’ plainly marked or stamped
in red inks across the face.

A Military driver’s License does not authorize the holder to

operate a privately-owned motor vehicle (Sec. 20, R.A.4136).

3. Professional Driver’s License. This license is issued to

driver hired or paid for driving or operating a motor vehicle
whether private use or for hire to the public. The word
‘’professional license’’ is red-highlighted.
Any person driving his own motor vehicle for hire is a
professional driver.
4 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )
 4. Non- Professional Driver’s License. This kind of license is
issued to owners of privately-owned motor vehicles or those
not for hire or paid for driving. The word ‘’Non-professional’’
is green-highlighted.

5. Student Driver’s Permit. This kind of document is issued to

person who desire to learn how to drive. A student driver
cannot operate a vehicle unless accompanied by an instructor
who may either be a license professional or non-professional
driver (sec. R.A. 4136)

D. VALIDITY or Expiration of License

1. Student driver’s permit- 12 months or one year

2. Non-professional and Professional Driver’s Licenses and
Conductor’s License- 5 years as per R.A. 10930 and LTO
Administrative Order 2016-034

E. Drivers Examination.
1. The Written Examination.
a. Non- Professional License- 40 questions
b. Professional License- 60 questions
c. Non- Professional- 30 passing out of 40 questions.
d. Professional- 45 passing out of 60 questions.

2. The Road Test- The actual road test will be undertaken

under the auspices of a ‘’DRIVING SKILL RATER’’.
The road score sheet is about 100 points, and the passing
grade will be 70 points or a total possible deduction of 30
points.

F. Mandatory Drug Test- It is mandatory to all driver’s license

applicants except for student driver’s permit to pass a drug test
conducted by duly LTO accredited drugs testing centers.

Note:

Under Republic Act 10930 AN ‘’ACT RATIONALIZING AND

STRENGTHENING THE POLICY REGARDING DRIVER'S LICENSE BY
EXTENDING THE VALIDITY PERIOD OF DRIVERS' LICENSES, AND
PENALIZING ACTS IN VIOLATION OF ITS ISSUANCE AND APPLICATION
AMENDING FOR THOSE PURPOSES SECTION 23 OF REPUBLIC ACT
NO. 4136, AS AMENDED BY BATAS PAMBANSA BLG. 398 AND
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 1011, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE LAND
TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC CODE’’

Under Republic Act 10930, Driver's license holders without

recorded traffic violations will be granted licenses valid for 10
years. On the other hand, drivers with recorded traffic violations will be
issued licenses with only a five-year validity.

Under Republic Act 10930, prospective drivers must first pass the
Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) and Practical Driving Course (PDC)
from an LTO-accredited driving school before they can apply for a
driver’s license.

 Lesson 3.3 TRAFFIC SIGNS

Concept:

Traffic Signs, like traffic signals lights and road markings are used to
convey quickly and accurately the wide range of information needed by
a road user, particularly vehicle drivers, and to promote a safe and
efficient use of the road systems.

Traffic signs refer to any device mounted on portable support

whereby a message is conveyed by means of words or symbols officially
installed for the purpose of regulating, warning, or guiding traffic.

Standardization of traffic signs shall conform to the standards set

forth in the erection and display of standard road signs and markers as
prescribed by the DPWH as to shape, color, dimension, shape, size,
height, lettering or symbols.

Traffic signs shall be installed only under public authority or by the

officials having jurisdiction for that purpose, and it shall not bear any
commercial advertisement.

A thorough knowledge of traffic signs, signals and road pavement

markings is necessary to all drivers. Every motorist must be able to
recognize and obey them without hesitation even with the absence of
traffic police officers.

Traffic Signs in The Philippines

1. Regulatory Signs- These are signs which impose legal restrictions
applicable at particular location usually enforceable in the absence
of such signs.

Purpose
a. Is to inform the road users of certain laws and regulations.
b. Special obligations, instructions, or prohibitions which they must
comply with and violations of which constitute misdemeanor.

2. Warning Signs- These signs are also known as ‘’ Caution signs’’

These signs have an equilateral triangular shape with one side
horizontal and having red borders or are danger warning signs.
These are signs intended to:
a. Warn motorist of approaching hazardous road conditions,
b. Seek cautions for the approaching hazards and
c. Call the reduction of speed.

3. Guide Signs or Informative Signs- These signs are also known as a

‘’guide signs’’, or ‘’directions signs’’.
This rectangular shape white-colored on blue background is used for
informative signs. Informative signs are intended to:

a. Guide motorist along established routes,

b. Inform the motorist of the proper roads, and
c. Help motorists along the way in the most simple and direct
method.

4. Signs for Expressways- these signs have reflectorized white legend

on reflectorized green background so that they are visible at night,
these signs are able to be installed in advance or at the nearest
intersection or interchange leading to the expressways.

6 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 5. Traffic Instruction Signs- These signs is special instruction used at
locations where ordinary guide and regulatory signs do not achieve
the desired result. These signs instruct the motorist to follow a
direction or to obey a course of action. These signs are normally not
regulatory signs but are used in conjunction with regulatory or
warning signs to form a standard treatment and to support the
operation of traffic rules. Some of these are exclusively used on
expressways.

6. Hazards Markers- these sections cover the standard forms of

hazard markers. The hazard marker used for road works are not
included in this chapter. They are separately provided in the road
works safety Manual of DPWH. Hazard Makers is used to emphasize
to the approaching driver a marked change in the direction of travel
and the presence of an obstruction. They are rectangular and
generally consist of a series of alternate black and white bands. The
white portion is always reflectorized. The bands may consist of
either diagonal strips where only a target is required or of chevron
where directional, as well as target, properties are desirable.

Lesson 4.4 TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS AND OTHER CONTROL

DEVICES

Concept

Traffic Lights- These refer to any power operated traffic control

device by which traffic is warned or directed to take some specific
actions. Traffic light signals are used to control traffic at junctions and
also to stop traffic to provide safe crossing points for pedestrians and
cyclists.

The colors of traffic lights are chronologically arranged to give motorist

better view of signals lights. From the Top, the series of color red,
yellow, and green. If there is a left or right arrow, the color alternates
from green, yellow to red and is usually installed at the left said of the
green, yellow, and red lights.

RED For ‘’Stop’’

Amber/Yellow for’’ precautionary or caution/yield’’
Green for ‘’Go’’

OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES

The improvements in traffic caused various complexities in traffic
control and traffic direction. The previous standard traffic control
devices have their limits or weaknesses. In this regard, traffic managers
conceived new or additional control devices and aids.

7 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 A. Median Barriers- These are usually movable concrete or hard
plastics with/without water inside installed on divided highway
with narrow medians to prevent head-on collision of vehicles
and to restrict, the pedestrians from crossing at any section of
the road.

B. Guard Rails- These are safety devices installed at the roadside

to protect vehicles, which run out of control from following steep
slopes or hitting fixed objects.

C. Gantries- These are usually made of light metals installed

overhead on highways in which other devices and aids are also
attached.

8 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 D. Reflectorized Markers (Cats Eye) and Solar Markers- These
are markers installed along the curb lines and on the division
lines providing reflections during the night and when visibility is
very low.

E. Traffic Bollards- These are upright metals, wood, plastics or any

other hard materials installed along side streets and on parking
areas to limit the movement of motor vehicles.

F. Early Warning Devices- A triangular-shaped reflectorized

device used to warning or inform motorist about an emergency
stalled or parked motor vehicle.

9 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 G. Traffic Cones- These are usually made of plastic materials, or
any lightweight materials used as a part replacement or aid to
early warning devices.

H. Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV)- These devices could assist

traffic enforcers and managers monitor usual and unusual traffic
occurrences. CCTVs are also valuable in the detection,
identification, and apprehension of traffic law violators so the
visible presence of these devices provide general deterrence.

I. Weighbridges- These are either installed permanently on the

road pavement located at the entrances of main thoroughfares or
some of these are movable. Weighbridges are used to monitor
overloading or exceeding load limits of motor vehicles,
particularly cargo trucks.

 LESSON 5.5 PAVEMENT MARKINGS

Concept

Pavement Markings. The pavements of all main highways have a

certain marking to help you drive safety. Those include the center lane
lines, barrier lines, and directional arrows, depending upon the type of
highway and the needs for such markings to make the road safe under
varying conditions.

The land Transportation Office (LTO) termed all markings on the

roadway as pavement markings (LTO Road Traffic Signs). These pertain
to all lines, patterns, words, colors, or other gadgets except sign set into
the surface or applied upon or attached to the pavement or curving or
to objects within or adjacent to the roadway, officially placed for the
purpose of regulating, warning or guiding traffic.

About the terms of DPWH, pavement markings are also called ‘’Road
Markers’’ which means to guide or warn the road users.

On the other hand, in the United Convention on road signs and signals,
markings on road surface are called either ‘’ road surface markings,
‘’carriageway markings’’ or ‘’ road markings’’. (DPWH, 2012, & Article
United Nation Convention on road signs and signals UNCRSS, 1968)

Purposely, pavements markings are placed on the roadway to convey

warming or information to the road users without diverting his
attention from the roadway under favorable conditions.

Knowledge of the purpose and use of each type of markings is

important for motorist to drive safety. Intentionally or by ignorance to
observe the lines cab prove disastrous.

TYPES OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS

1. Pavement and Curb Markings- These are the lines usually

white and yellow or a combination of yellow and white officially
set on the roadway as separation for motor vehicles traveling in
the opposite direction or the same direction in case of two-lane
one-way street, two-lane two-way street, or four lanes two-way
street.

Examples

a. Longitudinal Lines- these are markings laid on road pavement

in the direction of travel which include center line
(separation/barrier lines); lane line; ‘’no trespassing zone’’ zone
markings; pavement edge line; continuity lines; and Transition
lines.

1. Center lines or Separation Lines (a.k.a. barrier lines)

This is used to separate opposite traffic movements of an undivided

roadway and is generally placed centrally on all roads and bridges 6.0m
or in width. Under some circumstances this line may be placed off-
center. Center or separation lines are either dotted or broken,
continuous or solid, solid with broken (dotted), broken line with
passing lane.

11 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 a. Single White Dotted Line. This pavement marking indicates the
following:

On two-lane road, - it separates traffic moving in opposite

directions.

On a one-way street, - separates traffic moving in one direction.

Overtaking is possible when the other lane is clear of

oncoming possible.

Note: See figure 28

12 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 b. Single white continuous line in a two-lane traffic way. This
line indicates the following:

1. Separates traffic moving in opposite direction (see figure

28a).
2. Could be found in road sections that are dangerous.
3. Passing and overtaking can be made but only under
circumstances when there is no oncoming traffic.

c. Single continuous line on a four-lane road. This sign when

found on four-lane streets, indicates:

1. When there are slow and fast lanes, never overtake by

passing over the solid white line (see figure 29).
2. Lanes 1&4 (outer lanes or right lanes) for slow moving
vehicles on this lane should not be below the minimum speed
limit.
3. Lanes 2&3 (inner lanes or left lanes) are usually for faster
moving vehicles.

13 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 d. Double yellow line. The two continuous solid lines are
separated by a single white dotted or broken line (see figure 30).
This type of pavement markings means:

1. ABSOLUTELY NO OVERTAKING.
2. Overtaking is extremely dangerous.
3. Stay in lane until you pass the end of the solid lines.

e. Single yellow/white line. A yellow or white line with a dotted

white line means (see figure 31)

1. That you cannot overtake if the solid line is on your side.

2. If you overtake, return to your lane before the solid line.

f. A yellow continuous line on road provided with a passing

lane (Climbing Lane). This line indicates the following (see
figure 32):

1. These are common on mountain roads.

2. Slow moving vehicles such as buses and
3. Heavy trucks should always use the outer lane (lane 3).
4. Inner lane (lane 2) is for vehicles to pass without having to
use the other lane (lane 1) for vehicles coming from the
opposite direction.
5. Vehicles coming from the opposite direction (lane 1) should
not use the inner lane (lane 2) on the other side for
overtaking.

14 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 3. Lane line – A lane line is used to separate adjacent lanes of
traffic moving in the same direction (Figure 29 & 33).

4. ‘’No passing Zone’’ Zone Markings- “No passing Zone’’

pertain to areas on the road that prohibited passing or
overtaking another motor vehicle because the driver’s vision
is obstructed such as in blind curves (horizontal curve, figure
34) and uphill road portions (vertical curve, figure 35). ‘’ No
passing zone’ is marked by continuous line with a broken line
or if passing is extremely hazardous, the area is delineated
with double solid (continuous) lines.

15 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 5. Pavements Edge Line or Edge Line or Curb line- This line
is used to delineate or demarcate the roadway or white or
yellow line (see figure 29-32). The presence of edge or curb
line also prohibits parking on both sides of the roadway (fig.
36) while absence of curb line or edge line allows parking
either on one side or both sides of the roadway (fig. 37).

6. Transition lines- These are used to guide traffic safety past

obstructions or roadway such as islands, media strips, bridge
piers or indicate changes in width of traveled portion of the
roadway and an increase or reduction in traffic lanes. Lane,
edge, separation, or continuity lines may be used as
transition lines whichever is appropriate. Transition lines are
also called barrel lines. (See figure 39).

7. Crosswalk or pedestrian lane- This pavement marking

indicates the following (See figure 43): for pedestrians to
cross.
1. Stop for pedestrians at an intersection with no traffic light.
2. Do not stop on pedestrian lanes, especially to load or unload
passengers.
3. Pedestrians should always cross a street on a crosswalk.

16 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 8. Other lines- these are road markings painted on the road
pavement delineating restrictions and regulations and
additional guidance to road users. These are turn lines,
parking bay lines, painted median, bus and PUJ lane line,
loading and unloading bay lane line, and do not block
intersection lines.

1. Turn lines- A turn line may be used to guide vehicles

through a turning movement at intersections.

2. Parking Bay Lines- This refers to lines where parking is

permitted which are either parallel parking or angle
parking (See Figures 46a, 46b, & 46c). Angle parking is
provided when there is sufficient space on the roadway.
The right-angle parking is rarely applied on public roads.

17 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 3. Painted Median- These are used on wide roads where
light traffic volume cannot justify the installation of solid
curved median island. (See figure 47 is the example of
painted median)

4. Bus and PUJ lane line- this line is an unbroken yellow line
used to separate other vehicles from buses and PUJ’s. This
road markings can be supplemented by raised pavement
markers on concrete pavements. The line is tapered at the
approach to signalized intersection (see figure 48) and is
copied and pasted from DPWH 2012 manual.

18 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 5. Loading and unloading bay lane lines- These are
unbroken white line to indicate the proper location of
loading and unloading zone for public utility vehicles
preferably with parking restriction. These lines can be
supplemented by road signs.

6. Do not block intersection lines- These lines consist of

yellow box within the intersection and yellow diagonals
lines forming an X inside the box. See the DO NOT BLOCK
INTERSECTION sign.

7. Other markings. These markings include approach

Markings to islands obstruction, diagonal Markings and
rumble strips.

1. Approach Marking on an island and obstruction- these

lines are diagonal markings on approaches to obstructions
and median islands and located on the right side or to both
sides of the approach end of the obstruction. (See pictures
below approach Marking on an Island).

19 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 2. Diagonal Markings- These are placed on sealed shoulder
or other sealed portion of the road where traffic is not
desired (DPWH, 2012). (see attachment below Diagonal
markings on a shield lane).

3. Rumble Strips- It is a type of thermoplastic lane marking

designed to aid and provide motorist with visual, audio and
motion warnings on the road. These strips are highly visible
horizontal lines on the road that produce a humming sound
and ample bumpy ride to the motorists when ran over. It
promotes better traffic safety because it stimulates more the
human senses while driving. See example rumble strips
markings below.

G. SPEED LIMITS and other rules on Speed

1. Maximum Allowable Speed. (Under Chapter IV, Sec. 35, para b

of RA4136)

20 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )

 2. Exceptional to the speed limit
a. A physician or his driver when the former responds to
emergency calls.
b. The driver of a hospital ambulance on the way to and from
the place of accident or another emergency.
c. Any driver bringing a wounded or sick person for emergency
treatment to a hospital, clinic, or any other similar place.
d. The driver of a motor vehicle belonging to the Armed Forces
while in the use for official purposes in times of riot,
insurrection, or invasion.
e. The driver of a vehicle when he or his passengers are in
pursuit of a criminal.
f. A law-enforcement officer who is trying to overtake a
violator of traffic laws.
g. The driver officially operating a motor vehicle of any fir
department, provided that exemption shall not be construed
to allow useless or unnecessary fast driving of drivers
aforementioned.

H. REVIEW CONCEPT

Lessons- A. Registration and renewal of motor vehicles-

In terms of registration and renewal of vehicles the owners are obliged

to renew their registration of motor vehicles as per what the date of
expiry indicated at the registration to avoid unnecessary delays and the
penalties.

B. Driver’s License-

The driver’s License is a privilege which issue by the Land

Transportation Office (LTO) qualified driver which posses the statutory
examinations of every applicant.

C. Traffic Signs, Traffic Lights and other control devices-

21 | P a g e CDI-4 TMAAIWD Legal Provisions and Management (Prelim) (M o d u l e N o . 1 )
 a. Traffic Signs- refers to any devices mounted on portable
support whereby a message is conveyed by means of
words of symbols officially installed for the purpose of
regulating, warning, or guiding traffic.

In short traffic signs are installed to serve the following function.

1.To control traffic

2. To safeguard the flow

of traffic

3. to expedite traffic; and

4. to guide traffic and

motorist

b. Traffic Lights and other control devices

These refers to any power operated traffic control device by which

traffic is warned or directed to take some specific actions. Traffic lights
and other devices were first introduced on railway- the American
railroads. The choice of their colors was internationally adopted and
was not arbitrary which resulted as traditions, careful consideration,
and experience to many places around the world.
