LESSON 13
REQUIRED MOTOR ACCESSORIES
1. Tires
Motor vehicles having metallic tires
are prohibited from operating on
any public highway. If the tires are
solid, it should be thick enough to
present the metal rims from
touching the roads.
Brake
Every motor vehicle with four (4) or
more wheels shall be provided with dual
hydraulic brake system so that in case
of hydraulic line failure affecting the
braking efficiency of any of the four (4)
wheels at least either the front or rear
wheels shall retain normal braking
capabilities.
Horns
Every motor vehicle shall be provided
with a horn or signaling device in
good order. Provided, however, that
no horn or signaling device emitting
exceptionally loud, startling, or
disagreeable sound shall be installed
or used on any motor vehicle.
Headlight
The vehicle should have two (2) headlights, one
on each side, which must be dimmed when
meeting another vehicle.
Tail Lights
installed at the rear portion of the vehicle, this should be
visible at least 100 meters away.
Stop Lights
installed also at the vehicle’s rear.
Windshield Wiper
Every motor vehicle shall be
equipped mechanically or
electrically operated device for
wiping off raindrops or other
moisture from its windshield.
Mufflers
Every motor vehicle propelled by an internal
combustion engine shall be equipped with a muffler,
and whenever said motor vehicle passes through a
street of any city, municipality, or thickly populated
district or barrio, the muffler shall not be cut out or
disconnected. No motor vehicle shall be operated in
such a manner as to cause it to emit or make any
unnecessary or disagreeable odor, smoke or noise.
RIGHT OF WAY
It’s basically who has the right

to go first at an intersection,
when merging lanes, or when
coming across a pedestrian
lane as defined by the law.
More importantly, it’s about
giving way to the other party
as a sense of courtesy and a
practice of road safety.
WHEN DO YOU GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY?
Arriving at an intersection
Crossing an intersection without any working stop light or traffic enforcer can be
tricky. Here’s how you should cross an intersection safely according to the law:
when you’re arriving at an intersection, always remember that you must give way
to vehicles inside the crossroad or yellow box.
In the instance you arrive at an intersection at the same time with another car, the
vehicle on your right hand side will have the right of way. You should allow cars
turning left across the lanes to go first, provided that the driver is visibly signalling
its intention to turn. However, if the other driver is driving at an “unlawful speed”
then their “right of way” is void.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
RIGHT OF WAY
Driving in a heavily populated area such as a

residential or business area can be challenging
considering the pedestrians. Luckily, the law can
guide us how to traverse these areas safely with the
help of the right of way.
RA No. 4136, Article III, Section 42 (c) states that the
driver of any vehicle must yield the right of way to a
pedestrian crossing any road as long as they are
within a crosswalk. That’s unless there’s a traffic
enforcer or traffic signal in place then the movement
of traffic will be determined by the enforcer or stop
light. Pedestrians crossing elsewhere, on the other
hand, will have to give the right of way to the
vehicle.
RAILROAD CROSSING
RIGHT OF WAY
It goes without saying that going

through a railroad crossing a la The Fast
and the Furious is reckless and
dangerous to yourself and others. The
law says that drivers should bring their
vehicles to a full stop before crossing or
drive at a slow pace of 8 km/H if there are
no hazards.
POLICE AND OTHER EMERGENCY VEHICLES
RIGHT OF WAY AMBULANCE EMERGENCY VEHICLE
Upon the approach of emergency

vehicles such as police cars, ambulances,
and fire trucks when on official duty and
giving an audible sound (e.g. siren and
horn), drivers must immediately (yet
safely) drive towards the side of the road
and remain stopped to allow it to pass.
Vehicles shall remain stationary until the
emergency vehicle has passed.
ARTICLE IV
TURNING AND PARKING
SECTION 45. Turning at Intersections. – (a) The driver of a vehicle intending to run
to the right at an intersection shall approach such intersection in the lane for
traffic nearest to the right-hand side of the highway and, in turning, shall keep as
close as possible to the right-hand curb or edge of the highway.
(b) The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left shall approach such
intersection in the lane for traffic to the right of and nearest to the center line of
the highway, and, in turning, shall pass to the left of the center of the intersection,
except that, upon highways laned for traffic and upon one-way highways, a left
turn shall be made from the left lane of traffic in the direction in which the vehicle
is proceeding.
ARTICLE IV
TURNING AND PARKING
(c) For the purpose of this section, the center of the

intersection shall mean the meeting point of the
medial lines of the highways intersecting one
another, except when it is occupied by a
monument, grass plot or any permanent structure,
other than a traffic control device.
ARTICLE IV
TURNING AND PARKING
SECTION 46. Parking Prohibited in Specified Places. – No driver shall park a vehicle, or permit it to stand,
whether attended or unattended, upon a highway in any of the following places:
(a) Within an intersection.
(b) On a crosswalk.
(c) Within six meters of the intersection of curb lines.
(d) Within four meters of the driveway entrance to and fire station.
(e) Within four meters of a fire hydrant.
