    LTO clarifies ban on plate covers, holders and related accessories
    posted July 02, 2014 13:47

    Well now it's as clear as day.
    The Land Transportation Office in a report by ABS-CBN clarified the ban on any kind of accessories attached in any way to the license plates of vehicles.

    Referring back to Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01 by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) which oversees the Land Transportation Office, Section II-e makes it clear that plate-related accessories are banned.



    The blanket nature of the wording of Section II-e appears to cover anything that is attached to the license plate that was not authorized by the LTO, meaning third party accessories. This includes plate holders of any kind, plate covers or any other kind of accessory that “impedes in any way the visibility or reflectivity of the authorized motor vehicle license plate and/or the third plate sticker”.

    The LTO also clarified that even clear plastic or glass plate covers are banned, along with any device like tilting plate holders or even brackets that in any way cover a part of the plate itself.

    The fine for any violation of JAO 2014-01 Sec. II-e calls for a fine of PhP 5,000 and confiscation of said accessories on the spot.
