Scrap the entire LTO

CONTROVERSIES involving the Land Transportation Office emerge with such frequency these days we can hardly keep up with them.

After the agency demonstrated its inability to provide proper driver’s license cards and number plates for vehicles, and came up with rules of questionable sanity such as the “no plate, no travel” edict and imposing obnoxious fines on motorists who did not use the agency-issued “special” license plate attaching screws (which many vehicle owners found unusable), now serious questions have been raised about the propriety and proper function of its third-party liability, or TPL, insurance program.
