LTO Driver’s Education Center relaunched
By J.Lo
AFTER two (2) years, Land Transportation Office (LTO) has relaunched its Driver’s Education Center (DEC), which will provide training for student drivers who cannot afford regular driving schools. The LTO-National Capital Region West reopened its DEC to provide road safety training for student drivers.
LTO-NCR West Director Roque Verzosa III said center is open to qualified student driver applicants who may not be financially capable of availing themselves of services of regular driving schools.
LTO requires 15-hour theoretical driving course for all student drivers for their license application under Memorandum Circular 2019-2716.
Roque stressed importance of road safety training so that accidents can be avoided, especially by new drivers.
He stressed drivers should be trained to recognize risk and potential consequences and make roads safer for general public.
During relaunch, 15 applicant drivers were able to avail themselves of DEC’s free driving course.
LTO chief Jay Art Tugade said more applicants are expected to enroll at the center as economy reopens.
The center was closed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
