The Land Transportation Office will implement strict enforcement to prevent schemes of fixers in processing driver’s license applications. 

One of the dangerous possibilities of getting involved with a fixer is to be scammed. 

LTO Transportation Officer Jerome Rodriguez cited a case where someone paid ₱3,500.00 to a fixer in exchange for skipping the seminar. 

Drivers who skip these examinations demonstrate an incomplete understanding of traffic laws, which may compromise public safety.

Rodriguez emphasizes that LTO has repeatedly warned applicants not to deal with fixers; but some drivers still admit they gave money to someone.

“We reiterate several times ang dami pang nakapaskil na huwag makipag-connive outside and then doon umaamin yung mga driver na Sir nagbigay ako ng ganito kay ganyan, so technically wala kaming alam kung sino yung tao na iyon.” he said

“We reiterate several times, and many posted notices about not to connive outside,e and then the driver will admit, “Sir, I gave money to this person, and such, so technically we have no idea who that person is.”

The LTO will ensure that applicants will not skip theoretical and practical exams during the driver’s license applications.
