Philippines LTO Driver's License Exam — All Questions
4 questions
Under the Philippine Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act, a common blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit cited for a private, non-professional driver of a car is about:
- a.0.15%
- b.0.00%
- c.0.10%
- d.0.05%✓
The Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act (RA 10586) is widely cited as setting a BAC limit around 0.05% for non-professional drivers of light vehicles. The safest choice is never to drink and drive. Verify the current figure with the LTO.
For professional (for-hire / public utility) drivers, the alcohol rule is best summarized as:
- a.No limit while on duty
- b.Same generous limit as private drivers
- c.Allowed one drink per hour
- d.Effectively zero tolerance, far stricter than for private drivers✓
Professional and for-hire drivers are held to a much stricter, effectively zero-tolerance alcohol standard because they carry public responsibility. When in doubt, do not drink at all before driving. Confirm details with the LTO.
Before a first-time applicant can be issued a non-professional driver's license, they normally must first hold and practice under a:
- a.Student driver's permit✓
- b.Professional license
- c.Vehicle registration only
- d.Conductor's permit
New drivers usually begin with a student driver's permit, practicing with a qualified licensed driver, before qualifying for a non-professional license. Verify the current process with the LTO.
A driver lawfully asked by an enforcer to take a breath (sobriety) test after signs of impairment should know that:
- a.Alcohol only matters after a crash
- b.Refusing carries no consequence
- c.Refusing a lawful test is itself an offense with penalties✓
- d.The test is only for trucks
Refusing a lawful sobriety or breath test is treated as an offense in its own right and carries penalties. The safest and simplest rule is to never drink and drive. Verify current enforcement with the LTO.
