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.0.00%
- b.0.05%✓
- c.0.10%
- d.0.15%
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 summarised as:
- a.Effectively zero tolerance, far stricter than for private drivers✓
- b.Same generous limit as private drivers
- c.No limit while on duty
- d.Allowed one drink per hour
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 licence, they normally must first hold and practise under a:
- a.Professional licence
- b.Conductor's permit
- c.Student driver's permit✓
- d.Vehicle registration only
New drivers usually begin with a student driver's permit, practising with a qualified licensed driver, before qualifying for a non-professional licence. 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.Refusing carries no consequence
- b.The test is only for trucks
- c.Alcohol only matters after a crash
- d.Refusing a lawful test is itself an offence with penalties✓
Refusing a lawful sobriety or breath test is treated as an offence in its own right and carries penalties. The safest and simplest rule is to never drink and drive. Verify current enforcement with the LTO.
