Drivers and operators of PUVs should expect a regular road worthiness inspection in their terminals after Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief Vigor Mendoza II has vowed to conduct surprise visits to ensure the safety of road users.
The conduct of road worthiness inspections are usually done in the bus terminals during long weekends that include Christmas and Holy Week when thousands of people flocked to the bus terminals for a trip to their hometowns.
In doing so, Mendoza said he wants to send a message to drivers and commuters that ensuring their safety is an everyday obligation of the agency. On Saturday, Mendoza inspected buses at the Araneta Center bus terminal in Cubao, Quezon City where he also discussed with the drivers the need to regularly check the road worthiness of their vehicles.
Under Rule IV of the said law, the LTO shall conduct random terminal inspections and quick random drug tests of public utility drivers.
