THE Supreme Court has declared constitutional the orders issued by Department of Transportation and the Land Transportation Office imposing higher fines against operators of “colorum” vehicles and erring drivers.
It also imposes fines of P1,500 for driving without license; P400 for driving with an expired license; P2,000 for possessing a fake driver’s license; P3,000 for conviction for a crime perpetrated with the use of a motor vehicle; and P6,000 for driving a public utility vehicle out of line. However, the SC declared, “To aggravate the already pernicious nature of the roads is the proliferation of colorum vehicles. As their continued conduct absent requisite authority immeasurably endanger the lives of the riding public, it is necessary for the State, pursuant to its police power devolving unto the DOTC [now Department of Transportation or DOTr] and its agencies, to place reasonable restrictions in the form of higher fees and stricter penalties upon the operation of motor vehicles.
They named the Department of now DOTr, Land Transportation Office and Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board as respondents.
