THE Land Transportation Office announced it has scrapped the periodic medical examinations for holders of driver’s licenses with 5-year and 10-year validity.
Before the memorandum circular was released, 5-year license holders are required to secure medical clearances during the third birthdate from license issuance. Those with 10-year licenses, on the other hand, are scheduled for medical examination on the fourth and seventh birthdates from the issuance of their license.
“There’s no empirical data showing that periodic medical examinations could prevent road crashes,” he said. “For motorists who will be issued driver’s licenses with 5 or 10 years validity, the medical examination shall only be required sixty days prior to or on the specified renewal date,” he said.
