Citizens must be alert to have their documents verified by LTO

Virgie Torres, head of the Philippine’s Land Transportation Office (LTO) just advised the people to exercise a practical judgment before deciding to purchase cars or motor vehicles.

In this wise, by carefully checking and testing the vehicle’s specification along with its documents, practicality will prevail before making a decision to buy it right away.

With the rise of many fake motor vehicle documents containing the necessary data like registration and LTO stickers, it is therefore needed that the said papers must first be consulted to proper authorities so as to make sure of its validity.

Torres convinces every individual who plans to own a motor vehicle or a car must do a step-by-step verification before accepting the offer given by the dealer.

As a matter of fact,  the LTO head stated that a practical way for every buyer is to go to the LTO and the Highway Patrol Group right away so as to confirm and make sure that any motor vehicle especially cars that are pre-owned are holding a valid right. This is because some of the mentioned papers may have only been falsified or tampered.

Documents that needs a thorough verification are as follows: original copy of the certificate of registration together with the official registration of the motor vehicle, duly notarized deed of absolute sale considering the favor of the buyer, macro-etching clearance taken from the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the dealer’s ID that were verified.

Torres also warns every prospected buyer not to immediately believe on the false hopes offered by those syndicates who might only be selling carjacked vehicles.

Exercising the value of prudence will be able to help the public to avoid being a victim of carjackers in a world where fraud dominates just to acquire money in any sense. Thus, people must be reminded of the rampant existence of carjackers nowadays.

Practicality speaks to help customers refrain from the predators that inconsiderably eat advantages from the citizens who may eventually become their prey. Citizens, if warned, can pull themselves beyond the sweet words of the syndicates in the future.
