Tolentino made the advise after more than 160 motorists were apprehended for reckless driving, which carries a fine of P1,200, as provided under DoTC-Center for Transport and Traffic Management (CTTM) Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 26, Series of 1998, and Republic Act 4136 or the Land Transportation Code of the Philippines.

CTTM is the former name of the Traffic Discipline Office (TDO), the traffic management arm of the MMDA.

“Night driving without headlights is dangerous. We have to remind the public that it is prohibited under the law, for everybody’s safety,” Tolentino said.
