LTO Region I trains 277 aspiring drivers for free

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Region I provided free theoretical driving instruction to 277 aspiring drivers during a two-day training program held on 7 to 8 November in Pangasinan and Ilocos Sur.

The LTO Rosales District Office trained 102 participants in San Quintin, Pangasinan, while the San Carlos District Office reached 116 participants in Barangay Coliling, San Carlos City.

In Ilocos Sur, 59 participants attended the training at Ilocos Sur National High School in Vigan City, conducted by the LTO San Ildefonso District Office.

The course covered traffic rules and regulations, road signs and markings, road safety principles, and responsible driving practices.

The LTO said the training aims to equip aspiring motorists with the knowledge and understanding of their responsibilities before getting behind the wheel.

The initiative supports the road safety advocacy of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. and was conducted under the guidance of Department of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon and LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao.

LTO Region I Regional Director Glorioso Daniel Z. Martinez and Assistant Regional Director Engr. Eric C. Suriben are leading the office's efforts to expand driver education and promote responsible road use.
