๐ฆ HAPPENING NOW | FREE THEORETICAL DRIVING COURSE (TDC) ๐ฆ
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) Pagadian City District Office is currently conducting its FREE Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) for aspiring drivers from various barangays and neighboring municipalities who are taking the first step toward becoming responsible and safety-conscious motorists.
This initiative is part of the continuing road safety and public service programs of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., under the leadership of DOTr Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao, LTO Region IX Regional Director Nordjiana L. Dipatuan-Ducol, DPA, and LTO Pagadian City District Office District Chief Allan E. Macabangkit.
Participants are undergoing the mandatory 15-hour Theoretical Driving Course, a prerequisite for the issuance of a Student Driverโs Permit (SP). The SP allows aspiring drivers to legally practice driving on public roads under the supervision of a duly licensed driver while ensuring they first acquire the knowledge, discipline, and values necessary for safe and responsible driving.
The course covers essential topics, including traffic laws and regulations, road signs and markings, defensive driving techniques, road courtesy, and the rights and responsibilities of every road user. By providing aspiring drivers with a solid foundation before they begin driving, the TDC plays a vital role in preventing road crashes, promoting compliance with traffic laws, and fostering a culture of road safety.
The LTO Pagadian City District Office remains committed to delivering accessible public service and advancing road safety through quality driver education, ensuring that every licensed driver is equipped with the knowledge and responsibility needed to make our roads safer for everyone.
Drive Responsibly. Road Safety Starts with You.
