LTO should ban excessively bright headlights

ALL INSIGHT

THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) posted on its Facebook page on May 10, 2026, that it issued a show-cause order (SCO) against the registered owner and driver of a Toyota Hilux that was caught using unauthorized rear auxiliary lamps, which allegedly posed a danger to other motorists due to their excessive brightness.

It added that, based on a viral video circulating on social media, the vehicle could be seen traveling at night while using rear auxiliary lamps that emit intense light. It was also observed that the auxiliary lamps lit up simultaneously whenever the vehicle braked, causing a strong glare and visual obstruction for motorists behind it.
