Memorandum Circular 2011-014 Re-SAFETY COMPLIANCE ORDERS dated December 13, 2011 is hereby amended, as follows:

1. If it is shown by an official police report or any other convincing evidence that the accident was due solely to the fault or negligence of the PUV's driver, the operator concerned shall cause all the drivers of his entire fleet to undergo a Road Safety Seminar conducted by any government or private entity accredited by the LTFRB within thirty (30) days from receipt of the safety compliance order; cause all the drivers of the entire fleet to undergo drug testing by a drug testing center duly accredited by the Department of Health and Land Transportation Office, within thirty (30) days from receipt of said order.
   
   
2. If it is shown by an official police report or any other convincing evidence that the accident was caused by mechanical failure or improper vehicle maintenance of the vehicle involved, the operator concerned shall subject the entire fleet for roadworthiness inspection by the LTO-MVIS or any other qualified entity within ten (10) days from receipt of the Safety Compliance Order, and submit among other proofs, a video clipping of such roadworthiness inspection in the presence of a duly authorized representative from the LTO and LTFRB;

The foregoing requirements shall be applicable on a per incident basis regardless of the time lapses from the last previous inspection, seminar or drug test conducted.

Failure to comply strictly with any of the foregoing provisions and/or to submit proofs of compliance therewith shall be sufficient grounds for the suspension or cancellation of the franchise of the operator's entire fleet.

All issuances inconsistent herewith are hereby superseded and amended accordingly.

This Memorandum Circular shall take effect immediately.
