Vehicles & Servicing New motorcycle registration? 6 months still waiting..

Exactly. All I do is the smoke test and insurance. (which is worthless anyway). Numberplates ? I dont care anymore. I went a few times to the dealership and LTO. I got my motorbike 2.5 years ago and still no number plates. My bike is registered. Enough for me. Accident ? As Rye 83 says.

Everyone that has bought a bike from DU EK Sam has gotten their CR and OR in 3 to 4 months. What is GUD doing to it's customers??

 

Very cheap to get better insurance than the LTO crap, though I have no experience if it's cover if an accident happens. Personal I will never drive any vehicle without legal papers, I don't care about numberplates as long the paperwork is done and I drive legal

 

Presumably then you have no insurance either, if a passenger on / in your vehicle sufferred serious injury you would pay up whatever the cost / whoever was at fault? For however long?

 

Having an accident is not related to having official metal plates. You are still legally registered and insured in a useless but mandatory plan. I usually let my Filipina wife drive due to the problems when a foreigner is involved. However, if I were driving and somebody got hurt while rear-ending me (as an example of it not being my fault), I would not follow the advice to pay medical bills etc. unless a court determined it to be my fault. I would get an attorney. I don’t care if it costs me more. Sometimes ‘principle’ is more important than money and no, the system is not so corrupt that the foreigner doesn’t have a chance. If the case went to court, I’m not sure what the plaintiffs would pay but as defendant I would probably pay about 50K for legal costs. No question, I would pay it, just as I did in an unrelated unjust situation where I paid and won.

This is the original poster. I finally did get a copy of the OR/CR in April.
