Paragraph 8 of said article provides for the punishment of any person who attempts to operate a motor vehicle without having procured a license. The punishment for violation of said law is a fine of not less than P25 nor more than P200 for each offense, provided that if the vehicle so operated is for let or hire the penalty shall be a fine of not less than P25 nor more than P200, or imprisonment of not less than ten days nor more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court for each offense.chanroblesvirtualawlibrary chanrobles virtual law library
