chassis number, body tag number, plate number, and any other
identifying marks of a motor vehicle declared as “total wreck” or is

law enforcement agencies after its involvement in a vehicular accident or
other incident and registers the same into another factory-made body or
vehicle unit, of the same classification, type, make or model;
(e) Motor vehicle refers to any vehicle propelled by any power other than
muscular power using the public highways, except road rollers, trolley
cars, street sweepers, sprinklers, lawn mowers, bulldozers, graders,
forklifts, amphibian trucks, and cranes if not used on public highways;
vehicles which run only on rails or tracks; and tractors, trailers and
traction engines of all kinds used exclusively for agricultural purposes.
Trailers having any number of wheels, when propelled or intended to be

of a vehicle plate issued by the LTO to a certain vehicle to another
