The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) against a vlogger who deliberately entered the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) on a motorcycle that is not allowed on the expressway.
According to the LTO, the vlogger, who is from Quezon City, uploaded a video on social media showing him entering the expressway on a 250cc motorcycle, despite knowing that motorcycles under 400cc are strictly prohibited on the expressway.
LTO said the vlogger’s actions were not only irresponsible but also dangerous, as it may have endangered not only his life but also the lives of other motorists on the expressway.
LTO chief Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II condemned the vlogger’s actions, saying it was a clear disregard for the rules and regulations of the expressway, which are in place for the safety of all motorists.
The SCO, signed by Renante Melitante, head of the LTO-Intelligence and Investigation Division, directs the vlogger to show cause in writing why he should not be administratively charged for disregarding traffic signs, reckless driving, and why his driver’s license should not be suspended or revoked.
The vlogger has been ordered to appear before the LTO Intelligence and Investigation Division on September 16, 2024 and bring all registration documents of the motorcycle.
LTO has also placed the vlogger’s driver’s license and the motorcycle under alarm, pending the result of the investigation.
The incident has triggered outrage on social media, with many netizens calling for the vlogger to be held accountable for his actions.
