The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has ordered a 90-day preventive suspension of the driver’s license belonging to a female motorist after a viral video showed her sipping what appeared to be wine from a glass while driving.
LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao confirmed Wednesday that the agency issued a show cause order against the woman and the registered owner of the sports car, a Mazda MX-5, compelling them to explain why they should not be held liable for traffic law violations.
The female motorist was also ordered to surrender her driver’s license. A hearing before the LTO’s Intelligence and Investigation Division is scheduled for Friday, 12 December.
The show cause order requires both the driver and the registered owner to submit the original documents for the sports car during the hearing, along with a verified explanation.
