LTO Suspends License After Dangerous Motorcycle Stunt
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the license of a moto vlogger following a viral video showing him standing and dancing on his motorcycle while stopped in traffic. This reckless behavior on a public road has raised serious safety concerns among authorities and motorists alike.
Officials reported that the incident occurred in full view of other drivers and pedestrians, highlighting the rider’s blatant disregard for road safety. The LTO issued a show cause order demanding that the rider surrender his license by August 20 to face a formal hearing.
Show Cause Order and Possible License Revocation
According to the LTO, the moto vlogger must provide a written explanation justifying why he should not be deemed unfit to operate a motor vehicle. The maximum penalty for such violations is the revocation of the driver’s license. “The rider was asked to explain in writing why he should not be held liable for being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle,” officials noted.
Community members noted that while the LTO did not disclose the rider’s identity, they used a screengrab from a social media user’s video that circulated on August 15, 2025.
Video Location and Public Reaction
The video appears to have been recorded near the intersection of Osmeña Highway and Senator Gil J. Puyat Avenue (formerly Buendia Avenue) in Makati City. Local leaders observed that such stunts endanger not only the rider but also other road users and pedestrians.
Attempts to reach the moto vlogger through social media have so far been unsuccessful, with no response received from the account that posted the video.
Consequences If License Surrender Is Ignored
The LTO has warned that if the rider fails to comply with the show cause order, the agency will proceed with the case using the available evidence. This enforcement reflects the agency’s commitment to road safety and deterring reckless behavior on public roads.
Motorists and safety advocates have expressed support for strict penalties against such dangerous actions, urging all riders to prioritize safety and responsibility.
