Vlogger Receives Lifetime Driving Ban After Dangerous Stunt
A vlogger from Aklan province known online as “Boy Kayak” has been banned for life from driving any vehicle following a reckless stunt that went viral. The incident involved the vlogger performing a Superman-like act on his motorcycle while dressed in underwear and a crop top. This shocking act led to severe consequences from the Land Transportation Office in Region 6 (Western Visayas).
Authorities cited the vlogger’s behavior as reckless driving, emphasizing that the excuse of performing the stunt solely for content creation does not justify the danger involved. According to sources familiar with the matter, the vlogger’s claim that the area was free of other vehicles and people, and that the stunt was not done on a national road, were not accepted as valid defenses.
Reasons Behind the Lifetime Ban
The Land Transportation Office-Region 6 (LTO-6) made the decision to impose a lifetime driving ban and prohibit the issuance of any driver’s license to the vlogger. Adding to the gravity of the situation is the fact that the vlogger, identified as Jimmy Lagunday Catarata from Ibajay town, did not have a valid driver’s license at the time the video was recorded.
A resolution signed by LTO-6 Regional Director and legal officers further placed the vlogger under “alarm status” due to the serious nature of his actions. Local experts emphasize that such measures are necessary to promote road safety and prevent future reckless behavior.
Impact of Reckless Driving on Social Media
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about dangerous content created for social media views. While content creators often push limits to gain attention, authorities warn that public safety must remain a priority. Reckless driving is a serious offense that endangers both the driver and others on the road.
Community leaders said that this case should serve as a reminder to all online personalities and the public that dangerous stunts can lead to lasting legal penalties. Furthermore, it reinforces the importance of securing valid licenses before operating any motor vehicle.
Moving Forward: Promoting Responsible Driving
The lifetime driving ban on the vlogger serves as a strong deterrent against reckless acts on the road. Authorities continue to monitor and enforce laws to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians alike. They urge all drivers and online influencers to act responsibly and adhere strictly to traffic regulations.
