THE Land Transportation Office in Central Visayas (LTO 7) has preventively suspended for 90 days the license of a motorist seen in a viral video driving with his foot hanging out of the car window.
The LTO 7 said Monday, January 12, 2026, that it has identified the registered owner of the white sedan and issued a show cause order.
The driver faces reckless driving charges and must appear at an LTO hearing on Jan. 14 for violation of Sections 48 and 27 of Republic Act 4136, or the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.
In an order, LTO 7 Director Glen Galario ordered the driver’s license placed under alarm status and preventively suspended for 90 days.
Galario said the agency acted immediately after receiving reports of the incident, warning motorists that unsafe behavior on the road will not be tolerated.
The driver was ordered to surrender his license and appear before the LTO 7 Operations Division to provide reasons for retaining his driving privileges.
Failure to attend the hearing will be deemed a waiver, and the case will be resolved based on available records, the LTO 7 said. / DPC, PR
