The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a show-cause order (SCO) against the viral rider who performed a stunt, running a motorcycle on one wheel, on a public road.

According to the LTO, this is dangerous, noting that in a viral video, the rider is wearing only slippers and driving without astandard protective helmet; the motorcycle has no side mirrors. The office emphasized that this behavior can be considered a violation of the existing laws and regulations regarding safety on roads.

“Makikita rin sa video na hindi ito nakasuot ng standard protective motorcycle helmet habang minamaneho ang motorsiklo. Napansin din na walang side mirror ang motorsiklo at nakasuot lamang siya ng tsinelas, na pawang mga paglabag sa umiiral na mga batas at regulasyon sa kaligtasan sa kalsada,” according to LTO

[“The video shows that he’s not wearing a standard protective motorcycle helmet while riding a motorcycle. It was also observed that there is no side mirror in the motorcycle and he only wears slippers, which is all considered a violation of existing laws and regulations on road safety.”]

Aside from the SCO, the LTO has implemented a temporary measure, placing a motorcycle under alarm status, while a rider’s license is suspended for 90 days.
