Makati city: The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Monday suspended the license of a driver of the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) that went viral on social media for having flashing reverse lights.

According to Philippines News Agency, in a show cause order (SCO) signed by LTO Intelligence and Investigation Division (IID) Chief Renante Melitante, the license of the driver of the Toyota Innova with license plate no. DPB 7501 has been suspended for 90 days. Additionally, the vehicle itself has been placed under alarm.

The driver has been summoned to appear before the LTO IID at the LTO Central Office in Quezon City on October 10 to explain why they should not be charged. The order also directs the driver to bring the vehicle for inspection on the specified date.

The driver is facing administrative charges for violations under Section 34 (d) of Republic Act (RA) 4136 concerning 'Accessories of Motor Vehicles' and under Section 27 (a) of RA 4136 for being an 'Improper Person to Operate a Motor Vehicle'. The order noted that failure to appear and submit the required notarized comment or explanation would be considered a waiver of the right to be heard, and the case would be decided based on available evidence.

The video, which led to the suspension, was uploaded on the Facebook page "Parkeserye" and was captured in Makati City.
