LTO issues SCO vs ‘loud’ MC owner

MANILA: The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) to the registered owner of a “loud” motorcycle in Pasig. 

According to the agency, the said motorcycle was the subject of a public disturbance complaint. Additionally, the land transportation bureau said that at least three violations relating to traffic rules — which include unauthorized installation of accessories — have been counted against the motorcycle owner. 

The owner — who is believed to be a resident of San Mateo, Rizal — is now being asked to explain why he should not be held liable for the abovementioned violations. 

He is also being ordered to appear before the LTO National Capital Region office on October 16, 2023. 

Failure to comply with the SCO will allow the LTO to proceed with the legal process. 

“Nagpapatunay lamang ito na mabilis ang aksyon ng inyong LTO sa mga reklamo na ipapa-abot ng ating mga kababayan hindi lamang sa isyu ng road rage king hindi na rin mga kaso ng pang-aabuso sa kalsada gaya ng insidenteng ito (This only proves that the LTO immediately responds to the complaints reported by the public, not only about issues regarding road rage, but also with other forms of abuse on the road like this incident),” said LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Attorney Vigor Mendoza II. 

“Kaya hinihikayat natin ang ating mga kababayan na agad ipag-bigay alam sa inyong LTO ang mga violation na may kinalaman sa road safety at public disturbance involving motor vehicles (We encourage the public to report to the LTO any violation regarding road safety and public disturbance involving motor vehicles), he added.
