The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has summoned a motorcycle rider who went viral for performing a “wheelie” – a stunt in which the rider balances the motorcycle on its rear wheel, with the front wheel lifted off the ground.In a statement, the LTO said it issued a show cause order (SCO) against the motorcycle rider who did the dangerous stunt on a public road.The rider was not wearing a standard protective helmet and was only wearing slippers instead of the prescribed footwear, while his motorcycle had no side mirrors.The LTO also found out that the motorcycle was not registered.The motorcycle rider was ordered to appear before the LTO’s Intelligence and Investigation Division (IID) on June 10 at 10 a.m. and submit a verified explanation.The rider should explain why he should not be held administratively liable for reckless driving, operating a motor vehicle without the proper accessories, and for wearing slippers while operating a motorcycle.He should also answer why his driver’s license should not be revoked for being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.The motorcycle was placed under an LTO alarm while his driver’s license was placed under preventive suspension for 90 days. The driver’s license should be surrendered on the day of the hearing.LTO chief and Transportation Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao said it is alarming to see such content on social media that might end up in an accident.“Hindi sukatan ng husay sa pagmomotorsiklo ang paggawa ng mga stunt sa pampublikong kalsada. Kapag ginawa ito sa mga lansangang ginagamit ng publiko, hindi lamang sarili ang isinasapanganib kundi pati ang buhay ng ibang tao,” Lacanilao said.(One’s skill with the motorcycle is not measured by how one performs stunts on public roads. If these are done on public roads, they endanger not just themselves but the lives of other people.)“Hindi natin hahayaang maging normal o katanggap-tanggap ang ganitong uri ng pag-uugali sa kalsada,” he added.(We will not let these kinds of behavior on the road be normalized or acceptable.) — JMA, GMA News
