LTO reportedly suspends BINI Mikha’s driver’s license over alleged distracted driving
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has reportedly suspended the driver’s license of BINI member Mikha Lim following allegations that she used her mobile phone while driving.
The reported suspension follows the circulation of video clips that triggered widespread criticism of the 23-year-old P-pop star.
The duration of the suspension and whether it is preventive or a final administrative penalty have yet to be independently confirmed.
The controversy began after clips from Mikha’s Weverse livestream circulated online, with netizens alleging that she was interacting with her phone while behind the wheel.
According to news reports, the livestream generated criticism, with viewers questioning whether her actions violated Republic Act No. 10913, or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act.
The law prohibits motorists from using mobile devices for activities such as texting, browsing the internet, and other distracting interactions while operating a vehicle, including when temporarily stopped at traffic lights.
Violations carry escalating fines starting at ₱5,000, with possible license suspension or revocation for repeated offenses.
The reported LTO action highlights the importance of enforcing road safety regulations regardless of a motorist’s celebrity status.
However, a preventive suspension would not automatically constitute a final finding of guilt.
The incident serves as a reminder that distracted driving can endanger drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists.
No celebrity status or social media engagement should take precedence over road safety.
