LTO summons driver who berated MMDA enforcer in Mandaluyong
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has summoned a van driver accused of attempting to intimidate a traffic enforcer in Mandaluyong City.
The driver was reportedly flagged down by the enforcer on August 8 for allegedly trying to cut in line near La Salle Green Hills.
During the confrontation, the driver is said to have name-dropped a Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) official in an attempt to intimidate the enforcer.
The LTO stated that the driver's actions also obstructed the free passage of other motor vehicles.
LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II warned that the driver's license could face a 90-day suspension if identified and found to be licensed, with more severe penalties if unlicensed or possessing an expired license.
The van involved in the incident is company-owned, and the LTO has also issued a show-cause order to the company.
The company must explain why it should not be held liable for allowing a 'discourteous' person to operate its vehicle.
