License suspended, vehicle owner summoned over video of child driving car
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended the driver's license of a motorist for 90 days after a video showed the individual letting a child steer their vehicle in Butuan City.
The LTO cited the incident, captured in a video posted on Threads last Saturday, where a child was seen on the driver's lap steering the car without either wearing a seatbelt.
The driver and the vehicle's registered owner were summoned to the LTO's Intelligence and Investigation Division to explain their actions.
Potential violations include reckless driving, failure to use seatbelts, allowing a child in the front seat, and being an improper person to operate a vehicle.
The vehicle involved has been placed under alarm status to prevent any transactions while the investigation is ongoing.
Both the driver and owner must submit a sworn statement by Wednesday to avoid an investigation proceeding without their input.
