Dizon suspends licenses for traffic violations in videos

Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announced on Monday that driver's licenses will be automatically suspended for 90 days for individuals caught breaking traffic laws in online videos.

Dizon instructed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) to suspend licenses without investigation and urged the public to report social media posts showing disobedience or abuse of traffic rules.

This crackdown is part of the government's response to recent road crashes, including a multiple-vehicle collision on SCTEX and a ramming incident at NAIA Terminal 1.

Among those affected are vlogger Yanna, whose license was suspended after instigating a road rage incident, and two others who received show cause orders (SCO).

Another vlogger, Robert Uson, will soon have his license suspended for posting a video of an illegal race.

Dizon also ordered regular drug tests for public utility vehicle (PUV) drivers every 90 days, reduced driving hours to four consecutive hours from six, strict safety checks for vehicles, and implementation of the speed limiter law.
