LTO suspends TNVS driver's license for 90 days after knife threat

The Land Transportation Office (LTO) has suspended for 90 days the driver's license of a TNVS driver with InDrive after he allegedly threatened passengers with a knife following an argument over dropping them at the wrong location.

A viral video on social media shows the incident where the driver forced passengers off his vehicle and threatened to stab them with a knife in Manila.

Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon warned TNVS drivers that there are penalties for assaulting or intimidating passengers, stressing the need for passenger safety as per President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive.

Acting Assistant Secretary Greg Pua emphasized that the driver's behavior was unacceptable and needed immediate action, adding that the driver is not fit to be a professional driver.

The LTO issued a show-cause order against both the driver and registered owner of the vehicle, directing them to explain why his license should not be revoked over the incident.
