Mikha Lim license suspension is under scrutiny after the Land Transportation Office (LTO) imposed a 90-day preventive suspension on the BINI member following the circulation of a video allegedly showing her using a cellphone while driving.

LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao said the agency issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) after reviewing the footage, which reportedly showed Lim recording herself while behind the wheel before dropping her phone and attempting to retrieve it.

The agency ordered her to surrender her driver’s license while the investigation is ongoing. She was also directed to appear before the LTO Intelligence and Investigation Division on November 20, 2026, to explain her actions and submit supporting documents.

Lim reportedly appeared at the LTO Central Office on November 11, ahead of the scheduled hearing.

LTO Investigates Possible Traffic Violations

The incident may involve violations of Republic Act No. 10913, or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, which prohibits motorists from using mobile communication devices while driving.

The LTO is also looking into possible reckless driving and other administrative violations in connection with the incident.

The Mikha Lim license suspension is a preventive measure while the agency reviews the case. It should not be considered a final determination of guilt, as the administrative proceedings are still ongoing.

What Does the Anti-Distracted Driving Act Say?

Republic Act No. 10913 prohibits drivers from using mobile phones and other electronic devices for activities such as texting, calling, and similar functions while operating a vehicle.

The law aims to reduce road accidents caused by distracted driving and promote safer roads for motorists, passengers, and pedestrians.

Violations carry penalties that increase for repeat offenses, including fines and possible driver’s license suspension or revocation, depending on the offense.

LTO Emphasizes Road Safety

The LTO has reiterated that traffic regulations apply to everyone, regardless of popularity or public status.

The case also highlights the importance of responsible driving, particularly the dangers of handling mobile phones while operating a vehicle.

The agency’s investigation will determine the appropriate administrative action based on the evidence and Lim’s explanation.

The outcome of the proceedings remains pending.
