LTO Issues SCO vs BINI Mikha for Allegedly Using Cellphone While Driving
LTO has issued a Show Cause Order against BINI member Mikha Lim following a video allegedly showing her using a cellphone while driving.
The Land Transportation Office acted on the matter under the direction of LTO Chief Assistant Secretary Markus V. Lacanilao after receiving a video involving the popular P-pop girl group member.
Based on the evidence gathered by the LTO, Mikha was reportedly recording herself while driving when her cellphone accidentally fell. Instead of stopping in a safe place, she allegedly bent down to retrieve the device from underneath the vehicle.
The video also appeared to show her holding the cellphone with both hands while driving. The agency considered the actions dangerous because they could lead to road accidents and put other motorists and pedestrians at risk.
Following the incident, the LTO placed Mikha under investigation and ordered her to appear before the Intelligence and Investigation Division (IID) at the LTO Central Office along East Avenue, Quezon City, on November 20, 2026.
She was directed to submit a sworn explanation along with supporting documents addressing the allegations against her.
The possible violations listed in the order include Republic Act No. 10913, also known as the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, reckless driving, and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle. These violations could lead to the suspension or cancellation of her driver’s license if established.
As an initial measure, the LTO also ordered her to surrender her driver’s license and placed her under a 90-day preventive suspension while the investigation continues.
The agency stressed that traffic laws must be followed by everyone, regardless of fame or social status.
