The Land Transportation Office has issued a show cause order against the owner of the vehicle that hit a female senior citizen in Dapitan, Manila. | zacariansINQ
According to the LTO, the order also directed the driver to submit a written explanation on why they should not be administratively charged for Reckless Driving. Failure to comply would result in revocation or suspension of their license.
If a written explanation is not submitted, both the driver and vehicle owner effectively waive their right to be heard and the case will be decided based on evidence at hand. This developed after the vehicle, a Nissan Almera, reportedly hit a senior citizen and immediately left the scene.“These kinds of accidents that involve our citizens keep repeating itself and unfortunately create further anxiety and worries among pedestrians as to the safety of our roads. The actions of the driver at the scene of the incident clearly involves lack of discipline and disregard for human life,” said LTO chief Jose Arturo Tugade in a statement.
“We hope the vehicle owner and the driver show up and comply, otherwise, we will impose the strictest penalties under the law, so they won’t be allowed to own and operate a motor vehicle again,” he added.
