BINI member Mikha Lim has surrendered her driver's license to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) after she was issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) over alleged cellphone use while driving.

According to Dano Tingcungco’s report on “24 Oras” on Wednesday, the P-pop star personally went to the LTO Central Office on Wednesday, November 11, accompanied by her manager, to surrender her license, which was placed under a 90-day preventive suspension pending investigation.

Per LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao, the agency received reports and complaints about Mikha's livestream, which showed her using her cellphone while driving.

In the video, the singer was seen recording herself behind the wheel when her cellphone fell. Instead of stopping at a safe location, she allegedly bent down to retrieve the device from underneath the vehicle.

She was also seen holding the cellphone with both hands while driving.

The LTO subsequently issued a Show Cause Order requiring Mikha to explain her actions, which may constitute violations of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, reckless driving, and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.

Lacanilao said Mikha and her manager voluntarily appeared at the agency earlier than her scheduled November 20 hearing and surrendered her driver's license.

“They acknowledged their mistake and voluntarily came to the LTO to discuss the matter. We also served them with the Show Cause Order, explained the violations, and they surrendered the driver's license,” he said in Filipino.

(Nakita nila 'yung pagkakamali so boluntaryo sila na nagpunta dito sa LTO para makipag-usap at nasilbi na rin namin ‘yung show cause order nila at pinaliwanag sa kaniya 'yung kaniyang violation at sinurrender din niya 'yung kaniyang driver's license).
