A motorcycle rider who spat at a public bus driver during a heated argument in Talisay City, Cebu, has been summoned by the Land Transportation Office Region 7 (LTO-7).
The agency issued a show cause order on Oct. 20, directing both drivers to explain their sides of the incident and address possible traffic violations.
A video of the confrontation showed the motorcycle rider spitting at the bus driver during their argument. The original report did not specify what triggered the dispute or identify the individuals involved.
The LTO-7 also ordered both drivers to surrender their licenses for preventive suspension while the investigation continues. The motorcycle and the bus involved were placed under alarm status, according to the report.
The agency has not announced its final findings regarding the incident.
The LTO-7 reminded motorists to maintain discipline and show respect to other road users. It also urged drivers to avoid allowing misunderstandings to escalate into heated confrontations.
The investigation will help authorities determine whether either driver violated traffic regulations and what further action may be warranted.
