A member of BINI, Mikha Lim, has issued a public apology after a video of her using a mobile phone while driving went viral on social media. The singer said her actions were “careless and irresponsible” and that there’s no excuse for using a phone while driving.

In a statement on X on November 11, Lim said she was sorry and took full responsibility for the incident. She also swore she would learn from the incident and be more careful driving.

“I know that using a mobile phone when I am driving can endanger lives,” said Lim. She also realized the importance of obeying traffic regulations for her, passengers, pedestrians and other motorists’ safety.

The singer confirmed that she has already reported to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and is undergoing the proper process to face the penalties for her violation.

“The event taught me to be more aware, disciplined and responsible,” she said. She also pledged to do better and take road safety rules more seriously.

LTO Places Her License Under Suspension

Lim personally went to the LTO Central Office on Wednesday, November 11 to surrender her driver’s license before issuing her public apology.

The agency had issued a Show Cause Order after receiving reports of a video of the singer using her phone while driving.

The video states that Lim was filming a video of herself while driving when her mobile phone fell. She reportedly reached down to grab the device from the floor of her car, instead of pulling over to a safe spot.

The video showed her driving the car while holding the phone with both hands.

The LTO said these acts are dangerous and could endanger other people and cause road accidents.

LTO cancels her license

Lim’s license was put under a 90-day preventive suspension by the LTO after the incident pending its probe.

She may be charged with several possible violations like Republic Act No. 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, reckless driving, and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.

These violations could result in additional penalties, including the suspension or revocation of her driver’s license.

The agency is also expected to review the case and determine what action is appropriate based on the evidence and the traffic laws that apply.

“While the incident is of public interest, the LTO reminds all that traffic laws are for everyone, regardless of position or popularity,” the LTO said.

Lim’s apology has also highlighted the value of driving responsibly. Drivers using a mobile phone while driving may be distracted and at greater risk of accidents.

The BINI member vowed through her statement to take this as a lesson and be better at making decisions in the future.
