BINI's Mikha Lim after suspension of driver's license: 'I promise to learn from this'

BINI member Mikha Lim apologized after the Land Transportation Office issued a Show Cause Order (SCO) against her over alleged cellphone use while driving.

On X (formerly Twitter), the P-pop idol said she takes full accountability for what happened and said it was a big lesson for her to be more "mindful, disciplined, and responsible."

"I want to sincerely apologize for my actions. There is absolutely no excuse for using my phone while behind the wheel. It was careless and irresponsible," she said.

"I have already reported to the LTO and am going through due process to face the proper penalties for my violation," she added. "Road safety rules exist to protect everyone, and something we need to take seriously. I promise to learn from this and do better."

Mikha appeared before the LTO on Wednesday to surrender her driver's license, which was placed under a 90-day preventive suspension pending investigation.

LTO chief Assistant Secretary Markus Lacanilao said 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.

Her actions may constitute violations of the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, reckless driving, and being an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.

Among the possible penalties under the Anti-Distracted Driving Act are fines of P5,000 for the first offense. This may also result in a P20,000 fine and revocation of driver's license on the fourth offense.

Hi everyone, I want to sincerely apologize for my actions. There is absolutely no excuse for using my phone while behind the wheel. It was careless and irresponsible. I take full accountability for what happened. I have already reported to the LTO and am going through due process to face the proper penalties for my violation. This has been a big lesson for me to be much more mindful, disciplined, and responsible moving forward. Road safety rules exist to protect everyone, and something we need to take seriously. I promise to learn from this and do better.☺️
