He also warned the owner that failure to appear and submit an affidavit would force the agency “to resolve the case based on available records.”

 Citing police records, LTO said both the registered owner and the driver of the SUV are facing cases for reckless driving, obstruction of traffic as well as improper person to operate a motor vehicle under RA 4136, and disregarding traffic signs under Joint Administrative Order No. 2014-01.
