The LTO will issue show-cause orders to motorists caught on CCTV videos, according to LTO chief Vigor Mendoza.

"This is not connected to the Supreme Court (SC) case on the NCAP.

This is purely an LTO mandate," he said during the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum, referring to the nocontact apprehension policy.

In January 2023, the SC wrapped up the oral arguments on NCAP.
