The stunts violate driving regulations outlined in Republic Act 4136, including Section 48 on reckless driving. LTO-7 has temporarily suspended Econas's driver's license for 90 days and has placed it under alarm status. Regional Director Francisco "Franz" Ranches Jr. recommended further revocation of the license due to the serious nature of the incident.

Econas is summoned to appear before the LTO-7 Operations Division in Cebu City on February 18 to explain why his license should not be permanently revoked. The LTO-7 emphasized that failure to appear or submit a written explanation would be considered a waiver of the right to be heard. This matter highlights ongoing concerns about road safety and responsible driving behaviors, reported Manila Bulletin.
