JPJ to bikers – stop at road blocks or face the blacklist

Motorcycle riders trying to evade police and JPJ road blocks has become a common place thing. Some riders even place their lives and the lives of others at risk by riding against the flow of traffic or across road dividers to avoid being detained at road blocks.

However, JPJ Malacca has come out to say road users, especially bikers, face being blacklisted should they perform such actions. JPJ Malacca director Muhammad Firdaus Sharif said in a Harian Metro report road users flouting the law will be given a notice before their names are put on the blacklist.

This is provided for under Section 55 of the Road Transport Act 1987 with JPJ officers recording the antics of bikers trying to avoid road blocks during operations. “After the vehicle is identified, JPJ will issue Notice 114 for the owner of the vehicle to present his or herself within 21 days. Should they fail to appear, a RM150 compound will be issued and their name inserted into the blacklist, preventing them from renewing their license and road tax,” said Firdaus.

Meanwhile, Firdaus said 1,236 summons were issued in Malacca during Ops TBC, which ran from 29 January to 12 February during the Chinese New Year holidays. Of this total, motorcycles recorded the highest number of offences with 329 while 355 summons were issued for driving license offences.

      I think it is more of running away from roadblocks instead of breaking through.
      You see many cases of these riders suddenly making a u-turn and drive against the traffic flow just to detour around the roadblock.
      Or some will just stop some distance away and wait for the police to pack up and leave the area.

    the authorities should discharge from any wrongdoings to those motorist that rammed these bikers that ride against the traffic. too often i see bikers do that and cars need to give way or make space for them to ride against the traffic. a ruling must be imposed that in an event these bikers are rammed into and they lost their lives or injured, the driver of the car is not responsible. why should drivers care about them when they don’t care about themselves in the first place?

    The offenders are not afraid of being blacklisted. They are only afraid of jail time.

      1. Welcome those don’t hold a valid license subject to age term and provide them license by enrolling on driving course in same condition like others to pass it. Underaged caught, bring them to their parents and summon them as they are more responsible to their kids.

      2. Any type of offence that paid with money is already an indirect education that with money you are free from any offence by paying money. Rather, type of offence should be getting the offender’s to repay having enforcement to impose social responsibility getting them to start educating others by getting them involved in road safety campaigns and be part of it. The more you preach the more you practice. The more you pay sure you be ignorant.

      3. Any roadblocks, traffic safety measures should be more transparent for public road users rather then a sudden roadblocks out of nowhere, speed trap hiding between bridges, bushes, as far camouflage someone will try outsmart people. Enforcement thought to Go hunting for money or supposed trying to fine people so they reduce such offence in the future? Technology is here now Waze example to alert other road users where are these hunters hiding for those concerned not to get an unaware summon or unexpectedly.

      4. Any typical majority Malaysian mindset the moment see a roadblock, hopefully they won’t stop me. Regardless,

  • there’s a problem here. the roadblocks are to catch the errant ones – those without a valid license, roadtax, insurance, etc. if you blacklist them and they cannot renew those, it won’t make any difference, no?

    jpj should know the common escape route of these rempits and be prepared with a team / officers to nab them (perhaps with high powered bikes?).

    Road accidents kill more people than cancer in Malaysia. Yet, Malaysian drivers think they are the best and can’t take any criticism plus enforcement is crap. Motorcyclist – basically born to die. The most ambitious become a accident statistic before the age of 23.
