Dubbed “Motorcycle Special Operation”, Selangor police held a state-wide operation against motorcyclists. Over the course of the operation, 1,421 traffic summons were issued against 1,056 motorcycles and 365 cars, which was jointly held with JPJ, the Department of Environment and highway concessionaire Kesas.
According to Selangor Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) head Superintendent Azman Shari’at, the operation was carried because too many motorcyclists refuse to ride on the highway motorcycle lanes, where provided. Among the excuses given to police by riders flouting the law were wanting to speed up their journey and the motorcycle lane was in bad condition.
Aside from that, JSPT is also focusing on motorcycles with modified exhausts, causing noise pollution and disturbing public peace, especially in residential areas, reports Harian Metro. “We have received several complaints and information regarding this issue,” said Superintendent Shari’at.
“Action will be taken and thus far, 1,483 summons have been issued for various traffic offences,” he added. Elaborating further, Superintendent Shari’at said 117 summons were issued for not wearing a helmet, 320 for riding without a licence, 111 for number plate not conforming to regulations. Other offences included 60 summons for no wing mirror, one for underage rider, 504 for not using the motorcycle lane, three for illegal modifications and 367 for miscellaneous offences.

Bravo pdrm. After watching Moto GP racing,
Finally they went rounding up those bikes who do not use the bike lanes. So many of them seen on federal highway and that picture of the biker face palming while waiting for his saman is pure gold. Whatever happened to the face mask rule? I see only the police wearing it so does that mean those bikers get 2 samans? RM1k + RM150?
Naik motor sorang2, no need mask la…
Bike lane is so bad, try riding in one, if you can even ride and comeback say that again. If it start raining it become slippery, flooded, hydroplane mess. The infamously bad Federal motorcycle lane is the best we had, and that’s far from a good thing.
Well done PDRM. Please do operasi at Federal Highway as motor bikers are not using the bike lanes and riding at high speed in between the vehicles at peak hour.
I m regular user of Motorbike lane in federal highway. i would say it is safer to ride on highway than the motorbike lanes. Its conditions are deplorable
Tak habis-habis mat rempit punya cerita.
im not against anything, im all for safety and abide to the law.
but cant motorcycle lane be at least 1 car lane wide? wouldnt it better if motorcycle lane is made to be more condusive so that theres no point for motorcycle not using them?
