JPJ, PLUS to focus on motorcycle accident hotspots on the highway – more enforcement on 3 streches

PLUS and JPJ are coming together to put more focus and increase collaboration to reduce accidents involving motorcyclists on PLUS-operated highways. This was announced at a Q1 2023 KPI meeting of the two parties in Jelapang, Perak yesterday.

Three hotspots on the North South Highway have been identified. “Based on records, the stretches of Kuala Kangsar – Ipoh Utara, Nilai – Bandar Ainsdale and Seremban – Port Dickson have been identified as hotspots that chart high motorcycle accident rates, especially on weekends, Friday to Sunday,” said JPJ’s senior director of enforcement Datuk Lokman Jamaan.

He added that the road transport department is ready to increase observation of these hotspots and other locations to try to reduce accident rates. It includes the aspects of enforcement and continuous advocacy from JPJ with the cooperation of PLUS.

Based on records, over 60% of road accident deaths on the PLUS highway are from motorcycles.

      Who not JPJ focus to catch killer trucks instead, these are more dangerous compared to motors with broken signal lights. See the case recently this is just the tip.

    I want to ask JPJ:
    Can motorcyclists use the Federal Highway now?

    Please enforce the rule on the Federal highway first.

    Motorcycles are making Federal Highway their territory. A disaster is waiting to happen anytime soon!

    motorcyclists are road bullies. Every morning you hear them honking cars for trying to change lanes. Macam tukar lorong tu hak bapak dia saja.

    like a virus, these tiny motorcycles are a curse to society. they are the gateway drug for basikal lajak kids to aim for, when they are old enough to get their lesen B2. On the roads, these viruses like to hog between car lanes, so cars cannot even change lanes.

    Don’t need to pukul rata all motorcyclists as I usually respect honest bikers, in actual these PariaDua are biggest curse to society. they are the gateway drug for unskilled and idiotic drivers, worse, plenty of them are unlicensed as well, yet tunjuk hebat on the road with their moving coffin junk cars, coupled with rigged safety spec on newest model. On the roads, these f**ktards either like to hog or speeding like mad cow on the overtaking lanes, so cars cannot even change lanes, not to mention overtake them as they will either speed up or brake check you if you try to be funny at these PariaDua baboons.

    Also to check:
    1. Fancy no plate
    2. No plate pointing upwards
    3. No plate hidden behind the wheel

    Traffic light is a good location for a start.

      if gomen serious wanna catch these people, just visit cheap housing, or flats. Lots of illegal modified motorbikes (and cars) that they can issue summons on the spot.

    motorcyclists especially the big ones are even worse on highways. these freeloaders are the biggest safety threat to other users. Take action which will result in non-reoccurrence.
