The proposal for the automatic upgrading of the B2-class motorcycle license to the full B motorcycle license is still under review by the Malaysian transport ministry, said transport minister Anthony Loke. The matter remains under discussion within the ministry due to ‘various viewpoints’, reported New Straits Times.
“A decision has not been made. Indeed, studies have been conducted, but it’s still under further discussion because the class B licence is for larger motorcycles. We [the transport ministry] need to assess to what extent those holding a class B2 licence are capable of handling larger motorcycles, which raises concerns from various parties,” Loke said.
President of the Malaysian Driving Institute Association (PIMA) Mat Aris Bakar, previously said this move could regress the country’s vehicle licensing system as it involved the competency of a rider, New Straits Times reported.
Proponents of road safety also called on the transport ministry to study the proposal as involves the safety of motorcyclists as well as that of society, and the automatic upgrade could result in serious implications, according to Alliance for Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
This automatic upgrading of motorcycle licenses was proposed in August last year, submitted by Superbikers Association Malaysia (SAM) president Datuk Abdul Halim Sulaiman. This submission proposed that holders of the B2 motorcycle licence with its 250 cc limit, be upgraded to the full class B license after three years, on the condition the B2 licence holder does not commit any serious traffic offences.
In November last year, JPJ deputy director-general (Planning and Operations) Aedy Fadly Ramli was reported as saying that the B2-to-B license proposal was in the final stages of evaluation, and the proposal was to be forwarded to transport minister Anthony Loke and deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi by the end of 2023.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
which genius opens this topic?
I will agree to the proposal if only applied to B2 holders with 15 years and above experience
More important to renew lesen, in case eksidens can claim insuran n death benefit
If it’s 15 years spent on automatic scooters, rather give full B to everybody. Seriously, big bike is not the same as moped and scooters.
People who want to ride big bike simply have to train on “clutch equipped” big bikes and go through the standard test as usual.
The reality is HongLeong, Honda, Kawasaki etc want to boost their sells!
If big bike importers lazy lobby want to make more money, do like pilots who lost their job because of plandemy -> become hawkers :-)
Yes??
We all took driving lessons and tests using kancil and axia yet we can handle larger and more powerful vehicles safely. Might as well you propose all soon to be drivers to take commercial pilot courses before letting them drive on the road
Hahaha… Good one bro
Took my D license using Kancil 660, I can drive big *ss Alphard no problem. 600hp supercar also can. But B2 license aren’t even supposed to touch 300cc? Anyway this shouldn’t even be a thing. How do we even come to this conv?
no need to auto upgrade their license. all government has to do is to allow B2 to take a slightly higher capacity motorbike from 250cc to 500cc.
B2 to B is not really a big deal considering above 250cc bikes are not cheap which not many can afford to buy. Secondly I believe most high powered bike owners will not easily lend their bikes to those who don’t have experience let alone own any high powered bikes. Lastly, free upgrade from B2 to B is like giving a free Ferrari car without the engine.
There was a (bi?) election in Johor, contested by an UMNO candidate, & Zahid said the B2 would be automatically upgraded to B. This nation’s welfare had been beset by decisions & policies intended for the many politicians’ selfish gains – for more than 30 yrs – that are detrimental to the people overall safety & welfare.
Good for kapcai bikers & Mat Rempit! But long term, it will be bad for general public, road users & other motorists. Kapcai vs big bike handling, riding, torque, weight etc are not the same. Not everyone can control themselves (young bikers etc) and expect more road risks & accidents on the roads soon! Another “good” decision by this Government!
Like my PADU??
Sembang kari. No all kapcai bikers or mat rempit will buy big CC motor la. Sama macam not all axia owner will buy ferrari
Dumb idea, period! It’s like skipping elementary & high school & jump straight to university.
The dumb idea was to force people to get injected with toxic protein in order to fight what is usually called seasonal flus…
A “dumb” idea is to artificially give more oxygen to those suffering from pulmonary infections.
What was a $mart idea, is to change medical protocol to purposely increase death rate among people suffering from regular flu… In order to sell (((magic remedy))) against the flu…
A $mart idea for those who in 2019 already knew what would happen in the next 4 years… Small group of investors already initiated to that closed door business plan…
Question : For which amount of SGD would you accept to kill your own people “innocently”?
Doesn’t matter… They did it because they are servants of their foreign master, one eyed slaves… Triangles in their fragile hands…
Some of them even believe they are good actors, even though she s#cks like her old witch mother…
Baik ko buat lesen D2 bawah 1500cc. Nak bawak kete cc besar ambik D full
Suggest do the upgrade from B2 to B1 first, then B1 to B full. B2 to B1 may be auto upgrade after 3 years then B1 to B after longer period or under stricter criteria.
No need to upgrade from B2 to B.
But change the B2 capacity from 250cc to 500cc.
Tak payah susah buat study.
Brilliant idea! I concede. This guy makes a better transport minister than me
If you a b2 license holder,u can apply b full temporary license at jpj for L for 3month use,than can renew your b full L for 2years,without you go for bfull training,so if can buy bfull L from jpj at rm30 for 3month,whats the promblem for the gov to upgrade b2 to b full???
L license cannot carry wife bro. Only 1 person on bike.
I think the limiting factor is not only engine size or power level of larger engine. My biggest concern is that you can go get B2 licence riding a bike without clutch.. so a person like hv B2 licence but never handle a bike with clutch. That’s a bigger issue.
I supposed the licencing criteria should be manual clutch bike Vs CVT or auto clutch type of transmit.
I m not competent with clutch bike.. will need to learn and practice
It’s very easy to upgrade a 250cc engine to 300cc or even 400cc without anyone knowing unless you bother to dismantle the engine & measure the B&S. The police or JPJ just couldn’t be bothered. There are P&P kits readily available in the market and many 250cc bikes on the road are no longer 250cc anymore. To cut the long story short just raise the B2 limit to 500cc and call it a day.
the other day i saw a picture of PMX with klaus schwaub
the day the UG announced and launched the ID Khas, fahmi made the iluminati traingle symbol with his hands
which indicates covertly all govs work for the iluminati and their agenda is depopulate the world.
by automatically upgrading the B2 to B, more sellers will offer attractive offers to sell bigger bikes, thus more of these unqualified B2 bikers will buy bigger bikes and depopulate themselves…. thats the intent of this auto upgrade!!
Forget the illuminatis and lizards.
There are only 2 leading groups, Jews (bank/debt) and bellow, their Freemasons goyim dogs (administrators/dealers/politicians etc…)
Anything else are ridiculous entertainment to disqualify the real plot (conspiracy against taxpayers)
B2 to full B be may be a bit ambitious and dangerous. Combining B1 & B2 may be a better approach so automatic upgrade from B2 to B1 instead of full B.
