JPJ conducting Operasi Khas Motosikal from today – focus on running red lights, illegal racing, helmet use

The road transport department (JPJ) has issued a statement for its special operation that will be focused on motorcyclists, and this will be held over a two-month duration from today, November 1 until December 31, 2024.

Named Operasi Khas Motosikal Tahun 2024, this will be held nationwide with a focus on motorcyclists and motorcycle owners for compliance to road rules under Act 333 of the Road Transport Act 1987 and its sections.

The implementation of Operasi Khas Motosikal Tahun 2024 follows the upwards trend in monthly fatal road crash statistics recorded by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), particularly those involving motorcyclists, has risen by 1,908, or 80%, according to the JPJ.

“The target is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries due to road accidents using a focused enforcement strategy to monitor, detect and take action against riders or motorcycle owners who fail to comply with stipulated regulations,” JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said in the statement.

For the purpose of achieving the overall objective of this operation that is to minimise the accident rate and death toll in the third and fourth quarters of this year, the JPJ will be focusing on eight key offences:

  • Operating a motor vehicle without a valid license
  • Operating a motor vehicle without road tax
  • No insurance cover
  • Running red lights
  • Extreme modifications of vehicle
  • Riding motorcycle without wearing a helmet
  • Illegal racing
  • Other technical offences

The JPJ also advised road users, especially motorcycle riders and pillion riders, to obey the law and road traffic rules, and to be tolerant of other road users.

        Motorcyclists have never been made to be accountable for anything. Bang a car? They don’t have to pay or get any consequence. Car bang them? Driver can get fined and jailed. Speeding? Run red lights? Go against traffic on one-way street? Riding on sidewalks? Not stopping at zebra crossings? All these and more, they don’t have to be accountable and if anything bad happens e.g. a car hits them because of their blatant flouting of traffic rules, it’s the car driver that will be punished.

        So, honestly, why should non-motorcyclists be concerned at all about motorcyclist road casualty figures? To us it’s a self-inflicted death wish and nothing more.

    For a long term solution, JPJ should consider castrating these rempits at robloks. They won’t be so daring without their balls.

    these operations should be enforced all year long.
    every single day without miss, we see motorbikes running red lights, riding against traffic, doing illegal junction turns and zig-zag between cars as if they own the road.
