The road transport department (JPJ) says that its Operasi Khas Motosikal 2024, which began last Friday, November 1, has seen a total of 11,435 summonses being issued to motorcyclists nationwide in the first four days of the two-month long special operation.
According to JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, a total of 31,851 motorcycles were inspected during the four-day period, and action was taken against 4,533 motorcycles. Additionally, 135 motorcycles were confiscated for failing to comply with the regulations under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) and its related regulations, The Star reports.
He said the special operation was being conducted because statistics have indicated that the number of accidents and fatalities from road incidents is rising, with 70% of these cases involving motorcyclists. “JPJ will not compromise with any motorcyclist or pillion rider who fails to comply with established road regulations,” he said.
The objective of this operation is to minimise the accident rate and death toll through monitoring and by enforcing compliance on eight key offences, which are operating a motor vehicle without a valid license, operating a motor vehicle without road tax, having no insurance cover, running red lights, extreme modification of a vehicle, riding a motorcycle without wearing a helmet, illegal racing and other technical offences.
Aedy Fadly noted that the top five offences during the four-day period were that of not having a competent driving licence (CDL) (2,922 cases), riding a motorbike with an expired motor vehicle licence (LKM) (2,290 cases), not having insurance coverage (2,044 cases), technical offences (1,043 cases) and for using registration numbers not following specifications (663 cases).
