i started to noticed the tipper trucks carrying loads out from a quarry nearby, have started to comply with overloading measures. noticed the load is now flat within height of side wall of the truck bed. no more mound high above it… that is good sign.
but over the last 4 months, since the road is of quite steep gradient, i have noticed two incident of brake failures. luckily both truck is descending at low speed hence managed to find roadside obstruction to stop it from rolling freely down the gradient.
summons alone is not enough, Lock should also arrest the drivers and company owners, then sue them in court. sorry wait i forgot Loke cant do that because he isnt the polis minister nor law minister
So how are these vehicle in the road managed to capture the Puspa konon company that gives up small colour paper sheets to approved yet?
