Kuala Lumpur: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) launched a two-month nationwide special operation targeting motorcyclists today. Its director-general, Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, announced that the operation will focus on eight main offences committed by motorcycle riders, including riding without a valid licence, without a motor vehicle license, lacking insurance coverage, and breaking traffic light signals. The operation will also address unauthorised modifications of motorcycles, failure to wear crash helmets, and illegal racing.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the initiative comes in response to alarming statistics showing an increasing trend in fatal accidents involving motorcycles, as recorded by the Royal Malaysia Police. The operation aims to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from road accidents through a focused enforcement strategy. This strategy will monitor, detect, and take action against non-compliant riders and motorcycle owners.
Aedy Fadly emphasized the importance of adhering to road
laws and regulations, urging road users, especially motorcycle riders and pillion riders, to be tolerant of others. He also encouraged the public to report complaints directly or in real-time using the MyJPJ application, e-aduan@jpj application, or by emailing aduantrafik@jpj.gov.
