JPJ to meet bike rally organisers following reports of frequent accidents
The director-general of road transport says all participants at motoring events are required to comply with traffic laws and vehicle technical regulations.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced its intention to meet with organisers of motorcycle gathering programmes, including the RXZ Members 8.0 event, following a series of accidents linked to such events. Director-General Aedy Fadly Ramli stated that while JPJ does not prohibit the organisation of these events, participants must strictly adhere to traffic laws and vehicle technical regulations.
Recent accidents involving participants travelling to an RXZ Members 8.0 gathering in Terengganu have resulted in fatalities and severe injuries, prompting JPJ to take enforcement actions against any violations, particularly those related to vehicle modification and reckless behavior. The department emphasized its commitment to ensuring the safety of all road users and will not hesitate to take action against any participant who endangers others.
