Johor JPJ seeks p-hailing operators’ help to curb repeat offences, especially running red lights
JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 14 — The Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) will meet p-hailing operators to discuss measures...
On October 14, the Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) will hold a meeting with p-hailing operators to address traffic offences and improve riders' awareness of road safety. State JPJ director Zulkarnain Yasin informed that the department has received numerous complaints about traffic violations, especially running red lights, captured on dashboard camera footage.
Operators are urged to develop strategies to remind riders of the consequences of repeat offences and prevent accidents. JPJ enforces demerit points for repeated offences like running red lights, with suspended licences after accumulating 20 points. They want to know if operators have their own methods to help curb the issue. Road accident records show that motorcyclists are responsible for 60-70% of accidents and fatalities.
The department is strengthening enforcement, particularly in accident-prone areas, as part of their key performance indicators to reduce road accidents. The latest accident statistics involving p-hailing riders will be obtained from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for the planned meeting.
