Senior JPJ Enforcement Director Datuk Lokman Jamaan said that the notices were issued after carrying out inspections of 51,039 motorcycles while the motorcycles were seized due to the lack of insurance coverage, driving licence, and others involving 291 Point of Duty (POD) locations across the country.

He revealed that the six most common offences were no driving licence, expired vehicle licence (LKM), no insurance, expired driving licence, not wearing a helmet, and violating traffic lights.

“Justeru saya menyeru kepada seluruh masyarakat untuk memuat naik aplikasi MyJPJ bagi memudahkan urusan,” jelasnya.

Memetik laporan Utusan Online, Zailani meminta agar pengguna jalan raya merancang jadual perjalanan sempena cuti Aidilfitri.

“Pengguna juga perlu merancang jadual perjalanan terutama mereka yang akan pulang ke Kelantan yang mana kita jangka akan berlaku kesesakan di Gua Musang susulan penutupan jalan bagi tujuan kerja-kerja pemasangan cerucuk jambatan bagi Projek Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) pakej 3B dan 3C.

“Jadi saya menyeru pengguna untuk tidak hanya bergantung kepada laluan berkenaan kerana masih ada beberapa pilihan laluan untuk masuk ke Kelantan bagi mengelakkan kesesakan,” tambahnya. – Utusan Online

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Slated For July Launch

Royal Enfield recently opens its second exclusive showroom located in Perai, Penang.

The Super Meteor features an all-new frame and revised suspension setup.
The Super Meteor 650 features the same 650cc parallel-twin engine found in the 650 Twins.

During the launch, Mr. Rewi Hamid Bugo Chairman of Didi Group also confirmed that the highly-aniticpated Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 will hit Malaysian shores tentatively in July 2023.

The Super Meteor 650 is the third motorcycle to feature Royal Enfield’s 650cc parallel-twin engine after the Continental GT and Interceptor.

However, this is not simply an engine swap from the smaller Meteor 350 or a different aesthetic from the existing 650 Twin. Instead, the Super Meteor 650 gets a newly built frame, revised suspension geometry, redesigned fuel tank, new side panels and a new swingarm.

Also, the Super Meteor 650 is the first 650cc model from Royal Enfield to be equipped with full-LED lighting. In addition, the Super Meteor is also the first Royal Enfield to be fitted with upside-down forks.

Nonetheless, the motorcycle continues to offer conventional cruiser-style riding ergonomics similar to the 350.

Meanwhile, instrumentation comes from a digital-analogue display with tripper navigation.

This recent development is important to note, especially for those who frequently travel to Singapore. According to a report by Paultan.org, every motorcycle in Singapore (including those from Malaysia) must adhere to the latest carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emission limits.

The National Environment Agency (NEA) has set the latest CO limit at 4.5 percent, while the HC limit is set at 7,800ppm for 2-stroke motorcycles and 2,000ppm for 4-stroke motorcycles.

To ensure smooth enforcement, NEA will conduct emission inspections at the Singapore border checkpoints. Motorcycles found to be non-compliant with the emission regulations will be immediately issued a fine of the same amount as those for Singaporean motorcycles.

Aveta Rolls Out All-New VZR250 In Malaysia – 250cc Single, 24hp

Coming in new for the Malaysian market is the entry-level Aveta VZR250 sportsbike which is dubbed to be the most affordable quarter-litre motorcycle in its class.

The VZR250 is Aveta’s eight model introduced in Malaysia.
The entry-level sportsbike is fully assembled in Malaysia.

Priced at just RM14,998, the VZR250 makes 24hp and 21Nm from its single-cylinder 250cc DOHC 4-stroke engine. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a manual six-speed transmission with chain final drive.

According to Aveta, the VZR250 offers precise fuel consumption thanks to its electronic fuel injection (EFI) system).

Stopping power consist of dual disc brakes with radially-mounted 4-pot brake callipers at the front and 2-pot brake callipers at the rear.

Unfortunately, while the rest of its competitors features ABS (anti-lock braking system), the VZR250 relies on CBS (combine-braking system) commonly found in smaller-capacity machines.

The CBS system works by activating both the front and rear brakes when engaging the rear brake.

According to our sources in Aveta, the VZR250 is assembled locally in Malaysia and is rebadge from the Taro GP1 motorcycle currently available in other global markets.

The Aveta VZR250 is available in Jet Black, Fire Bird Red and Air Force Blue.

All-New Honda XL750 Transalp To Land In Malaysia Soon?

Honda officially rolled out the all-new XL750 Transalp in November last year at EICMA.

The Transalp features the same parallel-twin engine as the Hornet.
Fitted with Showa’s suspension at the front and rear with Pro-Link swingarm.

The Transalp nameplate returns for 2023 with the middleweight adventure motorcycle set to go up against the Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM 890 Adventure.

Although the bike is yet to be available in Malaysia, we understood that Malaysian might not need to wait long as the middleweight adventure is said to arrive soon.

While there’s no official word from Honda Motorcycles Malaysia, we expect the XL750 Transalp could arrive sooner than expected.

Mechanically, the Honda XL750 Transalp features an all-new parallel-twin engine that makes 90hp and 75Nm. That said, the Transalp slots in between the 74hp Tenere and 105hp 890 Adventure.

Similar to Honda CB750 Hornet, the XL750 Transalp features a 270-degree crank and a new airbox which Honda claimed to offer a low-end beat and top-end howl.

However, the ride-by-wire system has been explicitly tuned to best suit the bike’s touring and off-road ability.

Electronically, the XL750 Transalp gets four riding modes (Sport, Standard, Rain and Gravel and User), each of which can be selected while on the fly thanks to a lefthand switch cube.

MOT Proposing Separate Motorcycle Lanes On Every State And Federal Roads

Video Wanita Menunjukkan Kereta Langgar Lampu Merah di Laluan Pejalan Kaki

Seorang wanita berang apabila mengalami sendiri bagaimana pemandu Malaysia tidak mengambil kira lintasan pejalan kaki semasa dia berjalan di jalanan bersama keluarganya di Kuala Lumpur

Menerusi Facebook menceritakan pengalamannya, ibu itu berkata mereka memutuskan untuk berjalan kaki dari hotel ke pusat beli-belah Suria KLCC.

“Apabila tiba di persimpangan pejalan kaki, kami terkejut apabila tiada satu kereta pun berhenti walaupun lampu isyarat pemandu merah,” katanya.

“Nasib baik, kanak-kanak itu tidak segera berlari ke seberang jalan.”

Dia juga merakam video kejadian itu, menunjukkan bagaimana pemandu memandu melepasi mereka tanpa memperlahankan kenderaan, apatah lagi berhenti.

Dalam video itu, ketika lampu pejalan kaki bertukar hijau dan dia hendak melintas jalan bersama anak-anaknya, sebuah motosikal memecut laju melepasi mereka.

Dia menjerit terkejut dan kecewa ketika pemandu lain terus memandu, tanpa menghiraukan lintasan pejalan kaki atau lampu isyarat, sehingga semua lapan saat untuk pejalan kaki melintas selesai.

“Selamat datang ke KL,” tulisnya sinis, sambil menambah bahawa mereka telah mengesahkan bahawa lampu isyarat untuk pemandu kenderaan memang berfungsi, tetapi pemandu secara terang-terangan mengabaikannya.

Melangkaui ihsan biasa untuk berhenti untuk pejalan kaki, pemandu kenderaan juga melanggar undang-undang, iaitu Akta Pengangkutan Jalan, apabila mereka tidak berhenti di lintasan pejalan kaki dengan lampu isyarat.

Video itu telah dikongsi secara meluas di seluruh Facebook, dengan rakyat Malaysia berkongsi rasa meluat mereka terhadap sikap pemandu kenderaan

“Mentaliti dunia ketiga. Tahniah, Malaysia,” komen seorang pengguna Facebook.

“Ia hanya mengambil masa lapan saat untuk menyeberangi jalan itu. Rasa empati semakin berkurangan sekarang,” kata seorang lagi.

Seorang lagi pengguna berkata, “Ya Allah, ibu saya selalu melintas jalan ini untuk pergi bekerja. Saya berdoa agar ibu saya sentiasa dilindungi. Ini sungguh ngeri untuk ditonton.”

Sementara itu, sesetengah netizen mencadangkan meletakkan penghadang boom atau boom laju di jalan raya untuk memaksa pemandu memperlahankan kenderaan.

“Letakkan penghadang boom seperti di lintasan kereta api. Tidak menghormati lintasan zebra langsung. Sedih,” kata seorang netizen.
