  • A total of 850 traffic summonses were issued by the Police and JPJ to motorcyclists at two different locations yesterday.

  • Offences include not using the motorcycle lane, riding without license, expired road tax, among others.

  • The number of offences is mind-bogging, to say the least.

Guthrie Corridor Highway

The Malaysian Traffic Police issued 232 summonses in just 3 hours to motorcyclists who did not use the motorcycle lane at Kilometre-2.5 of the Guthrie Corridor Highway. The news was reported by Kosmo! Online yesterday.

The Police sting was part of the Ops Selamat in conjunction with the Chinese New Year road safety campaign, which also involved the Road Transport Department (JPJ). While the number of motorcycle lane defaulters amounted to 232 summonses, a total of 375 were issued including other offences.

While the operations were conducted, there were several hardcore law breakers who turned back and rode against traffic flow to escape the roadblock. The Police resorted to chasing them down on their motorcycles.

One motorcyclist who rode 100 metres against traffic was chased down and found riding without a valid license.

Jalan Duta Toll Plaza

In a separate JPJ operation at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza, a total of 475 summonses were issued while another 15 motorcycles were impounded from 9pm to 12 midnight. Offences range from not possessing valid license, not wearing a helmet, using non-regulation number plates and expired road tax.

850 summonses in the space of 3 hours each at two locations is an outrage! Where is this? Afghanistan? This is beyond alarming. What would other vehicle owners think of motorcyclists if this continues? And yet some motorcyclists are critical of how others drive.

While we do not like using the motorcycle lanes due to being shoddily designed and maintained, we still do use them when available. The need of doing so is due to both the law and safety from having to share space with larger vehicles.

Riding without valid license or road tax are offences because there is no insurance cover in case one gets into an accident. However, mishap or otherwise, the law is the law. Our roads will descend into utter chaos and anarchy if no one obeys traffic laws!

  • The Malaysian police have caught the Singaporean bikers with taped up number plates.

  • Malaysian Inspector-General of the Police confirmed the news

  • They paid up their summons.

PDRM caught the Singaporeans bikers who taped up their bikes’ number plates yesterday.

PDRM showed a radar gun picture of a Suzuki Hayabusa travelling at 253 km/h, although they did not specify where the group was stopped.

Another picture of a PDRM highway patrol car stopped in front of the motorcycles outside a petrol station shop. The bikers were seen taking selfies and smiling nonchalantly.

The next set of photos saw them paying up their summons at a PDRM payment counter. We assume they were escorted to the nearest police station.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun confirmed that the group were Singaporeans and the dashcam video was caught in Johor Bahru. “We have taken action against those bikers involved, regardless if they are locals, what more foreigners,” he added during a media press conference yesterday.

The Royal Malaysian Police had set up roadblocks and speed traps on Malaysia’s main highways and roads in conjunction with the Chinese New Year. Major celebrations in the country always sees the exodus of thousands of Malaysians to their hometowns and holiday destinations. So, it was foolhardy to pull such a “trick.”

This unruly bunch were lucky they didn’t get involved in accidents and causing even more difficulties to highway users during this busy time.

In any case, well done, PDRM.

  • Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) has again warned that marshals are not to direct traffic during convoys.

  • Marshals can only exist with Traffic Police escort.

  • Also, convoy organizers must apply for the right to convoy with the Traffic Control Division (Bahagain Kawalan Lalulintas).

Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) has once again reminded that marshals in motorcycle convoys are prohibited against stopping or directing traffic.

The post in PDRM’s official Facebook page also stated that the use of marshals in competitions, convoys or programs on public roads must be accompanied by the Traffic Police.

Members of the public or road user are considered in violation of this specific order if they request right of way, stop traffic, redirect traffic or other such activities.

Furthermore, ride marshals are not allowed without the presence of police escorts. Marshals are also not allowed to direct traffic in the presence of police escorts. Rather, the marshals’ duties are to ensure the ride participants adhere to traffic rules.

The police will act against individuals who attempt to control traffic flow without police escort under Section 21 of the Police Act (1967) or Section 79(2) Road Transport Act (1987).

Bikes Republic has also placed a called to the PDRM’s Traffic Control Division (Bahagian Kawalan Lalulintas) at their headquarters in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur to seek confirmation on the matter. The need to apply for organizing convoys has existed for many years.

We were told that every motorcycle convoy must be applied to the aforementioned division ahead of time for approval. Besides that, Traffic Police escort is specifically for matters of national importance, thus escort for motorcycle convoys is due to the discretion of the PDRM.

Bahagian Kawalan Lalulintas can be reached at 03-22663358. You may submit your applications by hand to:
