Auto upgrade of Malaysian B2 bike licence to class B can have serious implications, say road safety experts

Proponents of road safety have called on the transport ministry to check the proposal to robotically upgrade the Malaysian B2 class motorcycle licence to a full B licence. This was since it involves the protection of motorcyclists in addition to that of society, the Recent Straits Times reports.

In line with Alliance for Protected Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, introducing an automatic upgrade could end in serious implications, given the high variety of fatalities in road mishaps involving motorcyclists. “As of late, we’re about 6,000 to 7,000 cases of road fatalities per 12 months, where greater than 68% of those cases involve motorcyclists,” he said.

He said the present driving test required for a bike licence upgrade is crucial, because it equips the motorcyclist with higher knowledge on learn how to handle a bigger, higher capability motorcycle. “Due to this fact, the transport ministry has to check this proposal very fastidiously, especially because it involves the general public’s safety,” he told the publication.

University Putra Malaysia associate professor Law Teik Hua agreed with Lee, saying that the general public could be put to higher risk if authorities decided to go ahead with the automated upgrade.

“I cannot see the rationale or profit behind these policy changes. Perhaps it is sweet news for motorcyclists, but what’s the profit to society? To be able to make sure that the motorcyclists know what they’re handling, it is best to undergo the exams and the standard procedures in getting the total B licence,” said the top of the university’s road safety research centre.

Law said provided that the country was facing many road deaths involving motorcyclists, addressing that was a more pressing matter. He said that as a substitute of introducing such a policy, the ministry should review and update its existing road transport syllabus required for automotive and motor licences.

“If our current syllabus is sufficient, how come we still have so many accidents happening? So, the numbers show that perhaps the syllabus was sufficient back then, if you don’t have high motorisation levels, but times have modified,” he told the NST.

He said that it was time to introduce recent features to the exam syllabus.”The present syllabus only ensures that you simply are adequate to drive a automotive or ride a bike, but there remains to be no module to make sure you are secure enough to operate these vehicles,” he said.
