Among the many myriad proposed amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333) announced by the ministry of transport today was a provision that might allow authorities to more effectively prosecute mat rempit, with specific rules against road racing and speeding. As with the opposite changes, it’ll be tabled in parliament on Monday, June 22.
The MoT said that the initiative goals to deal with instances of those offences and plug existing loopholes, in addition to providing a stronger legal basis to prosecute mat rempit. It argued that the road transport department (JPJ) previously had difficulty taking motion against offenders in the event that they didn’t cause accidents or posed any immediate danger to the general public.
The agency said it’s henceforth adopting a zero-tolerance policy against road racing and speeding. What do you think that – do you are feeling that the move will help curb these errant motorists? Tell us within the comments.
