Johor JPJ seeks p-hailing operators’ help to curb repeat offences, especially running red lights

The Johor Road Transport Department will meet p-hailing operators to discuss road safety measures and address repeat offences such as running red lights.

State JPJ director highlighted the need for operators to develop mechanisms to raise riders' awareness and mentioned that demerit points will be imposed on repeat offenders.

Proactive measures from operators are required, and current statistics show motorcyclists account for a significant portion of accidents and fatalities.

JOHOR BAHRU, Oct 14 — The Johor Road Transport Department (JPJ) will meet p-hailing operators to discuss measures to raise riders’ awareness of road safety and curb repeat traffic offences, particularly running red lights.

State JPJ director Zulkarnain Yasin said the department had received numerous complaints about traffic offences involving p-hailing riders, particularly running red lights, captured in dashboard camera footage.

According to him, operators should play a role in developing appropriate mechanisms to raise riders’ awareness, remind them not to repeat offences and prevent accidents.

“Through the meeting, I want to find out whether operators have policies to prevent, restrict or suspend riders from operating,” he said in an interview with Bernama here today.

He said JPJ also imposed demerit points on road users who repeatedly committed offences such as running red lights, in addition to issuing summonses.

Zulkarnain said operators also needed to take proactive measures, adding that responsibility should not rest entirely with the authorities.

“Those who run red lights will be given demerit points. Once they accumulate 20 points, their driving licences will certainly be suspended.

“That is one of the measures we take, but we want to know whether p-hailing operators have their own methods that could help us,” he said.

According to him, road accident records and studies showed that motorcyclists accounted for between 60 and 70 per cent of accidents and fatalities.

He said the department continued to strengthen enforcement, particularly in accident-prone areas, as part of its key performance indicators (KPIs) to reduce road accidents.

JPJ was also obtaining the latest statistics on accidents involving p-hailing riders from the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) in conjunction with the planned meeting, he added. — Bernama

柔佛州陆路交通局将与网约车经营者会面，讨论道路安全措施，并处理闯红灯等屡次违规行为。

州陆路交通局局长强调，运营商需要制定机制来提高骑手的安全意识，并提到将对屡犯者处以扣分。

运营方需要采取积极主动的措施，目前的统计数据显示，摩托车驾驶员在事故和死亡人数中占很大比例。

新山，10月14日讯——柔佛州陆路交通局（JPJ）将与网约车运营商会面，讨论提高骑手道路安全意识和遏制屡次违反交通规则（特别是闯红灯）的措施。

州陆路交通局局长祖卡纳因·亚辛表示，该部门已收到大量关于网约车司机违反交通规则的投诉，特别是闯红灯的违规行为，这些行为都被行车记录仪拍了下来。

他认为，运营商应该在制定适当机制方面发挥作用，以提高骑手的意识，提醒他们不要再次违规，并防止事故发生。

“我想通过这次会议了解运营商是否有相关政策来阻止、限制或暂停骑手运营，”他今天在接受马新社采访时表示。

他表示，陆路交通局除了开具传票外，还会对屡次闯红灯等违法行为的道路使用者处以扣分。

Zulkarnain表示，运营商也需要采取积极措施，并补充说，责任不应完全由当局承担。

“闯红灯者将被记分。一旦累计达到20分，其驾驶执照肯定会被吊销。”

“这是我们采取的措施之一，但我们想知道网约车运营商是否有自己的方法可以帮助我们，”他说。

据他所说，道路交通事故记录和研究表明，摩托车驾驶员占交通事故和死亡人数的 60% 至 70%。

他表示，作为减少道路交通事故的关键绩效指标 (KPI) 的一部分，该部门将继续加强执法力度，尤其是在事故多发地区。

他还补充说，陆路交通局（JPJ）正在向马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）索取有关网约车司机事故的最新统计数据，以便配合此次会议的召开。——马新社
