KUALA TERENGGANU: The Terengganu Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued 746 summonses for various offences over the first two days of the Special Hari Raya Aidiladha Operation (Ops HRAA) 2025, which runs from June 4 to 10.
Its director, Zamri Samion, said the summonses were issued following inspections of 6,006 vehicles, including lorries, buses, motorcycles, cars and other private vehicles.
He said the most common offences involved motorcyclists not wearing helmets and failing to stop at red lights.
"Other offences included registration numbers not complying with specifications, tyre issues and illegal vehicle modifications.
"In the first two days of operation, we also seized 25 vehicles, including a lorry with serious technical issues involving its tyres, lack of insurance and expired road tax,' he said during Ops HRAA 2025 at the Sultan Mahmud Bridge here on Thursday (June 5) night.
Zamri said 110 JPJ enforcement personnel in Terengganu were involved in Ops HRAA this time, with a focus on seven major offences that contribute to accidents.
These offences are speeding, running red lights, overtaking on double lines, driving on the emergency lane, reckless overtaking or blocking others from overtaking, queue-jumping, and using mobile phones while driving.
"We are also targeting a 25 per cent reduction in accident rates and a 10 per cent drop in fatalities during this operation,' he added.- Bernama
