Don't block traffic, Bukit Aman warns motorcycle convoys
A recent video clip showing a group of motorcyclists riding in convoy on the North-South Expressway, escorted by several people in yellow safety vests. PETALING JAYA : Police have issued a stern warning that motorcycle convoys which obstruct other vehicles on the road will face legal action. Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department (JSPT) director Yusri Hassan Basri said those found guilty under Section 48 of the Road Transport Act 1987 can be fined between RM1,000 and RM5,000, face imprisonment of up to one year, or both. 'Every group movement or convoy must be reported to JSPT for coordination purposes, to ensure the safety of all road users. 'If a motorcycle convoy does not receive official security assistance from JSPT, it must fully comply with all traffic regulations. 'The use of escorts or marshals to control traffic during convoy movements is strictly prohibited,' Bernama reported him as saying today. The warning comes after a video clip showing a group of motorcyclists riding in convoy on a highway, escorted by several people in yellow safety vests, recently went viral. Yusri said the incident is believed to have involved a convoy travelling southbound from Kuala Lumpur at KM 285 of the North-South Expressway near Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. He said all road users must practise tolerance and consideration to ensure smooth traffic flow and mutual safety. 'All slow-moving vehicles must keep to the left lane and avoid obstructing faster vehicles,' he said.
