Spike in heavy vehicles hogging fast lane raises alarm
SEREMBAN: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has raised the alarm over a rising number of heavy vehicles illegally using the right-most lane on highways, which not only breaches traffic laws but also increases the risk of serious accidents. JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said there has been a steady increase in the number of goods service vehicles (KPB) and public service vehicles (KPA) using the fast lane, with 800 cases recorded last year. As of April this year, 220 summonses have been issued for the same offence. "This trend is worrying. When these vehicles are in the far-right lane, it means they are likely exceeding their speed limits, which are supposed to be between 80 and 90 kilometres per hour. "There is clear evidence that some are going over 100 km/h. This has been a key factor in many accidents involving heavy vehicles,' he said on Wednesday (May 28). Aedy was speaking to reporters during a roadside enforcement operation at the southbound rest area in Seremban, part of a broader crackdown on technical violations by commercial vehicles. Also present was Negeri Sembilan JPJ director Hanif Yusabra Yusuf. He said Rule 4A of the Road Traffic Rules 1959 prohibits heavy vehicles from using the right lane and stricter enforcement measures will be implemented to ensure better compliance. In a separate statement, Aedy said the JPJ will launch a nationwide enforcement campaign from June 4 to 10, in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidiladha holiday, targeting traffic law violations by road users. These include speeding, running red lights, overtaking on double lines, misuse of emergency lanes and queue-jumping, all of which fall under the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333). This will include special operations involving audits at bus depots and terminals, checks on goods vehicles, and inspections targeting motorcycles and technical safety. Aedy said the department remains committed to reducing road casualties and is working toward halving the number of deaths and serious injuries by 2030. - Bernama

Final Destination Bloodlines X Review: Fans Impressed By The Gore And Thrills
Last Updated: Instead of Death chasing random people, in Final Destination Bloodlines, it's now after an entire family that shouldn't exist. A decade-long wait has ended. The Final Destination franchise is back with Bloodlines, the sixth film in the popular horror series. The latest film follows the same idea as the original and its sequel, but with a new twist. Instead of Death chasing random people on a plane or at a theme park, it is now after an entire family that, according to Death, shouldn't exist. The makers took a long time to think carefully about this story and it seems like their hard work has paid off as X (formerly Twitter) users feel the franchise has pushed the limits even more this time. The movie goes back to where everything started. The story follows a college student named Stefanie, who keeps having scary dreams again and again. Worried about what it could mean, she returns to her hometown to find someone who might know how to stop what's coming. She hopes this person can help her break the pattern and protect her family from a terrible end. Admiring the latest film, a user wrote, 'I was quite satisfied with Final Destination Bloodlines. It had a unique concept and I enjoyed the opening disaster, it was a big action packed spectacle. The film had some gnarly kills and the cast did a Great job. Tony Todd received an emotional farewell that brought me to tears." I was quite satisfied w/ #FinalDestinationBloodlines.

Lorry driver, attendant nabbed for drug use during overloading op
MELAKA: A driver and attendant of goods service vehicles (KPB) were detained after testing positive for drugs during a special director's operation (overloading) conducted around Melaka from 10 pm yesterday until 9 am today. Melaka Road Transport Department (JPJ) deputy director Khairul Aswad Abdul Halim said the attendant of a lorry transporting bundled clothing from Kuala Lumpur was detained after a urine test found him positive for methamphetamine at about 11.30 pm at Jalan Tun Hamzah here. 'The lorry was stopped after being found to be overloaded with used clothing. Urine tests were carried out on both the driver and attendant by the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK), and the attendant tested positive for drugs. 'In the second case, a lorry driver, in his 40s, who was transporting corn from Port Klang to Jasin was also found to be positive for the same drug. Both have been detained,' he said in a statement today. He said 89 vehicles were inspected, of which 21 were ordered to undergo weighing during the operation which involved 25 JPJ and five AADK personnel. He said 19 of the vehicles were found to be overloaded, while one vehicle was within the limit and another failed to show up for weighing. Khairul Aswad said the driver who failed to attend the weighing session would be issued a notice under Section 63(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 via registered post. A total of 43 notices were issued for various offences to the inspected goods service vehicle drivers. 'Most KPB drivers found carrying overloaded cargo admitted to doing so to earn extra commissions or wages,' he said. Khairul Aswad also urged companies, owners and drivers of goods service vehicles to always comply with the regulations, including enhancing commercial vehicle operational safety to ensure that the road ecosystem is safe for other road users.
