PETALING JAYA: With traffic accidents happening once every 60 seconds, road safety experts suggest that motorists be provided “incentives” to improve their behaviour on the road.
Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research chairman Dr Wong Shaw Voon said that current enforcement and advocacy efforts might be insufficient to deal with the situation.“This is not only an unnecessary loss of lives but also a loss in national productivity as most of those killed are in the prime of their lives,” he said.
“Riders that obey the regulations can be rewarded, and those who don’t should be guided to become safer riders,” he added. Their employers or the government should also introduce a reward or incentive scheme for motorcyclists who remain accident-free for a specific duration, he added. “We do not condone or accept cases or claims that involve reckless and inconsiderate ehailing drivers.In view of the higher number of vehicles on the road nowadays, Chong called for a stricter syllabus for obtaining a driving licence so that a new generation of drivers is aware that they could be “behind the wheels of a killer machine” if they were careless.“New drivers should be exposed to defensive driving techniques, which can be very helpful when facing danger,” he said.
