The running of red lights is unfortunately a frequent occurence, with among the latest instances captured on camera by Instagram user faiz.aziz.
Through the footage, we have counted up to 34 motorcycles which were seen running the red light at the intersection of Jalan Sungai Buloh and the DASH highway, heading towards Subang Skypark near Subang Perdana. While all of the aforementioned motorcycles passed through the intersection without incident, there clearly remains risk presented in doing so as traffic joining has the right of way.
Last year, police issued a total of 95,298 summonses from January to November 2024 for red light running offences, and car drivers recorded the highest number with 44,889 summonses issued, followed by motorcyclists (39,468), lorry drivers (3,937) and other vehicles (7,004).
That is, when road users are caught committing the offence, and while car drivers top motorcyclists on this count, the video posted demonstrates otherwise, at least in that instance.
Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department (JSPT) director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said last year that the department is collaborating with other government agencies, including local authorities, to ensure that red light violations are acted on under Section 79(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The penalty, if found guilty, is a fine of not less than RM300 and not more than RM2,000.
