The police have issued 8,718 summonses as part of a postal summons operation for speeding dubbed Op Saman Ekor that began on Monday (August 21, 2023).
As reported by Bernama, Bukit Aman JSPT (traffic investigation and enforcement department) deputy director Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar revealed motorists (car drivers) accounted for the bulk of summonses issued with 8,352. Meanwhile, commercial and service vehicles recorded a total of 322 summonses, followed by motorcyclists with 44 summonses.
“A K170A summons notification for speeding will be delivered to the vehicle owner according to the driver’s licence address by registered post (as opposed to a summon on the spot). All (postal summonses) for speeding offences can be settled at any police district traffic offices in the country,” said Mohd Nasri.
The JSPT uses high-speed cameras to catch any driver violating the speed limit, with a RM300 compound being posted to the purported offender. Mohd Nasri added that driving above the speed limit is one of the main causes of road accidents in the country where speeding drivers fail to control the vehicle.
