“Motorcyclists remain one of the most vulnerable road users. Strengthening their safety awareness, riding skills, and knowledge of traffic laws is essential,” he said.
Hasbi highlighted this during the recent Safe Riding Clinic which was held in conjunction with the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR) 2024 which aimed at equipping motorcyclists with practical skills to handle emergencies and make informed decisions on the road.
He further noted that, “the Safe Riding Clinic is not just about riding techniques; it’s a comprehensive approach to fostering safer roads for everyone,” and that the government is urging all road users to play their part in fostering a culture of safety and responsibility.
Hasbi's statement during WDoR 2024 was delivered by Road Transport Department deputy director-general (Planning and Operations), Datuk Jazmanie Shafawi.
