Running a red light was once associated with Mat Rempit. However, vehicles, buses, trucks, and trailers have all joined in on the harmful act.
The police and the Road Transport Department have been working to address this issue, as statistics reveal that the particular traffic offence are on the rise.
Although this traffic violation is currently categorized as violations of Rule 17 (LN 167/1959), which stipulates that they can result in a fine of up to RM2,000 or imprisonment of up to six months, police are investigating the prospect of making them non-compoundable offences.
In contrast to simply paying a fine, this would require offenders who run red lights to appear in court.
According to Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri, director of the Federal Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department, this is being considered as a way to combat the practice of drivers running red lights, which has led to several recent fatalities. TRaffik-Jala-Raya-Bernama-1.jpg
"This is one of our plans moving forward to take sterner action against errant motorists.

"It needs to be discussed with the Transport Ministry as there are legal aspects that need to be looked into before we can introduce this measure," he told NST.

According to data, there was an increase in traffic signal violations, with police issuing about 390,000 summonses to violators last year. In 2022 alone, 273,926 drivers received summonses from the police for the offense.
