Lokman further stressed that drivers would need to take responsibility for their own and others' safety by complying to speed restrictions. By doing so it would drastically lower daily accident rates and fatalities, particularly during the holiday season.

He made these statements during a press briefing during an Integrated Motorcycle Operations, which took place in Meru Raya over the festive season leading to 1,464 motorcycles being seized.

Furthermore, Lokman reported that the JPJ issued 26,313 notices to road users for noncompliance with road safety requirements during the statewide Special Motorcycle Ops held between April 1 and 6.
