JPJ wants heftier penalties for offences


Road Transport Department director-general Datuk Seri Nadzri Siron

PETALING JAYA: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) wants motorists who beat the red light, use a cellphone while driving, don’t wear a seat belt or cut queue on the roads to be hit with stiffer penalties.

It also wants drivers of commercial and public transport vehicles caught hogging the fast lane to suffer increased penalties as well, said JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Nadzri Siron (pic).
