IT was shocking to read the report “JPJ: Over 50,000 ride motorcycles to school without licences” (The Star, Feb 11) and that the response to the MyLesen programme has not been good.
Since the soft approach does not seem to work, it is time the authorities get tough with those riding or driving without a valid licence. If students are allowed to break the law at such a young age, they may continue to do so as they become older. It’s now common to see motorcyclists beating the red light, riding against traffic, not wearing a crash helmet and carrying more than one passenger.
