GENTING HIGHLANDS: Catching errant drivers in the act with new technology, including better cameras, will be the difference between the new and previous demerit (Kejara) systems.

The previous manual system left room for drivers to dispute committing offences but this will no longer be the case with the new Awareness Automated Safety System (Awas), said Transport Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Saripuddin Kasim.
