Govt mulling mandatory anti-lock braking system for motorcycles


PETALING JAYA: A study is being done to determine if the Government should make it mandatory for all new motorcycles above 150cc to have anti-lock braking systems (ABS), says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

He said the Transport Ministry and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) will conduct a detailed study on mandating the ABS technology, which is capable of reducing accidents and deaths involving motorcyclists up to 30%, according to Miros' studies.
