GUA MUSANG: About 70% of fatal accidents recorded between April 1 and 26, involved motorcyclists and pillion riders, says Kelantan police chief, Datuk Muhamad Zaki Harun.
“This percentage is based on 40 fatal accidents that occurred in the state. Motorcyclists contributed the most, with 29 out of 31 fatalities,” he said.
“We conduct operations regularly to find out the causes and found motorcyclists are performing stunts such as wheelies, which can endanger their own lives and others,” he told Bernama after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house at Dewan Tanjung, Gua Musang District police headquarters, on Saturday night.
Muhamad Zaki said several areas frequented by these motorcyclists have been identified, and police are monitoring their dangerous activities.
