Set sensible food delivery deadlines for riders, p-hailing service providers told

Tough balancing act: The presence of large vehicles on urban roads poses a high risk to riders’ safety, as motorcycles offer no structural protection against the impact of such vehicles, leaving riders vulnerable to severe injuries or even death. — AZHAR MAHFOF/ The Star

PETALING JAYA: While we all want our food to be delivered hot and quickly to our homes, the short delivery deadlines of these orders are putting severe strain on p-hailing riders, who allegedly violate traffic laws to make it on time, say representatives of delivery groups.

Malaysia E-Hailing Drivers Association president Daryl Chong said riders face the highest risk of getting involved in an accident due to the need to make quick deliveries.
