Spike in heavy vehicles hogging fast lane raises alarm


SEREMBAN: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has raised the alarm over a rising number of heavy vehicles illegally using the right-most lane on highways, which not only breaches traffic laws but also increases the risk of serious accidents.

JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said there has been a steady increase in the number of goods service vehicles (KPB) and public service vehicles (KPA) using the fast lane, with 800 cases recorded last year. As of April this year, 220 summonses have been issued for the same offence.
