KUALA LUMPUR: Cases of both vehicle theft and traffic accidents declined by over 10% in 2024 as more Malaysians wise up on road safety and vehicle security, says Vehicle Theft and Accident Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTAREC).
VTAREC chairman Datuk Lokman Jamaan said the number of road accidents, based on insurance industry statistics, declined to 266,716 cases in 2024 from 299,657 cases in 2023, a decrease of just under 11%.
