KUALA LUMPUR: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is studying a police proposal to introduce a new licensing category for youths aged 16 to 20, to only ride motorcycles with a capacity of 70cc and below by 2025.
Its director-general, Datuk Zailani Hashim, said that the matter would be discussed in detail with Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research and the Public Works Department before any decision is made.
“The proposal was made due to the increase in the number of accidents and deaths involving high-powered motorcyclists involving youths, aged between 16 and 20 years,” he said.
He was commenting on a report that the police had proposed to introduce a new licensing category for youths by 2025.
In another development, he said that JPJ would launch a MyQ system that aims to reduce customer congestion at its premises. A pilot project would be carried out this month at selected JPJ branches.
The system would enable customers to browse the JPJ website and pick up a queue number.
