KUASA RAKYAT

Road Safety Department’s (RSD), the ministry’s.

For now driving a car with age of 17 is fine. But riding a motorcycle with age of adult or older such as 18 is better. If not agree, small motorcycle is not allow in dangerous and heavy traffic area such as in the capital city in where some countries have implemented.

Why children came to their age of 16 needs personal motorcycle to school, how they go to school at the age before 16, illegally driving?
For children safety, it is parents responsibility. Why should parents risk their child life just because of their own convenience.

With our current road system, when a life is our concern, driving a car is much safer for a fresh driver than riding a motorcycle with flesh body.
We cannot compare the minimum age of riding motorcycle with oversea because of our environment and culture.

by lowering the minimum age to 14 is good. as a teacher, i notice some student have difficulties travelling to school and PT3 implementation need student to travel a lot to obtain information for their "kerja kursus" of Sejarah and Geography . It was quite a challenge for them to do so without relying on their parents or public transport as some destination is restricted to be access. By giving them (minor below age of 16) a chance to legally using their own transport, is a good way to support an independent society onward.However, for the assessment to obtain one, physical and emotional maturity of those interested should need to be look upon too and this shall be open for debate afterwards. i love competitive childhood and I've notice some minor nowadays have interest on motor sport. we all know "lumba haram" is now, a negative issue in our country and most participant on this activities is minors without legal licence thus the awareness of road safety is neglected. By providing them a proper road safety course during licence test, it might work to give them acknowledgement of proper ethics and awareness thus minimizing the minor to participating on such illegal activities on the road.

Definitely increase age for Car license. Minimum 18 with strict 2 year probation. Any serious misconduct should have permanent blacklist on Drivers license. Stricter enforcement in needed. Instead of speed traps in secret hideouts the priority should be education.

Age should be remain. But more strict probation should apply to ensure our young ones behave ethically behind wheels. Suggest to add ethical driving behaviour so that all road users will have harmonious environment. Dont forget many of us spend hours on the roads daily. Also emphazie safe driving, show statistic and picture on road accidents to instill responsibility yo drive safely. Include some defensive driving lessons is also good for emergencies

can remain same but suggest in order to get a license, individual must go through a comprehensive driving and SAFETY training and test. Current driving training contents must be review and revised to meet the current situation. Strongly stress on Safety issues and directly reduce road accident cases among young drivers...
