Call For Stricter Traffic Rules As Road Users See Red
By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - Concerned motorists have proposed increased fines or other tougher deterrence against speeding. They also believe that those who use the hand phones while driving must be dealt with tougher laws and penalties, according to a report in the Borneo Bulletin.

As the accident toll rises due to careless driving and utter disregard to traffic rules and regulations, there is a greater public demand as never before to deal with the offenders with stringent penalties, it reports.

Drivers who turn a blind eye to the existing laws must be dealt with severely according to concerned road users.

They urge the enforcement agencies to consider increasing fines on traffic violators, especially those who jump the red light, ignore the yellow box rule, failing to stop at zebra crossings and exceed the speed limits along the highway. Currently the fine for breaking the road regulation like speeding is a mere $50, which is far too little..

Several precautionary measures should be speedily implemented including the installation of cameras near the traffic lights to nab red light violators. (Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin)
