The Jerudong Police District launched the 'Road Traffic Awareness Campaign' on Saturday afternoon by carrying out a roadblock at the Jalan Mulaut-Limau Manis road in Kg Mulaut. Around 10 Royal Brunei Police Force personnel led by the District Traffic Officer were involved.

The main aim of such inspections was to raise awareness among road users about the importance of obeying traffic rules and regulations.

Written warning were also handed out to motorists caught breaking minor traffic laws that included modifying their cars, broken licence plates, tainted windows and window sunshades. Motorists who were issued warning letters will be given a grace period to rectify the matter accordingly. The inspection also sought to apprehend major traffic offenders including expired road tax and driving without a valid licence.

The campaign, which is held in conjunction with the 83rd Anniversary of RBPF, is expected to last for two weeks until February 7.
