IPOH: The Works Ministry is considering banning motorcyclists from expressways if they continue to be a nuisance on the road.
Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu issued the warning yesterday after witnessing superbikes travelling on the North-South Expressway at 170kph.
“The expressway is not a place for motorcycle races. They must abide by the law,” he told reporters after visiting the new Sungai Perak bridge on the Ipoh-Lumut highway in Bota, some 50km from here.
Samy Vellu added that he wanted to meet representatives of motorcycle clubs and associations on the matter.
“I will talk to them first. However, if the problem persists, the ministry will ban all motorcyclists from using expressways,” he said.
The current regulations, he said, did not stop them from using the expressways.
Samy Vellu also warned motorists to be aware of the 16 police observation towers on federal roads across the country.
The 16 new observation towers, costing RM1mil, were completed in early June this year and handed over to the police on June 28.
What? After all the things that motorcyclists have done, he wants to ban them from the highways for speeding? What a jackass. That's far and wide not even in the top 10 list of the most dangerous things that motorcyclists do on the road.
E.g. that Harley-Davidson that decided that it would be a good idea to go the wrong way on the Kerinchi Link around a blind corner. He was so lucky that I wasn't going very fast (shut up. sometimes it's true) at the time.
The other thing is, what observation towers? Where are these observation towers?
