Government to enforce mandatory anti-lock braking system on motorcycles

A study is underway to determine if the Government should make it mandatory for all new motorcycles above 150cc to have anti-lock braking systems.

The Malaysian government is considering a proposal to make the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) function mandatory on motorcycles 150cc and above.

The matter was informed by the Minister of Transport, Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.

According to him, the enforcement of the ABS system will be detailed once the Malaysian Road Safety Research Institute (MIROS) completes the study.

MIROS was given a period of six months to complete the study before the implementation took effect within two years from the date the results of the study were released.

Wee Ka Siong added that the study was comprehensive and involved all parties, including the motorcycle manufacturing industry and consumer representatives.

“The same time period will be used to amend existing rules for mandatory ABS installation.

“With the mandatory installation of ABS later, it is hoped that motorcycle safety will be increased and the probability of death will be further reduced,” Dr Wee said during the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Miros Provisional CRASE Crash Centre (PC3) yesterday.

Based on the study conducted by MIROS so far, the presence of an ABS motorcycle pad system can reduce the percentage of accidents and deaths of motorcyclists by up to 30 per cent.

“Among the main factors of motorcycle accidents in Malaysia are the motorcycle skidding on its own or failing to dodge while riding.

“Ineffective braking systems are one of the causes of accidents. Thus, the use of a better and more effective braking system is highly recommend and encouraged in our search for solutions to end motorcycle accidents,” he said.

“ABS is increasingly becoming a trend in motorcycle safety technology, especially with low engine capacity motorcycles which constitute the majority of motorcycles here.”

ABS is a system that helps in preventing the motorcycle from slipping and losing control, especially during sudden braking.

“I understand this motorcycle airbag technology is still under development and needs to undergo various tests to validate the potential of these airbags in shielding motorcyclists from serious injury during accidents.

“I am very excited and fully support the development of this technology. I’m sure Miros will also support and work with Autoliv on developing this,” he said.
