Children’s Commissioner Calls for Tighter Road Safety Laws Due to Rising Underage Motorcycle Accidents

Children’s Commissioner Calls for Tighter Road Safety Laws Due to Rising Underage Motorcycle Accidents

Children’s Commissioner Farah Nini Dusuki is advocating for stricter laws to protect children on the roads after a significant number of accidents involving underage motorcycle riders were reported. 

Between 2008 and 2021, 2,900 accidents involving children aged six to 15 were recorded, with 87 cases involving children aged six to 10 as motorcycle riders, not just pillion.

As reported by The Star, Farah Nini expressed her disbelief, saying, “I can’t understand how their feet manage to control the motorcycle, which is why the legal riding age is set at 16.” She underscored the need for stricter road safety laws to tackle this issue.

Farah Nini also called for updates from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) on a proposed “B3” motorcycle license category, which would limit 16 to 20-year-olds to electric bikes and low-powered mopeds. She endorsed this proposal, initially suggested by the police in 2021.

Recent tragic incidents underscore the urgency of her call. On August 15, two 13-year-old boys lost their lives while performing stunts in Shah Alam, and on August 10, a 12-year-old boy operating a three-wheeled motorcycle caused the death of a toddler in Kelantan. 

Farah Nini pointed out these cases as evidence of the need for better parental supervision and stricter laws to prevent such tragedies.
