Industry Players Welcome Real-Time Enforcement Against Overloaded Heavy Vehicles

PETALING JAYA: The proposed system to allow real-time enforcement against overloaded heavy vehicles will help prevent other types of related violations, say industry players.

Malaysia Trucking Federation president Datuk Ng Koong Sinn said the system would be good for all parties provided that it is implemented consistently. Ng was responding to the announcement made by the Transport Ministry that a system allowing real-time enforcement against overloaded heavy vehicles is currently in the works.

Currently, the weight and load of lorries are manually measured at weighing stations and require a certain level of manpower.Malaysia Tipper Lorry Operator’s Association secretary-general Tan Boon Hing asked the ministry to reveal more information regarding the system. Tan also said heavy trucks and lorries would find alternative ways to avoid the system if it is deployed on major highways.“This will be more dangerous for motorists on those routes,” he said.
