Riders should be given first reminders, followed by cutting their monthly incentives and finally termination, if they don’t comply with traffic rules.

Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research board member Wong Shaw Voon said information technology specialists employed by delivery companies could monitor the riders. He suggested the riders be given first reminders, followed by cutting their monthly incentives and finally termination, saying that such a move will ensure riders follow rules and adhere to all safety protocols that the companies claim to practice.

Wong, who also sits on the panel of experts at the United Nations Road Safety Fund, said motorcycles remain the most dangerous mode of transport, with studies showing it is 50 times more dangerous than taking public transport and up to 15 times more dangerous than cycling.
