00:00Enforcement of the use of speed limiters in heavy vehicles will be carried out in three phases,
00:08with the first stage set for October, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
00:12The enforcement exercise will begin with the verification of speed limiters and their activation,
00:18with full implementation by July next year.
00:22Under the first phase, heavy commercial vehicles registered after January 1, 2015,
00:27must obtain verification that their speed limitation devices are functional before October.
00:34He said this applies to all tour buses and express buses,
00:37and heavy vehicles with a maximum weight of over 3,500 kilograms.
00:42We do it by phases, because this regulation only comes into effect in 2015.
00:49So, all cars, all vehicles after 2015 must have this device SLD.
00:58But, whether or not they have activated,
01:02I mean, in the past 10 years, we haven't checked.
01:04So, right now, we want to ensure that they have to prove that,
01:08even though that we have this regulation since 10 years ago.
01:11But, whether or not it has been implemented or activated on their buses or their vehicles,
01:17I mean, only they themselves know.
01:19So, right now, we have to ensure that they do it, they activate it.
01:23So, this is the first phase.
01:24This is the immediate phase in the next three months.
01:27Because there is no reason for them to say that,
01:30oh, I need more time.
01:31Because the device should be in their cars, in their vehicles.
01:35And they should activate it.
01:37So, right now, we just ask them to verify it to the authorities.
01:41Then, the next stage is for those vehicles which do not have this SLD before,
01:47which was not compulsory.
01:48So, that needs some time for retrofit and all that.
01:51So, that will come by next year.
01:53What is the penalty if the vehicle don't fit the SLD before after the daylight?
02:00They cannot be on the road.
02:02They cannot be operate.
02:03If they are still caught on the road, they have penalty.
02:05Then, they will be charged.
02:07Yeah.
02:08They will be charged according to the law.
02:11It's not penalty anymore.
02:13They can be charged on the road.
02:14Kalau katakan, dia tak ada kelulusan Puspakom mumpamanya.
02:18Dan dia beroperasi.
02:20The heaviest penalty will be the entire,
02:23the resip pengendari akan dibatalkan.
02:26The verification could be obtained from the vehicle manufacturer,
02:29technical service providers,
02:31workshops and service facility providers
02:33recognized by the road transport department.
02:37It may also be obtained from standards department accredited bodies
02:40that are recognized by the JPJ.
02:53of course, with the
03:01issues that have provided both of the 911 elements.
