IT is good of theSun to highlight this problem of drivers flouting traffic rules. All drivers are equally guilty of this and it all boils down to enforcement. If one can have hundreds of summonses and still be driving on the road  what does it say of the enforcement.

To top it all offenders are offered discounts to get them to settle their summonses and if you know someone inside your summonses can be waived or the compounds reduced drastically. So why worry break all the rules because no  one will come after you. If the authorities are strict we will see some improvement.

Maybe the paper should publish an article on yellow boxes and motorcyclists taking off before the lights can change to green.

What about the latest fad of motorcyclists riding on the pavement and road dividers and expecting pedestrians to give way? This often happens at the Jalan P Ramlee  and Jalan Sultan Ismail traffic light junction in Kuala Lumpur. I have seen many tourists shaking their heads in disbelief.
