The authorities are not consistent when it comes to enforcement. That is why people do as they like on the roads.

The government Automotive Policy is actually compromising the safety of car owners/users of our Rakyat in order to help enrich certain quarters.Why?
1. Cars price are expensive (because of tax and AP)
Due to the car price factor, most of the rakyat can only afford to buy smaller cars. Small cars are not fit for long distance travelling. But people have no choice because they can't afford bigger and safer cars. Just make some observations, normally there will be many casualties when an accident happened, due to the fact that many Malaysian families are having "big family". One proton Saga can fit in the parents, and 5 kids....just imagine....
2. Malaysians travel long distance
when we travel long distance, it's safer to use bigger and stable car which has safety features such as air bag for both front and back passengers. Bigger CC also represent more powerful car, this is not for racing (of course the traffic enforcement should go after those who try to race), but it's useful to travel if you are using the East-West Highway (which did not look like a highway, with all the potholes, etc, be ready to spare money for your tyre rim!!), where your life lies on 1 or 2 second difference while overtaking a vehicle does count.
3. Compromising safety when the government allowed the sale of reconditioned car, and reconditioned car is not cheap, the price can be as expensive as new car. With the affordability that the people have, they can actually afford to get a new car, instead of recondition car. We do not know the safety level for these reconditioned car. Why we as rakyat have to compromise our safety, pay AP to importers, just to get a sub-standard car?
Can't government reverse the policy, say, We malaysian, are allowed to used a new car up to say 5 years. and let the AP holders buy all thsese 5 years old car, reconditioned them and export them to other third world countries instead? Moving towards Developed country status by 2020, we can't afford to have this kind of policy that compromising our own people's safety.
Come on government, let's put the safety of the people first, crony's wealth the last, and who cares about proton, even a child need to be born after 9 months in the mother's womb, now you are old enough to be independent, don't ask rakyat to sacrifice their lives anymore.

Mr Tan, Malaysian roads are a very dangerous place to be in. Most of our drivers are very selfish, egoistic, rude, careless, cocky, stupid...and the lack of enforcement makes it worse. So be prepared for more stones in your windscreen...

I am a frequent PLUS highway user travelling from Alor Setar North Toll to Sintok daily. Recently I had very bad experience on the highway. Just imagine last month (November) and this month (December), I encountered TWO incidents of quarry stone smashed onto my car windscreen, last month my Honda Civic car windsreen broke. and a few days ago, my new car (this new car i drive not even 1 month old on the road) windscreen was broken due to quarry stone again. The stone flew from the lorry that carrying it. From my observation, there are many many lorries carrying quuarry stones using the stretch of the road that I travel daily. And it seems that no enforcement by the authority (JPJ or the traffic) to monitor and issue summons for these lorries that are overloaded. Not that they are overload, they are very very fast on the road. Where they should be on the left lane, more than often they tried to overtake other vehicles and ther are on the right lane.
I made a call to my car workshop asking about the windscreen replacement, according to the workshop chief, this month (december) itself they had about 17 similar cases. That's for one workshop, how about other workshops? How many more cases like this they have? According to him, there's no more safety when travelling on highways, and i do agree....I can't be so unlucky to get two windscreen broken incidents in less that two months time?

Thank you Mr Raj. Yes, enforcement is weak and not consistent. Selfish and irresponsible drivers are also to blame. It is a potent combination.
