HULU SELANGOR: The actions of certain luxury car drivers and high-powered motorcycle riders who use the Jalan Ulu Yam Bharu-Sungai Tua route in Batang Kali as a 'circuit' to test the performance of their vehicles have backfired as they were detained during the Ops Samseng Jalanan today.
The operation, conducted by the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPT) of the Hulu Selangor police headquarters took place from 7.00am to 10.00am today, and resulted in the issuance of 40 summonses for various offences.
District police chief Superintendent Ahmad Faizal Tahrim said the operation was carried out to curb and prevent traffic violations in the area.
"Among the offences committed were overtaking on double lines, exceeding speed limits, driving without a licence, and using mobile phones while driving.
"However, no vehicles were seized, and no drivers were detained during this operation," said Faizal.
He said that monitoring revealed Jalan Ulu Yam Bharu-Sungai Tua is a popular route for convoys of drivers and motorcyclists, with some driving dangerously.
"So far, the police have not received any reports of racing, but we will continue to monitor the situation.
"Drivers and motorcyclists are reminded to drive as safely as possible, adhere to traffic laws, and not be selfish," said Faizal.
