JPJ TO ENFORCE SPEED LIMITER CHECKS ON BUSES, HEAVY VEHICLES FROM OCT 1

SHAH ALAM, June 13 — Tour and express buses, as well as heavy goods vehicles over 3,500kg registered from 2015 onwards, must have their Speed Limitation Device (SLD) checked and verified starting October 1, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said today.

He said the first phase of enforcement will involve checking if the SLDs are activated and working properly, with verification required every two years.

“These vehicles that were registered from January 1, 2015 are required to obtain the SLD functionality verification and report from the following parties – vehicle manufacturer or producer, technical service recognised by Road Transport Department, workshop recognised by JPJ, and accredited certification body recognised by JPJ.

“This SLD functionality verification and report document must be renewed every two years and brought along to the motor vehicle inspection centre and during the application or renewal of a permit with the Land and Public Transport Agency.

“This document must also be kept in the vehicle at all times for enforcement purposes by JPJ,” Loke told reporters after a work visit to the Scania (Malaysia) headquarters here.
