I refer to the report Two notices for one traffic offence and I am still puzzled why no one seemed to raise the question why and how that so many traffic summonses have been issued in the first place.

After Sept 11, many of our politicians want the world to look at the root of the real problems leading to the events. Perhaps they should also investigate the root of the massive traffic offences in the country.

I have been driving for almost 30 years and proud to say, have been practically accident free not because I observe all the speed limits. If you drive to Kota Bahru via Gua Musang, you will find the roads relatively empty and I dare say certain stretches can be driven at around 130-150 km/h without any problem.

What is most annoying is when you find a stretch that seemed to be so safe to drive at 90 km/h a policeman steps out of the jungle to summon you ...Encik, di sini had laju nya hanya 70 km/jam! (Sir, the speed limit here is 70km/hr!)

It is really idiotic that the road that goes through a busy kampung or small town has a speed limit of 90 km/h while a road cutting through a jungle has a speed limit of 70 km/h. I was once stopped on such a road and summoned for a failed brake light. It would serve both the police and public better to allow me to rectify the problem immediately at the next town and confirm that it has indeed been repaired at its police station.

If our highways have a speed limit of 130 km/h, the number of summonses would be reduced drastically. Most of us who have driven above the speed limits are not aggressive drivers, nor do we want to endanger other road users. The people lining up to pay their summonses are mostly normal decent people.

Thelaw has been unfair, and the Malaysian public has been subjected to all sort of harassments, the question is for how long more can they endure the unfairness!
