Federal traffic chief Senior Asst Comm II Datuk Gingkoi Seman Pancras pointed out that on Saturday alone, 11 out of 17 killed in road accidents were those riding motorcycles. He feels that the riders are not paying attention to the authorities' safety campaign targeted at them. “Motorcyclists must realise that they are vulnerable to accidents if they are not careful on the roads,” he said, adding that out of the 50 people killed during the five-day period, 30 were motorcyclists. “The next time you are on a motorcycle, please remember to fasten your helmet and also don't weave in and out of traffic. “Although the overall number of deaths so far has shown a reduction compared with the same period under Ops Sikap VII previously, I want to remind motorists to remain alert and get enough sleep before they start their journey,” he said. So far there were 3,281 accidents nationwide and SAC Gingkoi said most of them occurred between 4pm and midnight. He added that during the same period, police had issued 42,346 summonses and notices to motorists for various traffic offences. SAC Gingkoi said at any one time there would be about 2,500 to 3,000 personnel deployed throughout the country. “We also have deployed 78 General Operations Force personnel to man the highways and additional staff to monitor the trunk and state roads.” He said police expected traffic on the major highways to be heavy over the next few days. Meanwhile, Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Mohamed Isa Abdul Samad told Bernama that only 15% of children riding pillion on motorcycles in Kuala Lumpur wore crash helmets. “That is the scary finding of a study by the Road Safety Research Centre of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).'' Isa said only 85% of motorcyclists and 75% of pillion riders in the city wore helmets while on the roads. “The study also showed that in housing areas, only 60% of motorcyclists and less than 40% of pillion riders wear helmets,” he said when launching a crash helmet wearing campaign at Sri Perak public housing estate in the city yesterday.</blockquote>
