After announcing the Black Mamba team just last month, the Malaysian police force are continuing their efforts on ensuring that traffic flows smoothly with a new operation, titled \u2018Ops Garisan Putih\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n As the name suggests, \u2018Ops Garisan Putih\u2019 is a police operation designed to stop motorists from stopping their vehicles beyond the white line at a traffic stop.<\/span><\/p>\n Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) deputy director Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar said under Rule 38 of the Road Traffic Rules (LN166\/1959), motorists are not allowed to stop their vehicles beyond the white line, as it will obstruct pedestrian crossings.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe rules state that a motorist must not cause the vehicle or any part of the vehicle to stop in the crossing area unless he is prevented from moving by circumstances beyond his control or if he must stop to avoid an accident,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n And to deter motorists from continuing to commit this traffic infraction, motorists who are caught while doing so will be handed severe punishment.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAny individual who commits this offence can be fined not exceeding RM2,000 or imprisoned for a period not exceeding six months,\u201d said Datuk Mohd Nasri Omar.<\/span><\/p>\n The reason police are cracking down on motorists who stop their vehicles beyond the white line is due to the fact that the act may lead to road congestion.<\/span><\/p>\nRM2000 fine or six month’s jail term<\/h2>\n
