RTD senior enforcement director Datuk Lokman Jamaan said 95% of the offenders were driving between 130 kmph and 170 kmph, and the remaining 5% were driving exceeding 170 kmph.
“Drivers must take more responsibility for their safety and the safety of other road users by observing the prescribed speed limits.
