Victoria government has planned to overhaul the motorbike license test in the effort to decrease the soaring number of toll experienced by motorbike riders. The injuries and fatalities of motorbike rider rose 14 % as compared with previous year despite of making up less than 4% of total vehicles registered last year. The scheme as proposed by the government includes:
· minimum number of supervised on-road hours before they are given a licence - either 25, 50 or 120 hours
· 3 years of using learner-approved motorcycles by new riders
· 120 hours of supervised driving before gaining a probationary licence
Roads Minister Tim Pallas alleged that he will conduct a public discussion for this glare issue to tally the scheme to meet both interest of public and government.
Comment:
This is a ultimately right move toward creating a more safety society. As we all know, motorbike riders face greater danger as compared with others road users. Hence it is vital to ensure appropriate driving skill and attitude of motorbike riders which will help to reduce the number of toll and injuries. To be honest, I also hope that Malaysian government will also overhaul the driving license test system in order to make our country more safety.
