OVER 100 vehicles were spotted and recorded driving on the emergency lane along the North-South Expressway from Johor Baru to Putrajaya in a four-hour period between 10am and 2pm today.

The Road Transport Department (RTD), in a statement today on its official Facebook account, said the offences were detected during the special traffic operation on all highways nationwide for the Chinese New Year period.

“The RTD wants to emphasise that this offence (driving on the emergency lane) is among the seven offences that will not be compoundable and will land you straight in court,” the statement said.

The seven offences are queue-cutting, overtaking on double lines, beating red lights, speeding, using a handphone while driving, not using a seatbelt or helmet, and driving on the emergency lane.

The RTD asked the public to obey road rules throughout the festive season to avoid congestion and fatal road accidents.
