Police bosses slammed motorcycle gangs who block roads and threaten them with hefty fines. Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri from the traffic enforcement department warned bikers they could pay between RM1,000 and RM5,000 if caught. The cops can also throw troublemakers in jail for up to one year. Motorcycle groups must tell police about their rides before hitting the road. Officers need to coordinate these convoys to keep everyone safe.

Bikers cannot use fake escorts or marshals to control traffic during their rides. Police banned these unofficial traffic controllers completely. Groups that want to ride together must follow all traffic rules if they get no official police help. The warning comes after a viral video showed dozens of motorcycles riding on the North-South Expressway. Several people wearing yellow safety vests acted like traffic cops during the ride.

The massive convoy happened at KM 285 near Nilai in Negeri Sembilan while heading south from Kuala Lumpur. Police identified the location and the group involved in the incident. The top traffic cop told all road users to be patient and considerate with each other. Slow vehicles must stick to the left lane and avoid blocking faster cars. Everyone including walkers, cyclists and drivers must cooperate and follow traffic laws on highways, state roads and city streets.
