Abstract

Road traffic accidents are a growing global tragedy. Therefore, road safety is always a matter of great concern as it relates to the livelihood and well-being of the people of Malaysia. As elsewhere in the world, causes of road accidents include vehicle failure, uneven roads, reckless driving, speeding, intoxication, lack of sleep, and more. Although the government has implemented laws, rules, and programmes to curb road accidents in Malaysia, citizens remain unsure of the potential risks posed by legal deficiencies. Therefore, the focus of this article is to bridge the gap between the legal framework and lingering public uncertainty regarding road safety in Malaysia, paving the way for the development of more effective strategies to create a safer transportation environment for all.
