Road safety experts say mandatory speed limiters on heavy vehicles can reduce accident risks and improve safety for all road users. Experts believe speed limiters can lower fatality and injury rates by 10% to 30% by controlling vehicle speeds. This follows a recent accident involving a bus carrying students, and a government announcement of a new policy. Countries like Singapore and China have seen positive results with speed limiters, but success in Malaysia will depend on strict enforcement and regular audits to prevent tampering.
