Police ticketed 9,200 motorists and impounded 320 vehicles<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): City traffic police have ticketed about 9,200
\nmotorists and impounded 320 vehicles for various traffic
\nviolations during their one-month operation which ended last
\nweek.<\/p>\n
"Many of the traffic violators were drivers of public
\ntransportation, such as drivers of Metromini and Mikrolet
\nminibuses and wide-bodied city buses" Lt. Col. K. Adjar Triadi,
\nhead of the city traffic investigation unit, told reporters
\nWednesday.<\/p>\n
"Most of them were ticketed for queue jumping, ignoring
\ntraffic signs or driving without proper vehicle documents in
\ntheir possession," he said.<\/p>\n
The operation, ended Thursday, was conducted by the city
\ntraffic police together with the City Land Transportation and
\nTraffic Control Agency (DLLAJ).<\/p>\n
"The main objective of this routine operation was to deal with
\nmotorists driving their vehicles in an aggressive manner which in
\nturn could endanger themselves and the lives of others," Adjar
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
As a follow-up to the operation, Lt. Col. Adjar said some 340
\ndrivers have been asked to take new driving tests before they
\nwere permitted to drive again.<\/p>\n
Adjar also urged transportation companies to be more selective
\nin employing new drivers because based on police findings many
\ntransportation firms in the city employ drivers with poor
\npersonal records at their previous firms.<\/p>\n
"The companies, at least, have to check and re-check on
\ntermination letters produced by the applicants when they are
\napplying for jobs in order to be sure that they are employing the
\nright persons," Adjar said. (bsr)<\/p>",
