KUALA LUMPUR - Errant motorists, beware! You are being watched. There may be no roadblocks, uniformed policemen or even traffic observation towers - but that car parked by the roadside after a "breakdown" could well be a plainclothes officer.

Road Transport Department director-general Datuk Solah Mat Hassan warned that there would be "eyes" everywhere to help reduce accidents and put a stop to reckless driving during the balik kampung rush, which will likely see about five million motorists on the road.

Roadblocks would also be in place where possible, as long as it does not worsen traffic congestion, he said.

"Plainclothes JPJ officials have been stationed since yesterday, especially at the 202 killer stretches nationwide. Some will also be in unmarked cars waiting to 'catch' errant motorists in action," he said after attending the launch of the integrated road safety campaign by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at KL Sentral yesterday.

Also present was Deputy Transport Minister Jelaing Mersat and Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh.

Motorists have also been encouraged to "tell on" reckless motorists on the road by snapping their pictures and e-mailing it to aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my or reporting to JPJ's 24-hour operations centre.

There would also be 24-hour patrols during the Hari Raya festive season with the focus being on the nine main causes of road accidents including failure to buckle up or wear helmets, driving over the speed limit, overtaking on double lines, cutting queues, beating the traffic lights, using the emergency lane, driving dangerously and overloading.
