GEORGE TOWN: Harsher penalties are needed against vehicle owners who allow unlicensed individuals to use their vehicles, says the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP).

Its education officer N.V. Subbarow said it was shocking to learn that 55,000 vehicle owners have allowed unlicensed individuals to drive their vehicles on the road.

Subbarow said the longer the delay in taking action, the higher chances that the number of unlicensed individuals would rise and accident rates could go up. On Saturday , the Road Transport Department said that a total of 55,000 vehicle owners were found to have allowed unlicensed individuals to drive their vehicles from January to May this year.

"According to JPJ's latest observations and analysis, there has been no significant change in attitude and responsibility among vehicle owners on the matter in the last four years," he said.

Parents are definitely responsible if they knowingly let their unqualified kids drive but if kids did it without their parents'knowledge e.g drive friend's cars then it's on the kid and their friends perhaps even the car owner.
