The Belitung Police Traffic Unit (Satlantas) issued 272 ticket letters within two weeks or 10-23 July 2023.

Head of the Belitung Police Traffic Unit, Iptu Riris Tawan April Sianturi, the action was carried out during the 2023 Menumbing Obedient Operation (OPM).

"In addition, we issued 304 warning letters to motorists," he said in Tanjung Pandan, Bangka Belitung Province (Babel), Tuesday, July 25, which was confiscated by Antara.

He said, during the traffic operation (traffic) there were 3 traffic accidents with 1 death toll.

He said the number of traffic violators during Operation Patuh Menumbing 2023 decreased when compared to the previous year's implementation of 337 ticketing letters and 246 warnings.

"The number of traffic violators in the 2023 Menumbing Obedient Operation has decreased compared to the previous year," he said.

"The majority of violations during the 2023 Menumbing Obedient Operation were dominated by two-wheeled vehicles," he explained.

"For the majority of violators, there are indeed many two-wheeled vehicles with types of violations that do not complete documents along with vehicle documents," he said.

He hopes that through the implementation of Operation Patuh Menumbing 2023, people in this area can be orderly and comply with traffic rules while driving.

"We advise the public even though the operation has been completed so that they continue to obey traffic rules so that they can reflect the nation's morality as the slogan Police Precision," he said.
