REJANG LEBONG - Traffic unit officers from the Rejang Lebong Police, Bengkulu, conducted a raid on noisy exhausts or brongs used by students.

Head of Traffic AKP Radian Andy Pratomo said the raids followed the number of traffic accidents in the area involving students, both victims and perpetrators.

"The Security and Safety Unit (Kamsel) and the Gakkum Satlantas Polres Rejang Lebong today carried out a direct inspection of the parking lot of SMA Negeri 2 Rejang Lebong and still found several student motorcycles that used brong exhausts or were noisy," said Radian at the Rejang Lebong Police Headquarters, Antara. , Friday, March 11th.

He explained that the use of brong or noisy exhaust is not allowed because it disturbs the peace of the community, as regulated by Law No. 22/2009 concerning Road Transport Traffic and the Environmental Law.

For this reason, several students whose motorbikes wore non-standard exhausts were given warnings at an early stage to immediately replace the exhausts. If the exhaust is not replaced later, it will issue a ticket.

According to him, in addition to conducting exhaust raids at Rejang Lebong State High School, his party also disseminated a culture of traffic order to students at the school where this activity is part of the "Police Goes to School" Program of the Rejang Lebong Police.

"From the cases of traffic accidents that we have, most of them occur at productive ages, so it is necessary to cultivate a culture of orderly traffic such as wearing helmets, completing vehicle documents, and not speeding on the highway," he explained.

He hopes that exhaust raids and socialization of traffic rules among students which will be carried out at the same time as the Nala 2022 Safety Operation will reduce the number of traffic accidents in their productive age.

Previously, cases of traffic accidents that occurred in Rejang Lebong Regency throughout 2021 reached 71 cases, which resulted in 22 deaths, 27 seriously injured, and 61 minor injuries.
