Drivers are at fault in 85% of all road accidents, according to Works Minister Baru Bian.“Only 15% of road crashes are caused by lack of maintenance of vehicles or poor road conditions,” he added, in response to a question from Datuk Dr Hasan Bahrom on measures to be taken to ensure roads were safe and to prevent accidents caused by damaged road structures.
He said mill-and-pave routine maintenance, repainting work and replacing of guard rails were carried out annually. “We are now on a ‘zero potholes campaign’ to ensure that all potholes are filled up and road repaved within 24 hours of receiving a report,” Baru added.
