Five Potential Violations of Zebra Operation 2024 That Daihatsu Friends Need to Know

JAKARTA, OCTOBER 2024, Violating traffic rules does not always occur when making mistakes in front of officers. Vehicle owners must also know the rules as users of the same public road. Therefore, the requirements to have a Driver's License (SIM), Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK), and other equipment must be in accordance with their intended use.

By complying with all traffic rules, drivers are expected to raise public awareness of the importance of orderly traffic. That's why yesterday, Monday (14/10) until 27/10/2024, the Traffic Corps of the Indonesian National Police is conducting Operation Zebra. There are several violations targeted in this Operation Zebra 2024.

In this Operation Zebra, officers will provide more warnings for traffic violators, especially violations that often cause accidents. Officers will also utilize the ETLE ticketing system, so violators will be monitored by surveillance cameras.
