Public suggests point-based system for drivers

Several spectators at Sunday’s Macao Forum suggested the government establish a point-based system to grade Macau’s drivers. Former transport committee advisory member Leng Sai Vai agreed with the idea of a point-based system. Leng believes that Macau needs a new mindset, and that a point-based system could increase the drivers’ awareness at all times. Leng suggested that in addition to fines, the government should also offer further training courses to drivers to allow them to increase their safety awareness. Police representative Ma Chio Hong noted that the police authority has an open attitude towards a point-based system.
