According to Listyo, the launching of e-TLE is a part of the police’ efforts to improve security, safety, order, and smooth traffic flow.
Law enforcement efforts, he added, are needed so that road users can be disciplined and focus on their safety and respect other road users.
On the police perspective, this program is a part of the efforts to enforce the law by effectively utilizing information and communication technology, he added.
By implementing EeTLE, according to Listyo, the police can crack down on ten traffic offences, including traffic lights offence, road markings offence, odd-even traffic policy offence, drivers using mobile phones, drivers driving against the flow, drivers not using seat belts, motorcycle drivers not using helmet, offences of the validity of vehicle registration certificate, offences of restrictions on certain types of vehicles.
