This article mainly discusses the effectiveness ‘OP Selamat’ in increasing the Perception of Being Caught (POBC) for committing traffic offences among road users in Malaysia. The analysis was based on the data from previous POBC studies from year 2008 until 2013. It can be seen that the ‘OP Selamat’ program was found to be effective in increasing the overall road users’ POBC for committing traffic offences. The analyses have confirmed that there was statistically significant difference in mean scores of road users’ overall POBC. It is hoped that the discussion with regard to POBC would help the concerned parties in constructing a concrete strategy in road traffic enforcement.
