This is a fascinating discussion reflecting Southeast Asian traffic culture. In Malaysia, convoy riding is deeply embedded in society, and its scale has become a safety and traffic-flow issue. It's reasonable for experts to call for rules grounded in reality. I see this as a step toward maturity unique to a region where two-wheelers play a central role in both daily life and leisure.

The actual max headcount number hasn't come out yet, so I'm curious about a follow-up.

Managing group size is quietly an important issue for touring in Japan too.

Malaysia genuinely has a huge convoy culture, so it makes sense experts are weighing in with proposals.

Even if you make rules, without an actual enforcement system to make people follow them, it'll probably stay just words on paper.

Awareness and getting people to adopt rules voluntarily might be a more realistic landing point than enforcement.

Following-distance rules and a headcount cap are a reasonable proposal for safety in large convoys.

With following-distance rules in place, the risk of rear-end and chain-reaction collisions should definitely go down.
