Abstract

The use of standard helmets is a legal obligation for motorcycle riders as regulated in Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. This provision aims to protect rider safety and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. However, in practice, the level of public compliance with the obligation to wear helmets in Dumai City remains relatively low and shows fluctuations from year to year. The main issue examined in this study is how law enforcement is implemented against motorcycle riders who do not wear helmets within the jurisdiction of the Dumai City Police Resort, as well as the factors that hinder the enforcement process, causing it to remain less than optimal and effective. This study employs a sociological legal research method with a descriptive- analytical approach. Data were collected through interviews with officers of the Traffic Unit of the Dumai City Police Resort, traffic violators, and members of the community, supported by documentation studies and field observations to obtain an empirical overview of law enforcement practices. The results indicate that law enforcement against helmet-use violations in the jurisdiction of the Dumai City Police Resort has been carried out through preventive, repressive, and educative approaches. Preventive efforts include traffic safety socialization, while repressive measures involve traffic raids and enforcement through ticketing. The educative approach is implemented by providing direct explanations to violators regarding the importance of wearing helmets. Although there has been a tendency toward a decrease in the number of violations during certain periods, the effectiveness of law enforcement remains suboptimal. The obstacles encountered include low public legal awareness, limited personnel resources, and the absence of a strong traffic discipline culture. Therefore, law enforcement against helmet-use violations in Dumai City still requires strengthening and improvement to become more effective and sustainable.
