The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has warned that almost two million road users could be blacklisted if they fail to pay their outstanding traffic summonses
According to the New Straits Times, JPJ senior enforcement director Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said the department has recorded 1.45 million Automated Awareness Safety System (AwAS) summonses, 296,684 Notice 114 summonses, and 164,598 Notice 115 summonses.
"Some of these summonses date back more than 15 years, and the department is still allowing road users to settle them to avoid blacklisting," he said at a press conference last night, 29 September.
He urged road users to clear their dues before stricter measures are enforced.
"In addition to the risk of being blacklisted, offenders may also face increased compound rates of RM300 and demerit points under the KEJARA system," he said.
Muhammad Kifli urged offenders to take advantage of JPJ's 50% discount for these three types of summonses
To encourage payment, the compound rate of RM300 has been reduced to RM150 for these three types of summonses:
– AwAS Summons (53A): For speeding or running red lights captured by AwAS cameras
– Notice 114: Interview notice for investigation
– Notice 115: Affixed summons notice
The offer began in January and has been extended to the end of this year.
The director added that most AwAS summonses were issued for speeding violations at the Menora Tunnel in Ipoh, where up to 3,000 summonses were recorded daily
"The numbers are based on data from two installed cameras. Most offences are recorded during festive seasons or school holidays, when the route is heavily used by those travelling north or south.
"The most common offence is exceeding the speed limit, which is set at 80km/h in that area," he said.
He added that the three states with the highest number of summonses are Selangor, Perak, and Johor, which correlate with the number of AwAS cameras installed in each state.
