JPJ to blacklist 1,400 errant motorists for failing to settle outstanding traffic summonses and compounds

The Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) says it has sought the help of the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to blacklist around 1,400 errant motorists for failing to settle their outstanding traffic compounds.

The city council is taking this drastic action against offenders who refuse to settle their summonses or compound fines because constant reminders and warning notices being sent to them haven’t worked, The Sun reports.

“Once blacklisted, these motorists will not be able to renew their road tax or vehicle insurance unless they have fully settled all the outstanding compounds, regardless of whether it is from the local council or police,” PJ mayor Datuk Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain said at a briefing on the council’s enforcement report for 2016.

Statistics from the report showed that last year, 203,763 compounds were issued under the Road Transport Order (PPJ). Another 308,985 compounds were issued under Pay and Display (PND), while 4,382 were for vehicles that were towed away by the council and 2,988 for wheel clamping.

According to Mohd Azizi, the enforcement action taken was in accordance with the respective enactment and by-laws of the offence committed.

      Public transportation such as LRT, MRT, Rapid bus so convenient. No car no saman, no problemo.

        JPJ dare to blacklist Ministers and Gomen officials from leaving the country? Many offenders are the 1.5 million gomen servants. Until today never settle saman or even their study loan

    What does that tell U when a local council/authority does not have the power to blacklist but need to ask JPJ to do their job ! No wonder M’sian are not afraid of local councils summons but only pay PDRM/JPJ summons only.

  • Polis and JPJ should take account the record of road offence to decide the guilty party in a road accident.

    All hangat hangat tahi ayam la. You see what happened to the bus black boxes? All it takes is for one major accident, then those buggers all go create a hype. This la, that la. End of day, all quiet down and the buses and lorries continue to rumble pass you at 140kmh. All these people need to do is to continue and follow up and enforce. What’s so difficult? Those with outstanding summons, not able to renew roadtax or driving license. Simple. Then after a while, their car totally cannot be registered again.
