More than 140,000 summonses issued under AWAS

A total of 142,145 summonses have been issued for road offences recorded under the Automated Awareness Security System (AWAS) since the system began operating on April 15, according to the transport ministry.

The system has also slapped 7,258 motorists with Kejara demerit points, Bernama reports. The highest number of offences involved speeding, with 129,781 cases recorded, while 12,354 summonses were issued for beating traffic lights, the ministry stated.

The AWAS system integrates both AES (Automated Enforcement System) and Kejara demerit points, and currently has 21 AES cameras in service at strategic locations nationwide, with eight units located in Perak, three in Kuala Lumpur and two each in Putrajaya, Johor, Selangor and Terengganu. Kelantan and Kedah each has one AES camera in operation.

Last month, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) said that another 50 AES cameras will be installed across the country by the end of the year.

        TQ john, pickup from balai only. now we know the kids are not penalized, riding without licence is not illegal.

      140,000 summonses….I bet less than 10 percent will pay up.
      No one cares a damn to respect the law after the JPJ dude sent a small fart to appear in court for an offence.
      Every one is waiting for the once a year 30-50 percent discount.
      No one cares a damn….everyday thousands carry 3 on their bikes to sekolah,beat traffic light,overtake like fast and Furious 8…Lawlessness is the norm.

  • Does AWAS and Kejara demerit points also applies to motorcyclist? or a they above the law?

    Can the camera even captures the motorcycle number plate?
