The road transport department (JPJ) will suspend or revoke the permits of driving schools if many of their former students are found to have committed traffic offences or cause traffic accidents, reports Bernama.
According to JPJ director-general Datuk Zailani Hashim, the move is currently at the planning stage and is expected to be listed under the electronic testing (e-testing) system that will be implemented nationwide beginning April this year. Once activated, a code will be placed on the driving licence to detect which driving school the traffic offenders received their training from.
Zailani elaborated by saying that there were 10,569 driving instructors in Malaysia who are certified in line with Rule 11(4) of the Motor Vehicles (Driving Schools) Rules 1992. “However, there is a backlog of 1,779 applications due to restrictions on activities such as courses, seminars and workshops enforced by the government previously,” he said.
Based on statistics from JPJ as well as the police’s traffic enforcement and investigation department, it was found that 80% of road accidents were due to human negligence.

Good initiatives, should implement Pengarah JPJ also be replace if accident cases increase each year. Maintain only who ever Pengarah can reduce road accident
This seems unfair. I can’t think of a correlation between driving school instructions and integrity of the driver. You can teach someone all the right things, but if they insist on breaking the law, you can’t hold the instructor accountable. In the same vein, all schools should be penalized if their students go on to commit acts of crime.
If a motorcycle or car make model has the highest number involved in road accident, will the authority suspend and revoked sales permit of motorcycle or carmaker or distributionship?
If they abolish the drive auto only learning syllabus and force everyone to learn driving manual vehicles, that would eliminate a significant amount potential bad drivers who have poor eye-hand-feet coordination.
Driving school will issue clause to be sign by their student saying ‘sekolah memandu ABC tidak bertanggungjawab atas kesalahan yang saya akan buat selepas ini’.
That is a joke
The one that evaluates and approves all test candidates are JPJ EMPLOYEES!!!!
JPJ should blame themselves as they are the one that PASSED ALL THE DRIVING LICENSE CANDIDATES!!!
Easier to whack the driving school la…now kopi lesen not so easy, this is another way to extract extra cash.
JPJ roadblock for illegal modifications, window tint, standardised number plates all too hard. Must work. Same as getting PDRM to actually enforce all the road rules. The only thing they seem to be all gung ho about enforcing is drunk driving caused by alcohol. Intoxication with other substances either not tested or don’t care. So many rules to enforce and gain revenue but it’s easier to blame the driving school.
Is this Zailani even know that fact at the first place…?? Guess he thought the Driving School is producing Driving License all these while… What a CLOWN
This happens when we have a JPJ director with a peabrain.
Whatever the driving school, the one that passes all the new driving license candidates are JPJ officers.
Why not fire the police traffic when there is an accident especially at traffic light. Or fire the teacher if the student fail. Hmmm… sound the same, right? Is it make sense?
Stupid rule made by stupid ppl.
Haha typical gov agency of Malaysia blame everyone except themselves why not the code also indicate which jpj officer who pass these students during exam.
Yang kasi lulus test dan keluarkan driving license tu sekolah memandu kah?
Today in Sabah , many Driver without Signal , just Turn.
I like the possibility of revoking something here. Make our driving license hard enough to obtain (price, difficulty) and easy enough to lose it (as in strict enforcement) then the whole driving behavior can be properly addressed and resolved.
Hahahhaha
Hahahhaha.. what a pity
JPJ should 1st have brainstorming sessions with JKJR & MIROS on whether there should be any improvements to the learner driver training syllabus before picking on driving schools when there are too many accidents caused by bad drivers.
How to brainstorm when they have NO brain?
It’s not a wise idea to blame the instructors for the accidents occur ..I advise the enforcement agencies to take stern action against the trafic offenders ..I feel lots area need to be improve..
It’s not a wise idea to blame the instructors for the accidents occur ..I advise the enforcement agencies to take stern action against the trafic offenders ..I feel lots of area need to be improve..we can see at trafic light signals almost 10 to 3 motorists beat the lights…
Then all the schools attended by Grab riders will be banned
Bad student-drivers passed the Driving Test done by the JPJ testers ? Very fishy activities going on here.
What a stupid idea from JPJ. Does that mean the head of MACC will resign as well when our ranking dropped 5 placing??
hahaha………this is something blamingng teachers do not teach the students well in thr class. Why some students can score A and some fail? Nothing to do with teachers. The problem comes from students.
This is a prank news or what aaa?
Aku x paham kenapa ujian memandu macam nokharom sgt procedure. Dahlaa nak dapat tarikh test jpj tu lembab. Pastu bila dah test fail marahkan student sedangkan jarak antara qti ke tarikh test tu dah lama. Nak paksa semua student keluarkan duit lebih untuk jam tambahan. Member aku keluarkan 100rm utk jam tambahan last2 fail jugak. Ko ingat bila orang tu failed naik bukit bermakna dia xleh drive naik bukit ke in real life? Terundur sikit je babi tu pon sbb dapat kereta cam pukimak. Puki laa jpj punya driving test ni. Saja2 nak kaut extra cash. Menjawab laa esok2 di akhirat
