Prolintas is continuing its crackdown on toll evaders and recently revealed on Twitter that it had managed to catch a driver of a Mercedes-Benz A-Class on the Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (AKLEH). According to the post, the driver had 45 missed toll payments amounting to RM275.65, which was settled on the spot.
It goes without saying that toll evading is illegal and those caught can be charged under Section 8 of the Federal Roads (Private Management) Act 1984, which provides a fine of between RM2,000 and RM5,000 upon conviction. However, this will require a toll concessionaire to take civil suit action against offenders.
Previously, Prolintas also took to Twitter to report on a Proton X50 driver with a toll arrears of RM57.50. In October last year, a Honda City driver was also nabbed on the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway, otherwise known as the SILK Highway, with RM256.20 in owed toll fares.
Toll evasion is nothing new here and you’ve probably read stories or seen videos of cars tailgating vehicles in front of them really closely at toll plazas in order to avoid paying the toll fee by passing through before the boom gate descends.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Freedom fighters.
probably all this while thought since PH won the GE14 all tolls are abolished
Lantoklaa
See face knew race do this
luckily we are not mongoloid LOL
Just pathetic the recalcitrant rich bugger ..PM Anwar,pls enact a law to jail these idiots for 3 months as deterrent.Pui…blardy Merc owner
Blardy merc owner replied they alwiz voted PH, go for their demos, viral all their fake news on socmed, and convinced all their frens to vote for him. Of coz they are going to expect something back and the rich gets freer rein, there are no free votes and the richer the votes the more expensive in return.
These people who can afford to drive nice cars, but couldn’t afford to pay tolls or tries to avoid paying tolls. Padan muka kena tangkap. Shouldn’t blur her face.
the cheapest merc that money can buy isn’t necessarily a nice car to drive. besides, it’s a merc that is almost 10 years old. i guess that’s not really the point here. regardless of what car one drives, stop stealing by avoiding to pay one’s due.
Wow! That’s a fun, novel idea, think I’ll keep evading to pay tolls and when I’m finally caught, pay the outstanding. – Fine these buggers as a deterrent –
just because you lack the balls to break the law doesn’t mean you should get envy of others who had successfully broken the law and feel the need to imitate them!
Bukan envy bang..tak puas hati pasal langsung tak kena apa2 penalti..ini macam pasti kes sama akan berulang..letih laa bang menghadap rakyat mcm ni..
should fine rm5000.
It’s good they caught them and all but the punishment should be there for wasting everybody’s time. Maybe add-on rm150 for every toll evaded
A45?
I seriously doubt that! Where is the “other half” of the car? left behind at the dealership because one cannot afford to pay for the “whole car”? desperately trying to look rich. should either save some more money or borrow some more or learn to drive a “whole car” instead of getting “half” a car..
Drive BBA but can’t afford toll?
don’t want to pay toll, ride a motorbike la.
So prolontas is new born so call gangsters, if front lever is already up and car wan to pay but system not read or bla bla so who to blame, utter nonsense, so now they can stop anyone and accused, whaaa
Wtf are u high on brader…….
When did they simply stop anyone and simply accused? In your ‘high’ world is it?
Front lever….hahahah, my god….
My god you are so naive, never thought such level of naive still exist in this front lever, stop anyone and accused world.
The toll system failed 45 times for this car?
Menace to society… imagine everyone doing that.
wonder who is the amoi
PuraPura Kaya
I think should impose some hutang interest fees too, if they just need to pay whatever they owe all this while, it’s too cheap for them, they won’t feel pain and will continue this habit wherever they find a chance in future.
How she managed to evade paying tolls? Was she tailgating the cars? Can afford luxury car but cant pay toll.
Pakai kereta mewah, konon naktu show off mcm orang kaya kaya, In fact hidup cukup cukup makan saja, even hardly make ends meet…… Ha… Ha…
i’m sure if you can afford one kereta mewah and actually driving one, you won’t be saying this…again, that’s not the point here. Stop getting “red eyes” on other people’s kerera mewah! Work hard and pay your your due, maybe one day you can drive a kereta mewah also, just refrain from buying the cheapest one.
Tahu beli Mercedes, but BERUK jugak yg pakai. Gives all Mercedes owners likes us a bad reputation. Should enact fine with prison term.
some ppl likes the rush of not getting caught and see how far they can go, besides, if caught just pay la, amount due point 0, its not like theres any interest or penalties except for fines which is byk kerja for rm245
as such, ppl will keep on doing this
How did they manage to do that?
Just impose a M$5000 fine…thats all…never allow all these idiots to pay the exact toll fees which they are cheating…they will not repent
Apa la. Saman je la 10 times the toll amount. Byr setakat RM250 tu apa la sangat. Esok dia buat lagi.
C’mon, use commonsense sket.
Sbb diaorg ni menyusahkan org lain dh, and create danger when tailgating too close when want to avoid the tol.
She is lucky. Considering the car and the number of times she did this, Prolintas could’ve just file a civil suit with high probability of winning the case. The attorney’s fees will most likely dwarf the actual fine.
Addendum: If it is 45 cases tried SEPARATELY (I dunno if it should be combined or not, not a legal expert); at minimum RM2k, then that will be s**t load of fine.
Also pls establish new Penal Code (Akta Jenayah) for those bikers lalu car lane ..
Causing driver TnGo / RFID stuck in middle nowhere ..
Besar betul ke… luanDrive merc tapi pokai. Nak byr tol pun tadak duit
