Motorists that have been blacklisted due to unpaid Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) fines will be able to deactivate their status following payment of these via the MyJPJ application starting from March 18.
According to road transport department (JPJ) director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli, this is to allow motorists to settle their summonses and renew their motor vehicle licences (LKM) without having to visit the JPJ counter, as Bernama reports.
“However, no discounts are given for old summonses, except for AWAS summonses received this year, which offers discounts of RM150, RM200 and RM300 depending on the payment period,” he said during an event last week.
He added that that payment of traffic fines via MyJPJ does not involve the Notice of Summons (114) and summonses that cannot be compounded, because those cases need to be resolved in court. Non-compoundable traffic offences include driving without insurance or a licence, or displaying a fake road tax.
He said that individuals who are issued a ‘notice to attend; still need to go to the relevant JPJ office to complete the investigation into the traffic offence committed. “If they do not attend, their status will be blacklisted and they will still need to come to JPJ to resolve it,” he said.
Last October, the transport ministry indicated that from January 1 this year, rates for traffic summonses will be uniform across agencies, and there will no longer be periodic discount campaigns, with early payment of summonses being rewarded while late payments will incur the full amount.
