Back in October 2025, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) and Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) jointly announced a major update on traffic summons enforcement. The announcement confirmed that summons rates between the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) have been standardized to reduce confusion and ensure fair enforcement across Malaysia.
Another key update is that starting 1 January 2026, seasonal summon discounts have been discontinued and replaced with the principle: “The Less You Delay, The Less You Pay.” Under this system, motorists who settle their summons early enjoy higher discounts, while late payments mean paying the full amount. Serious delays may even lead to blacklisting or court action. This reform aims to reward responsible drivers and encourage safer, more disciplined road behaviour.
PDRM Traffic Summons Rates (2026)
PDRM traffic summons are divided into four main categories based on the type and severity of the offence.
High-Risk Offences
The first category includes offences that pose a high risk to road safety, public transport, and traffic flow. Examples include speeding over 40 km/h above the limit, taxi drivers not using meters, and using emergency lanes without valid reason. The fine for these offences is RM300, fixed across all vehicle types, including motorcycles under 250cc.
Driver Behaviour & Vehicle Technical Offences
The second category covers offences related to driver behaviour and technical issues that actively increase accident risk. Examples include illegal U-turns, stopping in yellow boxes, failing to obey traffic signals, not wearing a seatbelt, queue-jumping, and driving without a licence. Fines range from RM100 to RM300 depending on the vehicle type.
Passive Vehicle Technical Offences
The third category includes minor vehicle-related offences that can still create dangerous situations. Examples are non-functioning lights or brake lights, missing side mirrors, and carrying unsuitable items. Fines for this category range from RM50 to RM250, depending on the vehicle.
Other Minor Offences
The fourth category covers offences with minimal impact on safety, such as expired driving licences, missed PUSPAKOM inspections for commercial vehicles, failure to transfer ownership, or not displaying a “P” plate. Fines range from RM40 to RM150.

JPJ Traffic Summons Rates (2026)
JPJ has published an updated PDF list of offences effective 1 January 2026. It covers more than 850 offences, including both compoundable and non-compoundable cases.
For compoundable offences, fines start at RM150 if paid within 15 days, and can rise to a maximum of RM300 if unpaid after 60 days. Non-compoundable offences, such as driving without a licence or using falsified vehicle documents, do not offer discounts and require the offender to attend court.
How to Check & Pay Traffic Summons Online
Although the rates are now standardized, JPJ and PDRM fall under separate ministries. JPJ under MOT and PDRM under KDN. Therefore, each has its own system for checking and paying summons.
Checking & Paying PDRM Summons
Malaysian motorists have two main ways to check PDRM summons. The easiest is through the MyBayar PDRM platform, available as a mobile app on Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery. MyBayar lets you check and pay fines directly, and you can log in easily using MyDigital ID.
If you don’t want to install an additional app, MyBayar PDRM can also be accessed via a web browser on your phone or computer. Simply log in with your MyDigital ID to check and pay your traffic summons directly.
Alternatively, motorists can use the PDRM Online Check System (SSO). This web-only system allows checking summons but does not support payments; users will be redirected to platforms like MyBayar, MyEG, or RILEK to settle fines.
Checking & Paying JPJ Summons
The most up-to-date method for JPJ summons is the myJPJ app, which allows both checking and payment. Unlike MyBayar, myJPJ does not have a web portal, so the app must be installed on your device. Login is simple using MyDigital ID.
Besides using myJPJ, there are two other alternatives available. The first alternative is the MySikap JPJ portal, which can not only be used to check and pay traffic summons, but also provides services for vehicle registration and matters related to driving licences.
The second alternative is to use the MyEG platform. This platform also offers the convenience of checking and paying JPJ traffic summons using your identification card number. MyEG is available as a mobile app and can also be accessed via a web browser on both phones and computers.
JPJ & PDRM Summons Discounts
As announced by MOT, there are no more seasonal discounts starting 1 January 2026. The current system follows the principle “The Less You Delay, The Less You Pay.”
However, it was observed that discounts were still being offered. For example, during the Majlis Semarak Madani Program Kampung Angkat Madani di Kampung Sembulan on 11 Januari 2026, the promotional poster still listed summons reduction incentives as one of the event’s attractions. This may suggest that the government is still providing targeted reductions in certain cases.
