Are fines issued for seating arrangements in cars during CMCO?

Question

Accepted Answer

No Fines for Car Seating Arrangements, but Limits Apply

There are no fines specifically for the seating arrangement within a vehicle during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). However, exceeding the stipulated two-person limit per car will result in a RM1,000 compound fine. Commercial vehicles engaged in essential services are permitted to carry individuals up to the capacity indicated on their licence.
Exceeding the Two-Person Limit Carries a Fine

While occupants can sit side-by-side in a car, the overarching rule restricts the number of individuals in a private vehicle to two. Violating this limit will lead to a RM1,000 compound fine. For groups of more than two people needing to commute together, obtaining prior police permission is advised.
Commercial Vehicles Have Specific Passenger Guidelines

Commercial vehicles transporting goods or providing essential services are subject to different regulations concerning passenger numbers. These vehicles are allowed to carry individuals according to the specifications outlined in their respective commercial vehicle licenses. This ensures that essential operations can continue while adhering to public health guidelines.
Taxis and E-Hailing Services Have Passenger Restrictions

Taxis and e-hailing vehicles are specifically regulated to carry a maximum of two passengers. This means that, including the driver, a total of three people are permitted within these service vehicles. This guideline is part of the SOP issued by the National Security Council (NSC) to manage movement during the CMCO period.
