Which road traffic offences are covered by the RM500 proposal?

Question

Accepted Answer

The RM500 proposal covers a wide range of compoundable road traffic offences, including licensing, insurance, inspections, registration, parking, traffic direction, and obstruction of enforcement.

The government is expected to seek amendments to the Road Transport Act 1987 to raise the maximum compound rate to RM500 for more than 700 road traffic offences. The proposal would cover offences under multiple provisions, including matters tied to motor vehicle licensing, driving without a valid licence, third-party insurance, vehicle inspection, registration numbers, parking offences, failure to obey traffic directions, and obstruction of enforcement officers.
Offences tied to motor vehicle and vehicle licensing
The RM500 proposal would cover offences related to motor vehicle licensing and vehicle licences. This includes breaches connected to having the required permissions or licences for the vehicle.
Driving without a valid licence and related licensing breaches
The proposal would also include offences for driving without a valid licence. It is framed as part of the wider set of offences that fall under the Act’s licensing-related provisions.
Third-party insurance and vehicle inspection offences
Offences involving third-party insurance are included in the RM500-covered categories. Vehicle inspection-related offences are also listed as part of the provisions the amendments would address.
Registration numbers, parking, traffic directions, and obstruction
The RM500 proposal would cover offences involving registration numbers. It also includes parking offences, failure to obey traffic directions, and obstruction of enforcement officers.
