Traffic Offenders Face Court Summons for Major Offences This Chinese New Year

This Chinese New Year festive season, individuals caught committing seven specific major traffic offences will not be able to pay fines. Instead, they will be directly referred to the courts for prosecution. This policy aims to enforce stricter adherence to road safety regulations during the peak travel period.
Non-Compoundable Major Traffic Offences

Throughout the Chinese New Year period, seven significant traffic offences have been designated as non-compoundable. These include serious violations such as cutting queues, overtaking on double lines, running red lights, exceeding speed limits, using mobile phones while driving, not wearing seat belts or helmets, and driving on the emergency lane. Offenders caught committing any of these will bypass the option of paying a fine and will face court proceedings directly.
Increased Enforcement Presence

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is significantly increasing its enforcement efforts for this year's celebration. A total of 2,000 JPJ enforcement officers will be deployed across the country. These officers will be actively monitoring road users to ensure compliance with traffic laws and to mitigate road crashes and fatalities.
Restrictions on Goods Vehicles

To further alleviate traffic congestion and reduce the risk of accidents, a ban will be imposed on goods vehicles. This prohibition is scheduled for January 20 and 21, and again on January 24 and 25. The aim is to minimise the mix of heavy and light vehicles on the roads during the busiest travel days of the festive season, thereby preventing traffic jams and potential collisions.
