All summonses from the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and Road Transport Department (JPJ) are set to be integrated into one database system beginning this year. According to the Transport Ministry’s Secretary-General Datuk Isham Ishak, the initiative would allow for the summons system issued by both agencies to be more effective in terms of enforcement.

Previously, we reported on the e-Aduan@JPJ app by the Road Transport Department (JPJ) which received a total of 245 traffic violation reports during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri period. Now, it looks like the app has been quite popular with Malaysians, to the point that JPJ is mulling giving appreciation to those that have used it to channel information of road offences.

Just a week before the Hari Raya Aidilfitri holidays, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) announced the launching of the e-Aduan@JPJ app so that the public can lodge complaints regarding traffic offences. Today, JPJ revealed that since 29 April, a total of 245 reports were received via the app.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has revealed that a total of 128 GoPro Max 360 cameras will be used by its motorcycle enforcement unit during this festive period. The GoPro cameras will be used to detect offences committed by road users throughout the nation.

Today, the Ministry of Transport Malaysia just released a statement about the usage of micro-mobility vehicles. It appears that certain micro-mobility vehicles such as electric scooters are already banned on the road.

In 2022, we are still not getting flying cars, but we will get an automated driving test (also driving-related, haha). Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced that the new system will deploy at 232 driving schools nationwide starting from April. Read on to find out how it works!

Last week, PDRM declared that e-scooters would no longer be allowed on the roads. But what vehicles would be considered micromobility vehicles or e-scooters? What kind of regulations can users expect? The Personal Electric Vehicle Association (PEV Malaysia) decided to meet with the authorities to find out.

In this day and age, it only makes sense for more processes to go online. Having to skip going to a government office and queue up saves a lot of time, so it's great to see that the Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) Malaysia making such a move. Specifically, the JPJ has announced that we'll soon be able to renew our driver's license on MyEG.

No, this isn’t an early April Fools joke. JPJ now requires all e-hailing drivers such as Grab to register for a PSV (Public Service Vehicle) license, starting from the first of April 2019. The PSV training module would cost a maximum of RM200, and it requires up to 6 hours to complete. Once the training has been completed, the driver required to display a designated e-hailing sticker on their vehicle as per the orders of JPJ.

Traffic accidents seem to be synonymous with the long trek back to hometowns and kampung so JPJ has set up a WhatsApp number (011-51115252) so you can report traffic offenses. While this is definitely useful for reporting those emergency lane drivers, do remember that any picture or video reported to the number should be done by a passenger and not the driver. Also, make sure you get a visible license plate if you want it to be effective.
