Do traffic fines affect your road tax renewal?
It’s a sunny day, you’re ready to renew your road tax, and then—bam! A clerk says, “Sorry, you’ve got unpaid traffic fines.” You freeze. Now what?
Let’s unpack the truth about whether traffic fines in Malaysia can derail your road tax renewal, and how Motorist Malaysia can make this process seamless (while saving you from a financial meltdown).
Short answer? Yes.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has made it clear: You can’t renew your road tax if you have outstanding traffic fines. These fines often include offenses recorded by:
- PDRM (Royal Malaysia Police)
- JPJ summonses
- AES (Automated Enforcement System)
If you don’t clear these fines, forget about hitting the road legally.
How Does It Work?
Your vehicle's status is linked to a centralized database. When you attempt to renew your road tax, any vehicle traffic fines will trigger a block in the system. It's as if JPJ is saying, “No payment, no road.”
