List Of Licenses Issued By The Malaysian Road Transport Department

Posted on November 3rd, 2009

The JPJL6 lists the driving licenses that are issued by the J.P.J. (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan) or Road Transport Department.

I always felt the above list was self explanatory until one of our blog reader wrote in to comment that he wished to be given a satisfactory explanation regarding the list of license therein.

Please be informed in this article, two Bahasa Malaysia “terms” are used extensively. They are:

i) S.P. – Sentimeter per segi

ii) B.T.M. – Berat Tanpa Muatan

1) Class A Disabled person’s license for motorcycle and cars.

2) Class B – Motor license for motor cycles (501cc + above) or “Super bikes”.

3) Class B1 – License for motorcycles 251 cc – 500 cc.

4) Class B2 – License for motorcycles below 250 cc.

5) Class C – Three wheeled motorcycles.

6) Class D – Motor car B.T.M. weighing not more than 3000 kg.

7) Class E – Heavy motor car B.T.M exceeding 7500 kg.

8) Class E1 – Heavy motor car B.T.M. not exceeding 7500 kg.

9) Class E2 – Heavy motor car B.T.M. not exceeding 5000 kg.

10) Class F – Tractor / light movable machinery (with wheels) B.T.M. not exceeding 5000 kg.

11) Class G – Tractor / light movable machinery (with chains) B.T.M. exceeding 5000 kg.

12) Class H – Tractor / heavy movable machinery (with wheels) B.T.M. exceeding 5000 kg.

13) Class I – Tractor / heavy movable machinery (with chains) B.T.M. exceeding 5000 kg.

Please note that vehicles E, E1 and E2 refers to lorries and trailers.

    What is price for B full test for your driving school?
    Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

      Ordinary cans like Datsun C20 or 22 requires only D (cars) license.

      It has been a time since I did a B Full. Give and take the cost now should be around RM500 – RM600.

    Cikgu Yap,
    What license is required to tow a light trailer or wagon?

    • Cikgu Yap

      It’s my opinion that a D license can be used to tow a light trailer or wagon. Ideally, do get JPJ advice regarding requirements which has to be fitted to the trailer and wagon to be towed.
