If you drive a vehicle in Malaysia, either a car, motorcycle, van, lorry, bus etc, sooner or later you are going to get a traffic summons from the Polis Di Raja Malaysia (PDRM).

You can be summoned for many traffic offences, big or small.

Most probably, you will be summoned for parking offences, speeding, simple traffic violation etc.

In fact, the most common traffic offense in Malaysia is driving without a license or driving with an expired driving license.

Lately, a lot of van and lorry drivers have been summoned by the Polis because they were driving without a Goods Driver’s License (GDL).

Make an appeal

If you’ve gotten a Malaysia police summons, what should you do?

Well, firstly, you can always make an appeal.

To do this, you have to go to a police station nearest to you and speak to the officer there.

Sometimes if you are lucky, you can get a discount of your traffic summons.

But if you are really at the wrong, chances are, your appeal may not work,

Checking summonses online

How would you know if you have a traffic summons?

You can actually check your traffic record status online.

First, you can check your traffic summons status by using the services from MyEG.

My advice

If you have any traffic summons from PDRM, my advice is, pay up.

If you have many outstanding traffic summons, the end results can be quite bad.

Your driving licence can be suspended or blacklisted.

For Singaporean, you can enter into Malaysia but you may not be allowed to leave at customs checkpoint if you have may outstanding traffic summons.

I’ve already listed 3 ways how you can check if you have Police summons online.

Now you have no excuse not paying them.
