Should Traffic Summon Be Given Discount?

No, because RM300 is too cheap for paying the summon. It should be raised to RM1000 or RM1500 or even of your one month salary. Not even this, police department should be always making sure that drivers with unpaid summon should not be allowed to renew their road tax and driving licence.

Why there are a lots of illegal driving style in Malaysia? One is because of the chances of getting the summon. If you park your car illegally for 100 times how many summon you think you will be getting? The rate is too low. I think not even 1% of the times you will be getting the summon.

Second reason is the pay for the summon is too cheap. And even discount may be given. This is really defeats the purpose of issueing summon. If one day, the summon could only be cleared by your one month salary and not paying it you will be brought to court or stay in jail, people then may scared of doing something illegal on the road.

Third reason is, even the summon is not cleared, road tax or driving licence could still be renewed. I don’t know why this could be happened eventhough police department always claim that no renewal could be done.

It always happen that a lots of people disagree of raising up the payment for the summon. They give the reason of this could be bringing up the cases of settling the cases illegally by paying the police officer personally. If you don’t do wrong, why you scared of raising up the payment? The problem of settling summon illegally should be solved by better solution, instead of disagree of raising up the payment. I believe those people who disagree are the drivers who always make illegal style on the road.

One day, if anytime when you do something illegal on the road you sure be getting summon and not a single time that you did not receive summon, and if one day, if the summon is cost you one month salary, and if one day if you sure cannot be renewing your road tax and driving licence if you don’t settle your summon, I would be very happy to know how many people will dare to park illegally, how many people will dare to exceed the speed limit. There will be no one, except for those who earn money illegally.
