KUALA LUMPUR: Those who drive without a licence may be fined up to RM2,000 if an amendment to the Road Transport Act 1987 is passed.

This is an increase from the current maximum fine of RM1,000.

Under the existing Act, those who drive a motor vehicle without being a holder of a driving licence or who allow another person without a license to drive a motor vehicle shall be liable to a maximum fine of RM1,000, jailed up to three months or both.

The amendment seeks to provide for a minimum fine of RM300 and increase the maximum fine to RM2,000 for such offences.

Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri tabled the Road Transport (Amendment) Bill 2012 in the Dewan Rakyat for first reading On Monday.

The Bill also proposes to introduce a minimum fine of RM300 for offences relating to displaying a vehicle's registration number.

This means that a person who fails to display his or her vehicle registration number in accordance with the Act shall be liable to a fine not less than RM300 and not more than RM3,000.

The proposed amendment seeks to allow a person to make authorised left turns in accordance with traffic signs, lawfully placed on a road, permitting such a move.

However, this is notwithstanding a red signal or other traffic signs indicating a place where traffic must stop at any traffic junction.

The person must also stop before the marked stop line on the road to ascertain if it is safe to make the authorised left turn before doing so.

Those who contravene this provision shall be liable to a fine of not less than RM300 and not more than RM2,000.

actually less kopi for them la.. since we will obey the law more... and i don't think poorfag like /k/ have many cash in wallet 

should have done this ages ago but i feel this RM200 is still very less should make it maximum fine of rm5000 better then all motorist will not dare to speed or break traffic rules as they wish anymore  

less kopi only for small2 fish la dey, the upper position still go alot.. and after 2k implement , increase summore..

the charges aren't what people afraid of....it's the possibility of misusing the system...so many people get summoned for speeding by mistake and information are not shared throughout the system...and how the money would be use...
there'll be more kopi money as they can scare pipul even when not at fault....
upper position get away with summons most of the time...
