Today I got a summon from the police for expired driving license. Really slipped my mind that my driving license has already expired and it is totally my fault.

My question is can I just settle the fine without the need to go to the court? The summon says that I need to be present at the court and I really want to avoid doing that.

Appreciate any advice from the fellow forumer.

Kalau saman kau sign sila hadir ke mahkamah

Yeah, right... Driving license expiry date is linked to your birthday. How can you forget that? Fake license ah? Please go to court, and don't drive anymore. Danger to society only.

I’ll give you a clue. It’s to do with the year not the date.

I thought it’s going to expire this year, totally my fault for not double checking the expiry date.

Macam boleh tak sign je... ...

See whether the piece of paper mention can settle with money aka compound possible or totally not possible lo

No compoundable saman need to attend court…judge will determine the compound during the hearing because driving with expired license is equal to driving without license which is a serious offence…
Please remember dress code when going to court…

just go and wait for queue

then let court blablabla then minta maaf sebab lupa

bayar saman then k bye

if u want do rayuan then more process

mine late 8 months just realized because only go around taman and commute work, no summon luckily, morning go to jpj and renew pay extra a bit for 5y 3 months.

i kena before also, but i use the polis saman app to pay already, u try use the app and see u can find the saman or not

What ever u wanna try, go ahead and try 1st.

But if until the date to Court still no result, u better attend the court appointment. No show will just make it worse.

Be humble and say salah saya to the judge. Make muka kecian to minimize penalty.

why not pi balai and ask.
maybe, can settle the saman there. make sure dapat resit after paying. if any officer willing to settle for you, say NO!!

forget to renew is not the same with No license to drive....
NO license meaning you never learn too....

Back to court, it still depends how he is going to explain himself on it...

I had the same experience last year.... this is the process if dowwan to attend court session:

- Wait around 3-5 days for your 'saman' to enter (and captured) into the traffic online system

- Check how much is the offense online and pay immediately if possible

- Print the receipt of payment and keep as proof

After doin all these, no need to attend court session d cos the system already captured your payment.

I didn't receive any letter (or reminder) to attend court after I did all these steps, so no worries....

I’ve adjusted the expiry years to X0 & X5 years.

Which meant I only need to renew on years ending with 0 & 5.

Or if you’re someone more sensitive to your own age, adjust it to be your X0 and X5 ages.

Better go balai ask and confirm instead of getting random answers from here and make things worse

How much is the saman?

How to adjust?

Yup last time i also almost forgot to renew.

I understand the feeling.

Check with that police app. If it's there, just pay, else go to court and plead guilty and pay.

Want to the police station just now and paid the summon. It was my first offence so it’s RM150 with 80% discount. Checked with the staff and she told me I no longer have to appear in court as I have already settled the fine.

Thanks everyone for your input. Really appreciate it.

canot settle offline?

PM Me. I'll help you out

Please keep the receipt carefully in case the offence is still recorded inside the system

Yes I am also worried about this too. How can I make sure it is properly recorded though? Check mybayar?

My guess is if the expiry date is this year 2023, renew 2 years so the next expiry date is 2025. Then subsequently renew every 5 years which is 2025, 2030, 2035... easier to remember.

Just keep/scan it and store together with important stuff like income tax return for that year.
