PDRM traffic summons compound rates according to offence

This article aims to help you understand the price you must pay for violating traffic rules in Malaysia. This is just a list of prices for tickets handed out by PDRM, but different enforcement agencies will have different rates.

Nobody likes to receive traffic summonses. Not only are they inconvenient, but they also carry financial consequences and potential negative impacts on your driving record. Fortunately, being aware of the penalties associated with traffic violations can help you avoid receiving one in the first place.

Traffic summonses, also known as 'samans' or citations, are issued by enforcement officers for various violations such as speeding, running a red light, illegal parking, or driving without a valid license. The penalties for these violations can vary depending on the severity of the offence and enforcement agencies. 

The summonses issued by the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) are not arbitrary but rather based on various road and traffic violations committed. Consequently, each offence carries a different compound value. 

We're not saying you are a lawbreaker, but this article aims to help you understand the price you must pay for violating traffic rules.

Hopefully, the list will help make you a more responsible driver and prevent you from recklessly breaking road regulations. It should be noted that the PDRM compound prices may change occasionally. You are advised to contact the police for the latest information.
