PETALING Jaya City Council traffic offenders who failed to settle their summonses will not be able to renew their road tax starting March next year.

Details of the defaulters would be submitted to the Road Transport Department, which would bar the car owners from renewing their road tax.

Petaling Jaya mayor Mohd Azizi Mohd Zain said the council received the approval to enable them to take the drastic action from the department last month.

The City Council has 4.1 million unpaid traffic summonses amounting to RM100 million.

 He said in a move to encourage traffic offenders to settle their summonses before the deadline, the City Council is offering an 80% discount until Feb 29.
