Problem of unpaid summonses

GOING by the number of traffic summonses issued annually, lawlessness and impunity seem to be the order of the day on our country’s roads.

In Kuala Lumpur, City Hall alone issued more than one million traffic summonses each year from 2013 to 2015, of which 16.9% were settled in 2013. The percentage dropped to 12.7% the following year and 10.5% last year.
