PUTRAJAYA: The tontos haunting the Road Transport Department (JPJ) have been tamed – and that is now being reflected in the staggering monthly average of about 8,000 summonses against lorry operators for overloading.

At the height of the tonto menace, JPJ could only issue an average 1,455 summonses a month.
