KUALA LUMPUR: Some 382 summonses were issued for various offences following an integrated operation at the Sungai Besi toll plaza.
JPJ director Hamidi Adam said 2,041 vehicles were inspected during the operation which started at about 8.30am on Tuesday (Jan 27).
"We issued 382 summonses for various offences, including not having valid driving license and road tax as well as overloading. We also seized 21 vehicles while four men tested positive for drugs," he told reporters after the operation concluded.
Among other offences detected were two buses which did not have tour guides.
"It is an offence under the Land Public Transport Act 2010. It is a serious offence as it could endanger the passengers and tarnish the reputation of the country's tourism industry," he added.
Hamidi said the department will continue to conduct continuous enforcement to instil discipline among road users.
"Our ultimate goal is to ensure the safety of all road users," he said.
On a related matter, Hamidi said KL JPJ issued 137,192 summonses throughout last year.
"It is a slight reduction compared to 145,542 summonses issued in 2024. We also seized 955 vehicles last year due to various offences," he said.
Among the top offences last year were expired driving licenses, road tax as well as not having vehicle insurance, he said.
"We also detected having tinted windows which did not follow specifications as well as overloading," he added.
Hamidi advised road users to ensure their driving licenses, road tax and insurance are valid.
"We also urge all road users to channel information on traffic offence to MyJPJ: e-Aduan or email at aduantrafik@jpj.gov.my," he said.
