Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas) recently caught another toll jumper.
On 15 October, Prolintas Kajang SILK posted that its highway personnel managed to catch a toll jumper who managed to skip paying 59 times!
The errant driver had to pay a total sum of RM256.20 including administration fees on the spot at the Kajang SILK highway.
In the same post, Prolintas advised members of the public not to avoid paying tolls.
Kali ini, pemandu kereta Honda pula kantoi selepas 59 kali terlepas bayar tol, dgn tunggakan bayaran sejumlah RM256.20 termasuk caj pentadbiran.

Kejadian berlaku mlm tadi di Lebuhraya Kajang SILK. Amaun kerugian telah dikembalikan pada masa & lokasi sama oleh si pelaku. #Kantoi pic.twitter.com/5ttTffmELR
The incident didn’t make netizens happy because they believe the driver got away with a light fine.
Some of them think the driver should be fined more than 5 times what he currently paid in order to teach him an expensive lesson.
On the other hand, a netizen said the punishment should be more severe such as putting toll jumpers in prison or hauling them to court on top of paying a fine.
A netizen believes a stronger punishment is needed because toll jumping can risk the safety of another driver, especially when they drive close to the car in front to skip paying the toll.
Others also suggested the relevant authorities catch more toll jumpers on other highways.
Sepatutnya kene denda 5X dgn jumlah dia kene bayar..baru ada akal..tak nak bayar toll..lalu jalan luar.. membahayakan pengguna ikut rapat2

Kenapa tak kenakan denda yang lebih tinggi? Contoh 5x atau 10x nilai tunggakan tu. Baru lah sedar dan insaf. Ni bayar amaun yg sama dengan caj pentadbiran yg berapa ringgit je tu.

Bagus, tolong buat operasi kat GRAND SAGA Batu 9. Pada 03 OCT 8:19am ada kes macam ini di lorong RFID. Kereta saya tak ada cam belakang. LLM patut beri arahan kepada semua pengelola tol untuk menangani gejala sedemikian yang mengundang keadaan yang tak diingini.

Why do people try to skip paying tolls?
Aside from trying to save money (or going extremely frugal), sometimes drivers can fail to pay the toll when they encounter technical difficulties at the toll plaza.
As seen in some videos, sometimes the payment system fails to work or the boom gate fails to open.
Hopefully, all these kinks are sorted out as we gradually move to a barrier-free toll system by 2025 or road users might face surprise fines.
