Toll Jumper Gets Away With Skipping 59 Payments, Netizens React To Fine Only Being RM256.20
Just last week it was announced that toll fares for six major highways in the Klang Valley will be lower starting 20 October, said Prime Minister Ismail Sabri.
“All these improvement works took the restructuring of toll rates into account, with supplementary concession agreements being finalised.
“Through this latest restructuring, the government has saved approximately RM8.8 billion in compensation that should have been paid to the concessionaires involved. Additionally, highway users can enjoy lower toll rates to ease the cost of living,” said the PM.
Yet this person couldn’t wait. On 15 October, the PROLINTAS Kajang SILK Twitter account posted about a Honda driver who had skipped past 59 tolls.
Kali ini, pemandu kereta Honda pula kantoi selepas 59 kali terlepas bayar tol, dgn tunggakan bayaran sejumlah RM256.20 termasuk caj pentadbiran.

He was caught last weekend and was fined RM256.20 which was paid on the spot. However, it is unknown how the Honda driver managed to get away with it for so long.
Netizens have expressed their anger towards this because they believe that the driver got off with a light fine.
Toll jumpers might be more common than you think. Some comments that were shared also include experiences about being tailed by these people to speed past the boom gate before they close.
What do you think? Should the fine be increased, or is all forgiven? Either way, don’t jump tolls.
