He said road users were also charged with POL 257 for offences of not having a driving licence, using expired motor vehicle licence, modifying a vehicle and using a telephone while driving.
He said other summonses which involved Singapore-registered vehicles that had not been settled for the same period came to 193,583 summonses worth over RM58 million.
