Fine for Overstaying on N-S Highway



The toll has gone up 10% on the N-S Highway and now for the first time we are told that there is a fine for overstaying. It appears that PLUS has set a time limit for the duration a vehicle can stay on the highway after entry. See this story in the STAR about this tow-truck driver who was shocked when he was fined RM10 for spending more than three hours on the Jelapang-Kuala Kangsar stretch of the N-S Expressway. A trip normally costing RM3.50 was hiked up to RM13.50.
When this form of highway 'robbery' started? Does anyone know? Has PLUS got the right to impose such a fine? Will DS Samy like to enlighten and clarify?
According to the report in the STAR, PLUS has the following to say ::
PLUS advised the said tow truck driver to write in to the concessionaire to explain on why he took more than three hours to make a journey that normally takes an hour.
Users who were fined but have valid reasons for delays can contact PLUS at 03-7981 8000 or lodge a complaint at the nearest toll plaza.

In the meanwhile, the next time you enter the highway do ask the ticketing officer how long you are alllowed to stay. For even if you have valid reasons to stay longer, you will have to undergo the hassle of explaining to PLUS why you have overstayed! So remember, if you need a break and forty-winks or a bite or a leak, don't overstay!
Check out also Opposition Leader, Lim Kit Siang's media statement :: "PLUS given 24-hour ultimatum to immediately withdraw unilateral, arbitrary and illegal fines on North-South Expressway users for allegedly “overstaying” in the expressway or face nation-wide protests."
