THE Road Transport Department (RTD) has set three conditions for the Special Transition Programme for the motorcyclists' Licence (LMM) Class B2/B1 to LMM Class B.
According to reports in Sinar Harian, the first two conditions are that the applicant must be a Malaysian citizen and must hold a valid and continuously effective Class B2/B1 competent driving licence (CDL).
The third condition is that the applicant must be free from any blacklist or outstanding summons, transaction restrictions, records of serious offences, or any unresolved matters under Act 333.
RTD director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said eligible holders of the Class B2/B1 LMM can apply to participate in the special program starting from today.
He said those interested can check their eligibility for the programme through the MyJPJ app, the mySIKAP public portal (https://public.jpj.gov.my), or at JPJ counters.
"Those eligible can visit any of the 180 selected driving institutes across Malaysia that offer this programme.
"Licence holders must self-declare their physical, bodily, and mental health during registration at the driving institute," he said as reported by Sinar Harian.
Aedy said the response towards the programme has been good and his department is also taking steps to upgrade the MyJPJ app to ensure it can handle a high volume of requests.
He also said that the maximum fee set for driving institutes under this special programme is RM160.
"This fee includes student registration and insurance, the transition and adaptation course (two hours), service fees (including vehicle and circuit rental), and the JPJ test fee.
"The programme aims to upgrade holders of LMM Class B2/B1 to Class B, subject to the stipulated conditions, and there will be no new applications for obtaining LMM Class B1 at driving institutes," he added. - October 1, 2024
