Law & Rights

Got AES speeding saman but I sure I was under limit, how to appeal?

First, check the saman details online (MyEG, JPJ portal, or PDRM eSaman) - see the date, time, location and the recorded speed. If it is AES, you can request to view the photo evidence at the JPJ/PDRM office. If the plate wrong or it is clearly not your car, you got strong grounds. To appeal: write a formal appeal letter (rayuan) to the issuing authority (JPJ or PDRM depending on saman type), attach evidence (your travel records, toll timestamps, cruise control claim is weak alone though). Go in person to the office is more effective than online. Be polite. I appealed a wrong-location saman and it got cancelled after I showed my Touch n Go log proving I was elsewhere. Timestamp evidence is king.
