Several online traffic summons payment services are running at peak capacity as the deadline to settle traffic summonses at a discount ends today.

A Bernama survey discovered that gaining access to the police, Myeg, and an interactive e-government website, Rilek eService was difficult due to heavy traffic.

The situation is expected to persist until 5pm with traffic offenders expected to settle their summonses by credit cards or by debiting their accounts.

The police website posted a note, notifying motorists that the servers were running at maximum capacity and urged them to get back after 6pm if they have difficulties in checking their summons details.

It also said that it was under urgent maintenance and apologised for the inconvenience.

From tomorrow, motorists will have to pay the full summons fine if they want their names removed from the blacklist.
