KAJANG: Three main conditions have been set for the Special Transition Programme for the motorcyclists’ Licence (LMM) Class B2/B1 to LMM Class B which has been fixed at RM160, says the Road Transport Department (JPJ).
The first two conditions are that the applicant must be a Malaysian citizen and they must hold a valid and continuously effective Class B2/B1 competent driving license (CDL).
As for the third, the applicant must be free from the blacklist or any outstanding summons, transaction restrictions, records of serious offences, or any unresolved matters under Act 333.
JPJ 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 Tuesday (Oct 1).
Motorcyclists, he said, can check if they are eligible for the programme through the MyJPJ app, the mySIKAP public portal ( 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 was quoted by Sinar Harian as telling reporters after attending a session to observe the programme at the Amsa Bangi Driving Academy here on Tuesday.
The B2 licence allows holders to ride motorcycles only up to 250cc while motorcycles 500cc and above require the rider to hold the higher B licence.
Public response towards the programme has been high, said Aedy, adding that his department is also taking steps to upgrade the MyJPJ app to ensure it can handle a high volume of access 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 said.
