The Malaysian Road Transport Department (JPJ) from the State of Melaka has taken strict action against a BMW 5 Series luxury sedan that was detected committing a serious violation of the Malaysian road law in an enforcement operation carried out last week.
The investigation found that the vehicle was using the registration number owned by Modenas Kriss motorcycle (trying to save money on road tax and insurance and also to avoid speeding and parking summonses) and this means the BMW was not legally registered with the authorities.
The Melaka JPJ took action and the vehicle in question was impounded immediately for further investigation and action taken against the driver under the provisions of the Road Transport Act 1987.
The owner of the vehicle is also suspected to be a person claiming to be of ‘VVIP’ status. However, JPJ Negeri Melaka would like to assert that the enforcement is carried out without choosing rank or status. No one is immune from legal action.
JPJ will continue to intensify operations to ensure that all vehicles on Malaysian roads comply with the rules for the safety of all road users.
