The Kelantan road transport department (JPJ) has seized 13 luxury vehicles worth nearly RM5 million during a statewide operation conducted since July 1.
Kelantan JPJ director Misuari Abdullah said the operation, which targeted imported and luxury vehicles, was conducted to ensure adherence to road transport laws.
He said the main offences included expired motor vehicle licences, no insurance coverage, driving without a licence, and document falsification.
“There are luxury car owners who go as far as using fake registration numbers to avoid detection, as well as cases of luxury vehicles being driven by foreigners without valid driving licences,” Bernama quoted him as saying today.
He said the makes of the seized vehicles included the Toyota Vellfire, Toyota Alphard, BMW 523i, Ford Mustang Fastback, Mercedes E250 CGI, and Nissan GTR.
Misuari said Kelantan JPJ recorded 10,233 offences involving expired licences, 8,432 cases of no insurance coverage, and 11,004 cases of driving without a licence from January to July.
