BMW displaying suspected fake road tax seized

The Kelantan road transport department (JPJ) recently seized a BMW 320i suspected of displaying a fake road tax sticker that stated an August 2026 expiry instead of the actual July 2025, Bernama reports.

Kelantan JPJ director Mohd Misuari Abdullah said the car was seized under Section 108 of the Road Transport Act 1987 for allegedly displaying a forged document, and that the 20-year old driver, who did not have a valid driving licence, told authorities he’d bought the car online. Further checks revealed that the car had five outstanding speeding tickets.

Ops Hari Raya Aidiladha, during which the BMW was caught, saw Kelantan JPJ inspect 400 vehicles statewide and take action against 230. It issued 256 saman, 10 vehicle use prohibition notices, 10 vehicle detection notices and three inspection order notices.

Seven cars and three motorbikes were detained; found to have committed various offences under the Road Transport Act 1987. Mohd Misuari said the most common offences were driving without a competent driving licence (CDL, 103 cases), having no insurance (56 cases) and expired road tax.
