Owners of seized luxury vehicles must first arrange all contribution, including road tax, insurance and togetherBefore they can get their cars back, Minister of Transport Anthony Loke said, according to a Declared report.
On reports that some owners were willing to pay the (minimum) RM300 fine, because it was cheaper than the annual road tax, Loke said: “Vehicles that are seized by road tax and insurance will only be released after all payments have been settled. This includes road tax, insurance and fines.
Will the fine be walked? Loke replied that the Ministry is evaluating the proposal and that any increase would require hands in existing legislation.
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has reportedly identified more than 1,000 luxury vehicles in Malaysia with long -versed road tax, some of which are apparently owned by celebrities and prominent business figures who claim that the cars are only used as ‘weekend cars’. ‘Forget‘(I forgot) is another excuse, also popular with some who are not caught wearing safety belts.
JPJ’s recent OPS Luxury and Ops Luxury 2.0 Crackdowns have seized at least 150 of such cars, including 10 by the Negro Sembilan chapter. A few days ago it was reported that a senior lawyer said he was told that it was cheaper to pay a maximum RM3,000 fine for not having the required documents compared to paying thousands for road tax and insurance of a luxury car.
“The People touch Saman Explained that it was better to pay the (minimal) RM300 fine, because it was cheaper and more worthwhile compared to paying RM5,000 for road tax and more than RM10,000 for insurance for its continental car. If he just keeps driving without road tax and insurance and receives a fine, the maximum is only RM3,000. It’s more worth it, “he said Daily news.
“If he had an accident and hit a member of the public while he has no coverage for vehicle insurance, the victim or their family would not be able to submit claims. Ultimately, they would have to bear all judicial and medical costs themselves.
“Legal costs can reach RM10,000 to RM40,000, excluding medical and other legal costs. Even if they win the case, there is no guarantee that they will receive the compensation money,” he added.
