“Checks revealed that he did not have a valid driving licence, while the motor vehicle licence (road tax) had expired and the vehicle had no insurance coverage, which lapsed on July 26,” state JPJ director Stien Van Lutam said in a statement.

“Kedah JPJ reminds the public that owning a luxury vehicle does not mean one is immune to the law. Every driver and vehicle on the road must comply with the stipulated regulations,” he added.
