10 luxury cars seized in Negeri Sembilan for expired road tax, insurance
Negeri Sembilan JPJ director Hanif Yusabra Yusof said the cars include a Porsche Taycan, Toyota Alphard, and Mini Cooper Countryman. (Bernama pic) SEREMBAN : The Negeri Sembilan road transport department (JPJ) has seized 10 luxury vehicles since January following the owners' failure to renew their road tax and insurance. State JPJ director Hanif Yusabra Yusof said the cars included a Porsche Taycan, Toyota Alphard, and Mini Cooper Countryman. Some of the cars, worth hundreds of thousands of ringgit, had not had their road tax and insurance renewed for almost two years, he said. Hanif said such behaviour posed a serious risk to public well-being as victims of accidents involving uninsured vehicles would face problems with claims for compensation and damage. 'The owners' excuse was that they 'forgot' to renew the road tax and insurance… Such excuses are unacceptable,' he told reporters here today. 'If we can afford to own a vehicle, we must take responsibility for renewing its insurance and road tax. We cannot be negligent. 'The vehicles will be returned to the owners if they comply with all the regulations.' Hanif said the vehicles had been sent to the state JPJ depot for further investigation under the Road Transport Act 1987. He said 10,435 motorists were cited for road tax offences and 7,891 for lacking insurance based on state JPJ records from January to July.

10 luxury cars seized after owners 'forgot' to renew road tax, insurance
SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan Road Transport Department (RTD) has seized 10 luxury vehicles, including a Porsche Taycan, Toyota Alphard, and Mini Cooper, in operations carried out between January and August this year in the state, reports said. Its director, Hanif Yusabra Yusof, was quoted by Kosmo as saying that the vehicles, worth hundreds of thousands to millions of ringgit, were confiscated after their owners were found driving without valid road tax and insurance, in some cases for up to two years. "Some owners claimed they 'forgot', but this excuse is unacceptable as it involves both safety and compliance with the law," he said. Hanif said two of the owners were businessmen in their 30s. The department, he stressed, views the matter seriously as driving without insurance poses a significant risk to public safety. "If these vehicles are involved in an accident, it will burden others who may face difficulties in obtaining compensation or covering repair costs," he said. From January to July this year, the Negri Sembilan RTD recorded 10,435 cases involving expired Motor Vehicle Licences (LKM) and 7,891 cases of vehicles without insurance, all of which resulted in seizures. Hanif said the main offences leading to such action were under Section 23(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, Section 26(1) (driving without a valid competent or probationary driving licence) and Section 91 (driving without valid motor insurance). He urged all vehicle owners and drivers to take responsibility by ensuring their documents and licences are valid and up to date.
