Rider caught with modified bike, no licence or insurance
KUALA LANGAT: The Road Transport Department (RTD) seized a heavily modified Yamaha Y15 motorcycle during an enforcement operation here.
Checks showed that the motorcycle was missing its rear brake caliper, a crucial safety component, at the time it was stopped.
Selangor RTD director Azrin Borhan said the rider was stopped during an operation at Km9 of Jalan Klang Banting.
"The rider had not only made extreme modifications to the motorcycle, but also did not possess a valid driving licence.
"Furthermore, the motorcycle was uninsured, and its road tax had expired," he said when contacted today.
Azrin said the young man claimed he used the motorcycle to commute to work in Port Klang.
He added that among the violations detected were the absence of rear brakes, undersized tyres, and modified swingarm and sprocket components.
"Selangor RTD continuously monitors and acts on all complaints to ensure vehicles comply with road and traffic regulations.
"Members of the public may submit complaints regarding traffic offences to aduantrafik@ or via the eAduan application, including full details of the complaint," he said.
