“Many of them did not wear helmets and some would even ignore the red light”, it wrote, highlighting that these are issues that would cause life-threatening accidents.
However, from their operation that occurred within 2pm to 7pm, one particular bike has caught their attention! While certain modifications are permissible, it seems like this motorcyclist has decided to modify is car registration plate. Apparently, the motorcyclist has modified it to the size of a finger, causing the authorities to be unable to see the numbers on it.
Subsequently, the post was shared to a Facebook group, where plenty of netizens have called the license plate as the world’s smallest car plate. According to the road transport act 1987, any use or installation of confusing or obscure license plate is an offence punishable by a fine of not less than RM300 and not more than RM3,000.
