State RTD director Azrin Borhan said the operation, dubbed Op PeWa, was carried out between 7am and 4pm today at Meru and Puncak Alam. "We checked a total of 46 vehicles comprising 44 motorcycles, one car and a lorry. "Of the vehicles checked, we took action against 19 motorcyclists as well as the car and lorry," he said when contacted today. Azrin said a total of 90 summons and 10 notices prohibiting the use of vehicles were issued to the motorists. "We also issued 10 notices to order vehicle inspections as well as 20 notices to detain vehicles for further action. "All 19 motorcycles and the car were seized," he said, adding that among the offences committed were driving without road tax or insurance, not having a valid Competent Driver's License or Goods Driving License, as well as other technical offences. Azrin said they also detected two cases involving underaged driving, two cases involving fancy number plates and four cases involving the misuse of road tax. "In one of the cases, we came across a 15-year-old student who was stopped at the traffic light intersection of Persiaran Kayangan near Section 7, Shah Alam. "He made excuses, saying he was riding the motorcycle belonging to his grandfather to help a friend. "The teenager also told our personnel that his grandfather was aware that he was using his motorcycle," said Azrin. However, the officers did not accept the teen's excuses and his motorcycle was seized. The youngster was also issued with summonses for underaged riding, not using a helmet and not having valid road tax or insurance.

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.
