A driver’s attempt to evade Road Transport Department Malaysia (JPJ) enforcement officers failed after he was eventually caught hiding beside a building in Alor Setar, Kedah.
According to Kedah JPJ, enforcement officers managed to track down the driver of a Toyota Vellfire during an operation along the highway in the state.
Outstanding summonses and other offences
Checks found that the MPV had more than 20 outstanding AES summonses amounting to over RM6,000.
When questioned by officers, the driver gave an excuse, claiming that the summonses “only showed up” in 2026.
The vehicle was also found to be without valid road tax and insurance coverage.
“A Toyota Vellfire driver’s attempt to evade authorities by hiding the vehicle beside a building failed after enforcement officers managed to track it down during an operation along the Sultanah Bahiyah Highway,” the post read.
Despite the excuse, JPJ officers still issued summonses and a seizure order for the vehicle at the scene.
“JPJ stressed that fleeing or attempting to hide a vehicle will not stop authorities from taking action against owners who fail to comply with road laws,” the department added.
