He gets a fine for having a license plate that is too small

In Malaysia, the driver of a motorcycle probably received one of the most unusual and unusual fines of the moment. In this Asian country, the law strictly regulates the modification of license plates. Unlike France, where these customizations are very limited, it is possible to change your plate at the discretion of the motorist.

However, certain limits must be respected. And in Malaysia the main limit is l’extravagance. More precisely, a license plate must remain a plate and must, at least, be legible. THE motorcycle owner paid the price for these rules. He actually got a fine because his plate is too small!

A disproportionately small license plate

As reported The Straits Timethis motorcyclist had the particularity of having installed a license plate no bigger than a finger. He was caught by the Malaysian police when they decided to carry out a large-scale special operation aimed at cracking down on illegal activities involving motorcycles.

On the second day of the operation, on September 2, the police came across this surprising violation of the Malaysian Highway Code. Officers discovered this particularly small license plate, almost the size of a fingernail. It would thus be the smallest plate in the world. However, the police did not appreciate this fantasy and decided to sanction the owner of the motorcycle in question.

But, according to her, this is not the only surprising offense involving a motorcycle that was handed down on the same day. Malaysian police had checked 1,302 motorcycles, of which more than 200 were confiscated. In addition, 642 fines were imposed on motorcyclists for various infractions, such as not wearing a helmet and not obeying traffic lights.

Naturally, it was the fine for having a license plate that was too small that attracted the most attention. Photos of this tiny plaque, whose numbers were even pixelated, quickly went viral on the internet. Several Internet users found it amusing. Unfortunately for the motorcyclist, this is not the case for the police.
