The Road Transport Department (JPJ) have detained two young Malaysian brothers after they were spotted operating a Roll On Roll Off (RoRo) lorry in Shah Alam.
The older brother, who is 15 years old, was a passenger while the younger brother, who is 13 years old, was driving the truck. The brothers were apprehended when JPJ enforcement officials had suspicions about the RoRo vehicle.

A ‘mat rempit’ needs no introduction for Malaysian but if you did not already know, is someone who engages in activities such as illegal street racing, bike stunt performance, petty crime, and public disturbance using a motorbike, typically involving 2- and 4-stroke underbone motorcycles known commonly as Kapcai or scooters.
Recently, two motorbike riders were spotted approaching a traffic light that had turned red while speeding. One of the riders performing tricks failed to slow down and stop in time, colliding with a car that was making a U-turn from the opposite direction.

The LBX, which sits below the UX and is the new entry-level Lexus, is an indirect replacement for the long-gone CT hatchback. It is Lexus’ first vehicle in the B-segment ever since
The LBX sits on the GA-B small car global architecture platform which is used for the first time by a Lexus model. The new vehicle now has the essential advantages of a low centre of gravity, broad tracks, small overhangs, and a very robust body thanks to fundamental adjustments made to it to satisfy Lexus’s criteria.

The most notable feature of the design is a new frontal configuration that “breaks” the spindle grille, which has been a defining feature for the past ten years and ushers Lexus into a new age. The seamless, frameless grille creates the spindle-shaped lines of the LBX’s body, adding to the vehicle’s aggressive posture.
A startlingly large number of automakers have returned to the world of prototype racing thanks to the Le Mans Hypercar class. It is unfortunate that Alfa Romeo is not one of them despite its racing heritage. But that doesn’t mean one can’t dream, and so designers like Daniel Kemnitz have shown us what an Alfa Romeo Hypercar could look like.
Kemnitz, a skilled automotive artist from Copenhagen, Denmark, revealed that the idea for his drawing of the Alfa Romeo P7 came to him while he was a student at IED Torino. He admitted, nevertheless, that a number of limitations—including a lack of time and other issues—led to the final project he presented to his academics falling short of his original expectations.
Mini introduced a special “1to6” manual variant last month, which was generally speculated to be its final three-pedal vehicle. Sources inside Mini are now claiming that its manual gearboxes haven’t been completely ruled out for the next-generation Cooper, so those rumours appear to have been premature.
However, if Mini continues to use them, which according to sources is still theoretically viable on the new platform for the car, they won’t be as freely accessible as they were in the past.
