While waiting for his car's petrol tank to be filled at a station in Johor, the driver of a Singapore-registered gold BMW 320i switched his licence plates to that registered to a Hyundai car before speeding on a Malaysian highway.

The incident on May 18 has prompted an investigation by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) which told The Straits Times that the owner of the Hyundai vehicle has filed a report with the authority.
