MALACCA: Cars that are more than 12 years old are not safe to be on the road, according to Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) director general Profesor Dr Wong Shaw Voon.
"There is a higher risk of death in an accident because such cars could be faulty without the driver being aware of it. Most cars are designed to have a life span of five to 12 years," he told reporters after a car collision test at the Asean New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) laboratory at Tiang Dua here on Tuesday.
