PETALING JAYA: A vehicle gets involved in an accident, is written off as a total loss, and the owner receives compensation. Yet, the vehicle somehow finds its way back on the road.
These vehicles, declared by insurance companies as beyond economic repair (BER), are successfully registered with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and sold to unwitting buyers, says Road Safety Council of Malaysia (RSCM) executive council member Datuk Suret Singh.
