Police said in a news release on Wednesday (July 8) that the operation involved the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the National Environment Agency (NEA).
About 280 motorcycles were stopped for checks, with 15 motorcyclists aged between 24 and 59 found riding without a valid licence or using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage.
Meanwhile, LTA uncovered 16 offences, including the display of improper licence plates, expired road tax and using a motor vehicle without insurance coverage.

They also warned motorists that the traffic police takes a serious view of errant road users who flout traffic laws and endanger the safety of others.
