JPJ started drive-through services with the sole purpose of easing the expected crowd coming into offices to renew their driving licences. Earlier this month, JPJ declared that they will no longer be extending the expired driving licence and road tax grace period beyond 30-September-2021.

The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
