Some two weeks ago, I was driving along Jalan Maharajalela when two men dressed in yellow t-shirts with the logo of an oil company on a motorcycle shouted at me to stop while pointing to my front left tyre.
The above sentence is taken from a reader's letter published by a national English daily.
The logo of an oil company is on t-shirts or on the motorcycle?
If it is the former (and it appears so), the sentence should be clearer when recast as "Some two weeks ago, I was driving along Jalan Maharajalela when two men on a motorcycle and dressed in yellow t-shirts with the logo of an oil company shouted at me to stop while pointing to my front left tyre.
