Darthrevan Supercharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 The Land Transport Authority (LTA) is reviewing the enforcement regime against workshops which illegally modify vehicles. 2,645 summonses were issued for illegal modification offences for all vehicle types in 2010. The figure went up to 7,322 in 2011. For motorcycles, 341 summonses were issued for illegal modifications in 2010, and 1,175 summonses in 2011. In 2012, the figure shot up to 7,239 summonses for illegal vehicle modifications in the first eight months alone. 1,405 summonses were for illegal motorcycle modifications. In a written reply to Parliament, Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said no one has been jailed for illegal modification offences. Enforcement actions are currently focused on owners of illegally modified vehicles. No summonses have been issued against motor vehicle workshop owners so far.

Darryn Turbocharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 Whether or not you sappork the current laws is one thing, but if you are serious about enforcing them, then the workshops should have been chased long long ago... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthrevan Supercharged November 14, 2012 Author Share November 14, 2012 Whether or not you sappork the current laws is one thing, but if you are serious about enforcing them, then the workshops should have been chased long long ago... agreed with ur opinion..they are "enforcing" it to gain the "monetary fines" without addressing the root of the issue..but then again these people who desires to modify their vehicles can always go north Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 If really chasing money... I would think can fine workshops far more than individual. Anyway, just seize the shop records - so who install illegal and fine all one shot - like that very very efficient Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChong Clutched November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 more people got killed by reckless PRC and clueless Bangalas instead of illegal modified cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 more people got killed by reckless PRC and clueless Bangalas instead of illegal modified cars. That's actually a poor argument, you are in effect saying that because the Bangalas etc are worse, this law shouldn't be enforced. May as well say, because some people speed at 140, I shouldn't get a ticket for 120 The law should be argued on its own merits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weichien Clutched November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 People can still go to jb for mod ma not nec sg so I don't think it's a good idea to catch w/s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryn Turbocharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 Just to play devil's advocate, Why should we allow illegal activities here, just because can go JB and do? So next time we all follow JB law? Anyway, that would also make it easy to catch, just sit at causeway and catch people on the way home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 Depends what type of mod, if it don't affect me I don't care. But for those illegal HID that was not properly aligned and shining to high, I support LTA enforcment action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 (edited) legal mods recorded. illegal isnt la. its called not leaving a papar trail It will be there if dig, the time spent working on the car must be recorded, money must be accounted for, parts must be ordered, and will have guarantee etc etc... Stuff cannot disappear into a black hole. Receipt may not say "Illegal mod of exhaust system" - but it most likely will record that an exhaust system was installed, just not specify what type Edited November 14, 2012 by Darryn ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
