Mr Lim Biow Chuan asked the Minister for Transport
a. in the past two years, how many drivers have been issued with summons and fined for illegally modifying their cars; and
b. whether any action is taken against the car workshops that have carried out the illegal modifications.
Reply by Senior Minister of State for Transport Dr Amy Khor:
1. In the past two years, LTA has issued an average of 610 notices of offence per month to owners of illegally modified vehicles. These include the installation of non-compliant exhaust(s), lighting systems, and tinted windows.
2. Any person who illegally modifies a vehicle can similarly be penalised under the Road Traffic Act. LTA will investigate and take action against workshops if they are found to have engaged in illegal modification activities.
