Is your vehicle illegally modified

Your vehicle must have the same color and tire size as stated in the vehicle registration document. Also, the tires must not be protruding from the vehicle.

Then, according to the August 6, 1988 Gazette, it is sufficient to reduce the noise emitted by the engine of the vehicle to a considerable extent, but a silencer or an external chamber or other device must be used for this.

The issue here is that there are no recommended maximum dB values ​​for the noise emitted.

The Ishta Rup Law, which has been a problem for everyone, has been amended on June 30, 1989.

So here it is said that in order to prevent bumps protruding from the two headlights of the vehicle, a metal frame or Ishta Rup should not be installed or brought to the vehicle.

But like this If the Commissioner General of Motor Transport is satisfied that the installation will not cause damage to property or persons and that it is technically necessary for the vehicle, he may obtain approval.

Also, if a complete image is more than 5 inches high from the bonnet of the vehicle, it should not be installed or carried on the bonnet. It cannot be installed in a way that covers the left and rear doors.

Finally, it has been recorded in the order dated 1906 05 16 that no other markings other than vehicle markings and product markings should be affixed under the Motor Vehicles Regulations without the written permission of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.

So, in such a problematic situation, what everyone can do is to join hands with your Car Community and provide this Awareness. Because by being aware, we can all together correct some shortcomings and request legal corrections.
