The Land Transport Authority issued a total of 2,645 summonses for illegal modification offences for all vehicle types in 2010. These increased to 7,322 in 2011, and 7,239 summonses were issued in the first eight months of this year. The number of motorcycles caught for illegal modifications was 341, 1,175 and 1,405 respectively over the same periods. No offenders were jailed during these periods.

LTA's enforcement actions are currently focused on owners of illegally-modified vehicles; we are tightening the enforcement regime against such owners in the Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill presently before Parliament. No summonses have been issued against motor vehicle workshop owners so far. LTA is reviewing the enforcement regime against workshops.
