webfact Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Patong police visit motorbike garages to warn them about illegal modifications By The Thaiger PHOTOS: Patong Provincial Police Patong police paid a visit to several motorcycle garages yesterday (July 25) in order to clarify that motorcycle racing is illegal and modifying motorcycles in certain ways can be illegal as well – modified exhausts, removing side mirrors, extra large tyres, air horns, etc. The police ‘drop in’ only asked for cooperation and requested owners and staff them to inform law enforcement if such requests are made to modify bikes. Police told garage staff, in case motorcycle racers or riders who use illegally modified vehicles are arrested, the garage owner who allowed the modifications will be arrested as well. The response follows month of complaints by residents and business about motorbikes zooming around late at night in Patong’s back streets, creating chaos, noise and unsafe road conditions. Crackdown on motorbike racers HERE. And a similar story from Pattaya HERE. And one from Krabi HERE.

lust Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Punish the shops? Lol, what? They perform a service. There’s nothing illegal about modifying anything. It’s the user of the vehicle who can be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly they put on extra slim/small bicycle tyres on their scooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullcave Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 In my estimation well over half the motorscooters in Thailand have been modified to make noise. Everybody is looking for attention. Only the police don't seem to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mcseismic Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Now that the visits have been done and the warnings given, that's that problem solved. You can't accuse the police of doing nothing about the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
