[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jae-hee] The Iksan Police Station in Jeonbuk has launched a special crackdown on illegal motorcycle modifications.

On the 8th, the Iksan Police Station announced that due to the increase in delivery services amid the spread of COVID-19 and the rise in motorcycle users during the summer, they will conduct a special crackdown along with publicity and guidance on violations of regulations.

The main targets of the crackdown are illegal muffler modifications (Article 34 of the Automobile Management Act: illegal tuning and knowingly operating illegally tuned vehicles, punishable by up to one year imprisonment or a fine of up to 10 million won), and other illegal tunings that pose significant safety concerns will also be intensively targeted.

Along with the special crackdown, the Iksan Police Station plans to visit local two-wheeler repair shops to distribute promotional materials about illegal modifications and simultaneously promote the crackdown on illegal modification activities.

Chief Im Seong-jae said, “There have been continuous complaints that the noise from illegally modified two-wheelers during the summer makes it impossible to keep windows open,” and added, “We will do our best through the special crackdown to reduce the inconvenience for the citizens of Iksan.”
