SANUMA KOTSU Campaign to eliminate unauthorized modified vehicles

June is the campaign period to eliminate unauthorized modified vehicles!

This campaign is implemented throughout the year, but especially during the “Month of Intensification,” the following items are intensively and aggressively implemented.

1. education to “do not” and “do not allow” tampering, etc.

The Transportation Bureau will actively call for the elimination of unauthorized modified vehicles through publicity using mass media such as posters and flyers, Internet sites, SNS, etc., by holding on-site lectures at auto mechanic training facilities, etc., and by displaying publicity banners on buses with the cooperation of bus operators nationwide.

In particular, we will focus on educating automobile users about the illegality of the use of illegal mufflers in cooperation with automobile-related organizations.

2. conduct street inspections

In order to eliminate illegal mufflers and other maliciously modified vehicles from public roads, street inspections will be intensively conducted nationwide during the enhancement month with the cooperation of police agencies, and maintenance orders will be issued to offending vehicles, which will be strictly punished, including suspension of vehicle use, if not complied with.

3. collection of information on unauthorized modification of vehicles

A “Information Desk for Unauthorized Modified Vehicles and Nuisance Black Smoke Vehicles” will be set up at each transportation branch office, etc., and based on the information received, postcards requesting improvement reports will be sent to users of unauthorized modified vehicles, etc., for effective use in various activities for eliminating unauthorized modified vehicles.
