Sri Lanka Cracks Down on Flashy, Noisy Vehicles

COLOMBO (News 1st); Starting today, Sri Lankan police will strictly enforce laws against dangerous and unauthorized vehicle modifications across the country.

According to police, vehicles equipped with illegal sound systems, flashing multi-colored lights, and unauthorized electrical accessories will be subject to immediate legal action.

These modifications, often seen in private vehicles and public transport, have raised serious safety and noise concerns.

In addition to lighting and sound systems, vehicles fitted with excessively loud silencers and noisy exhaust pipes will also be targeted under the new enforcement drive.

Police officers have been deployed island-wide to inspect vehicles and ensure compliance with the regulations.
