JPJ Is On The Hunt For Vehicle Owners That Use Modified Horns With Rhythmic Tones

Lately, the trend of using modified horns with rhythmic tones can be seen to be on the rise especially among bus and also lorry drivers and this irresponsible action has been disturbing other road users. Therefore, the Selangor State Road Transport Department (JPJ) has carried out the enforcement operation to hunt drivers that are still using this type of horn around Selangor. This operation is done so that this disturbing type of horn will never be used again.

Selangor State JPJ also has stressed that a fine of up to a total of RM2,000 and also imprisonment of up to 6 months awaits road users with vehicles that use modified horns. According to a statement, the enforcement operation against the use of these modified horns has been done within the state since 1 March after receiving complaints from the public.

According to the Selangor State JPJ, enforcement against vehicles that install these rhythmic horns as an accessory has been sued under Rule 24 (i) of the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) Rules 1959, namely installing horns more than one tone. Vehicles installing this kind of horn have also been taken action with the issuance of a Notice of Prohibition of the Use of Vehicles (PG1).

Vehicle owners who have been compounded must attend an inspection at any nearby JPJ Office to ensure that the vehicle has been taken corrective action by removing the installed rhythmic horns and a Vehicle Use Prohibition Withdrawal Notice (PG2) will be issued after the vehicle inspection is made. The compound also needs to be clarified or the case was taken to court for further action.

JPJ stated that continuous enforcement will be done against any offenses to make sure that road users obey the rules and regulations on the road.
