Car owner fined Rs 1.11 lakh for modifying silencer to spit fire, make loud noise

BENGALURU: A vehicle owner from Hennur has been fined Rs 1,11,500 for modifying his car’s silencer and making excessive noise in public. The individual had altered the car’s silencer, added stickers, and was driving around, making loud noises, spitting fire and sharing videos of it on social media.

The Hennur traffic police tracked down the car and imposed the fine. The car had previously been involved in other traffic offences, which contributed to the hefty fine. The police seized the car and are taking further action.

Fire from the exhaust? Expect the cost. Public roads aren’t stunt posts.

ಸಾರ್ವಜನಿಕ ರಸ್ತೆಗಳು ಸ್ಟಂಟ್ ಮಾಡುವ ಜಾಗವಲ್ಲ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ವಾಹನದ ಎಕ್ಸಾಸ್ಟ್ (Exhaust) ಮಾರ್ಪಡಿಸಿ ಕಿಡಿ ಅಥವಾ ಬೆಂಕಿ ಹೊರಬರುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಕಾನೂನುಬಾಹಿರ. ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಾಹಸಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕ ಬೆಲೆ ತೆರಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂಬುದು ನೆನಪಿರಲಿ.#NoStunts… pic.twitter.com/c6cJOShJaW
