Re: Kerala MVD announces crackdown on "artistic" number plates

All these posts about removing team-bhp stickers makes no sense to me. Are you guys also going to remove your Fastag stickers going by the same logic? The commissioner clearly said that the department was looking for cooling films that cover the entire windshield. I don't know why everyone is so worried about stickers that are no more than a few inches long. Someone somewhere have blown this out of proportion with the help of WhatsApp university. Some of the claims made on those audio clips simply sounded absurd to me, and I would really like to see the tickets they received citing those violations. Let us not fall prey to such allegations in this forum as well. I suggest fellow BHPians to not take any action in haste. Unless of course you're running a clearly illegal modification.

No Adrian. He was referring to sun films on glasses. He made it clear that there's no such penalty on small stickers.

Nice to see an Amby sporting a T BHP sticker

Re: Kerala MVD announces crackdown on "artistic" number plates

Kerala HC has made an interesting observation. The court believes that measures including recent MVD fine collection drive are a part of strategy by the government to improve financial situation of the state in order to prepare ground for salary enhancement for government officials. The headline itself reads "salary enhancement squeezing the common man."

Re: Kerala MVD announces crackdown on "artistic" number plates

https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/ec...s-5580741.html

From the article :

//According to the new rules, the manufacturer should ensure there is a provision for pillion handholds on the side of the motorcycle or behind the driver seat and it shall comply with the requirement specified in IS: 14495-1998, footrests for the pillion rider on both sides of the motorcycle and protective device covering not less than half portion of the rear left wheel of the motorcycle so as to prevent the clothes of the person sitting on the pillion getting entangled in the rear wheel.

The windscreen and window glass of motorcycles should be made of safety glass or safety glazing material.

The windscreen and window glass of motor vehicles should have its face to the front. The safety glass or safety glazing of the windscreen and rear window of every motor vehicle shall be so manufactured as to provide not less than 70 percent visual transmission of light. The safety glass or safety glazing should provide at least 50 percent visual transmission of light.

Motorcycles fitted with a light-weight container shall meet the following requirements: (a) the dimensions of the container shall not exceed 550 mm in length, 510 mm in width and 500 mm in height; (b) weight of the container including its mounting and load carried therein shall not exceed 30 kgs.; (c) if the container is fitted on the pillion rider space, no pillion rider shall be allowed, provided that the weight of container including its mounting and load.//


So the question : Are they referring to motorcycle panniers by this light weight container ? and looks like we will be getting wheel covering panels on both sides too and a crackdown on ladakh carriers and luggages.


Edit : Rushlane has a copy of the notification in their website
