TP rules on local vehicles

jiayong SG

Why is it that Cars that come with HID lights (those very bright front lights) are approved but cars that change to such lights are not allowed?

Why are turbo charged cars not allowed when they produce much less noise as compared to Harley Davidsons?

Why are cars older than 3 yrs not allowed for import?

Why dooesnt Motor Racing get more legalised in Singapore with the Government giving more responsibility to the citizens for their own lives? Are we not matured enough?

Seriously...i am not challenging the authority...but these are questions that really struck me and i have no answers. Can anyone kindly provide some answers?

Just like today’s paper’s report. You need a lorry license to drive a car over 2.5 tonnes. Technology is going so fast, even policies cannot keep up. hehe

1. Those HID lights are stock lights. They already come with a HID lights and LTA has approved those stock cars with HID. Normal cars are not allowed to fix HID for safety purpose.

Y is dis in Bar?
Shdnt dis topic b posted in Cars...

jiayong SG

this is in bar because it has a point to make slightly against government ruling.

So only mature adults should read and think without bias and comment on the issue

orh....yeah i heard someone said by turbocharging ur NA car is illegal due to singapore's powercut. so if u increase ur car's performance, its no longer powercut. so i guess...u break powercut rules, u break singapore rules. but at least i know singaporeans are disciplined enuff due to rules implied here and there...
