Abstract

Motorcycle modifications, particularly exhaust alterations, have raised concerns as police and the Road Transport Department announced penalties for offenders. Despite the illegality and negative impacts, many owners remain indifferent. This study evaluates public perceptions of summonses issued before full enforcement. Using SPSS regression analysis, results show that most respondents believe modified exhausts harm public order and the environment. The findings highlight the importance of public awareness regarding such offences and may guide future reviews of summons rates and fines. Authorities should address quality management to enhance rider and user satisfaction.
