I came across a JPJ roadblock 3 weeks back. They issued me an inspection letter regarding tinted and modification of exhaust. So fine, i teared off my tinted, and thought "ubahsuai exhaust", being written at the offending letter means my exhaust big and noisy (using HKS Hi-Power 4' outlet). So i went and changed back my muffler to NGK 2.75' outlet which i used to inspect at Puspakom PJ during the remake of my vehicle registration card 2 years back. And thought the muffler is approved by Puspakom.do you have 4wd fuel tank?
if got normally they dont kacau bro
So i went to JPJ Padang Jawa on monday since JPJ Wangsa Maju is not operating, which is 1st Feb, Wilayah Day, and my due date is on Tuesday, 2nd Feb.
And everything goes fine, till they keep heading down looking at the underneath of my car, and the officer told me...You using 4wd fuel tank? So i responded, Yes. And he said, your exhaust piping underneath the 4wd fuel tank is illegal, your exhaust is just fine. So you need to change your fuel tank to 2wd and re-route the piping to standard satria piping and make sure your piping is not underneath the fuel tank. So i beg for a lilttle help, and he told me that they can't make the decision, even they approved me here, you also need to go to JPJ Wangsa Maju for another inspection due the letter was issued under W.P.. So the case is refering to W.P. JPJ. (Ok my bad for this one)
A big headache to me. Wondering whether i should change the fuel tank back to 2wd and re-route the piping to standard before i go to JPJ Wangsa Maju for another inspection. I went to discuss with the owner of the muffler installation shop in Sunway, he just asked me to get a runner and settle it for me. So i made few called to runner and 1 of the runner offered me reasonable price for it, and i deal wit it.
Next day, i went to JPJ Wangsa Maju with the same settings. I reached there before the runner did, so he guided me on how to enter the inspection zone. And i, myself do all the procedure, and parked my car on the inspection zone. And finally is my turn, but the runner stil haven't turns up as he is on his way to JPJ from his office.
The officer inspected my car, without looking underneath my car, and said, ok tinted is good, exhaust, hurmmm..not sure whether is ok or not, but nevermind...go, and park your car in front and ask me to wait for the releasing letter of inspection.
So i just paid the runner upon guiding me and being friendly to me even without his help, i do not mind. And everything is settle, but the releasing letter only stated that my tinted is good, and never ever mentioned about my muffler.
I wonder why there are the same government agency, but both parties are pointing the different law, should not there a standardize Road and Transportation Act to follow? Or they're lack of training?
