Move to codify vehicle modifications fails to impress Gen Z motorists
The Kerala Motor Vehicles Department has released a report on vehicle modifications, but the findings have disappointed Gen Z motorists who expected more liberalized rules. While the report permits minor aesthetic changes, it maintains strict regulations on major mechanical alterations.
Why it matters
The report reflects the tension between youth car culture and government safety and compliance standards in the automotive sector.
The Motor Vehicles department (MVD) has taken the first step towards permitting vehicle modifications sought by motor enthusiasts and vehicle modification agencies in the State. The State Transport Commissioner has prepared a report identifying modifications that can be carried out on vehicles. However, the report appears to have disappointed many Gen Z motorists, as most of the modifications listed were already being permitted in the State.
The article balances the government's regulatory perspective with the public's expectations.
