Three Foreigners Caught in Phuket for Illegal Motorcycle Modifications

Three foreigners were caught in Phuket for illegal motorcycle modifications during a police checkpoint near the Holiday Inn Resort. A 29-year-old Frenchman and two Russian nationals were stopped for installing illegal accessories and excessively loud exhaust pipes. Their motorcycles, a Yamaha TMAX, Honda CB650R, and Kawasaki Z1000, violated Thai traffic laws. They were taken to the Karon Police Station and may face fines of up to 2,000 baht for vehicle alterations and 1,000 baht for exceeding noise limits. Police have not yet disclosed the final penalties.

How about impounding the bikes until they un-modify the bikes.

How about not just targeting foreigners when masses of Thais are tearing around on noisy, illegal bikes with no licence and no insurance?
