the summon din state the compound amount, just told me to attend court on the stated date in the compound!!!! But i asked JPJ officers as well, it is not an offense as long as not blue in color!!!!!

ya, i think so....where got 'lampu yang tidak bersilau'? of coz all headlights can silau, so i think they simply charge and din state properly what type of lamp i modified, the exceeded color heat and so on...his patrol car lampu also can silau la!

i checked d, they charged me under the same law of JPJ, its under akta pengangkutan 1987 (ignore the jpj site, in which they have typing error - 1897 - this year malaysia also not yet established), it means that they simply charge me...really raja!!!

huh? bro, does it mean that HID lights restriction only comes inforced after july?

thats the question bro, i also worried....dunno compound how much...attend court some more, like installing HID is a serious crime...if not they should have ban the sale of HID lights and restrict production car from installing it as a standard accessory....

dude, u know how i suspect, i told him ok, tulis la, i know my offense, u tulis la, den he still talk alot, if i tulis u might be gantung lesen and pay compound and so on...bla bla bla, ask me think twice somemore...i said nvm la, just tulis (in fact i still have lots of summons i kena den i just ignored ) but to my surprise that thing is not summon! it told me to go to court to settle!!

that nite i was curious also, no speeding, not overtaking, no jump red light, did no offense at all, suddenly being pulled over and said i use white light...heck, i have been using it for almost 1 and half year and gone through JPJ block and police road block, none of the time i kena, suddenly out of nothin being pulled over and said my lampu is putih bersilau...isn't it ridiculous???

from the article that i read, it said that for the time being they'll only issue notice to all car owners caught wid HID as a WARNING only, it seems like my summon (to bring me to court) isn't a notice at all...it doesnt make sense here at all as the JPJ has stated CLEARLY that the law only comes to inforce in July...so it's obviously not fair for me at all....i'm wrongly charged....aren't they're supposed to issue me notice like they have stated instead of giving me order to go to court?

Let me clarify the scenario here....ya, to fit aftermarket HID is considered illegal on the road, of coz most aftermarket HID doesnt come wid anti glare, if it comes standard wid anti glare, i'm sure most ah beng wont waste money fit it in their car anymore coz they lose their 'YENGness'. but i choose it is for the sake of improved visibility.

the main problem now is, they (the police) charge me wid installing aftermarket HID but din STATE clearly their charge, they said i modify lampu bersilau, but they din state which type of lampu yang bersilau. does he mean that a halogen lamp yang bersilau gile gile or spot light darn bersilau. and if bersilau, how bersilau is bersilau? color heat, height of the beam and so on...PLUS as some members have mentioned earlier that the law is NOT YET ENFORCED (enforce in july). they are supposed to issue me notice as stated clearly by JPJ. the fella (officer) lacks professionalism, not up to date, did nothing to inspect the lamp, lack of technical knowledge B4 act on charging me...

if the law is enforced and i'm wrong, of coz i dun mind being compounded, coz i'm indeed wrong. but to put charge under term like 'modifikasi lampu putih silau' is too layman to be considered a court case, so obvious that he wanted to cari makan only....

bro, if HID is dangerous, den manufacturers wont fit those crappy lights as standard accessory...if i have the intention to look darn yeng and for the sake of blinding others, i'd prefer 16,000 instead....

do u understand wut is goin on? if u r here to shoot HID users, u can consider open another thread to do so...the main idea of this thread is to discuss injustice whether or not i'm wrong....no offense...chill bro...

I wish to fight in the court also but it will definitely eat my time...

i really dun get 1 thing...if let say gov dun wan us to use HID, they must at 1st stop all aftermarket HID manufacturers like Borsch, OSram, phillips from selling it...if its illegal on the road den y gov dun ban it from selling?

its kinda ridiculous and its just like gov dun wan ppl to take drug and at the same time let drug pusher to sell drugs....

if gov gonna curb HIDs, they SHOULD at FIRST stop manufacturers from SELLING HIDs in the market...and they DIN state clearly that wut type of lamp is illegal and wut color temp....its a failure that the gov failed to synchronize everythin up to link between the JPJ law and the police out-of-date knowledge in law....

if HIDs is widely available in the market (not underground black market), even in Lowyat.net garage sales, dun blame road users on installing it in their cars....no sellers, den of coz no buyers coz road users are not well informed of the rules and regulations available, plus HID is so common now, even merely 200bucks u can get 1 install in ur ride....

they instead of blaming on their failure in law administration, they blame on road users...wut about sellers that earned alot from the sales of HID? DO they really know that wut they are selling are illegal? if only stock HIDs are allow, they should only sell HIDs as factory replacement, not aftermarket....(for example alat ganti for camry or civic, not available for other rides which have no factory fitted HID)

dude, u have to differentiate between discouraged and disallowed, gov DISCOURAGE smoking, thats y they dun compound ppl for smoking, of coz cigarette is available widely...but now they said they wanna disallow HID, it means they are gonna compound u for using it, it means illegal, y are sellers still be allowed to sell? thats the obvious difference...

ok...thanks for the advice...i think i'll pay that branch a visit and convert that paper to summon...

it is supposed to be notice according to JPJ and no summons (B4 july), but anyways, i'll pay that branch a visit and see what will they issue...i cant really argue anythin wid em coz they are 'telor' (the law)...they say i'm wrong wut can i do? i wan no fuss...sigh....

how much is the summon?how much u paid?

Y u must discriminate those use HID lights?anything wrong?

But the problem is i've checked the JPJ website and it was not stated that halogen white n HID is prohibited...If they say cannot, den y dun have such regulation stated?At least after market users will know...

but the problem is the police is nt traffic police..normal blue collar shirt police...and i called up JPJ just now and they said they are not sure when the rules of cannot be install HID enforced...even JPJ themself dunno how do they expect us to know?
