Kuwait’s General Traffic Department has implemented a new regulation requiring vehicle and motorcycle owners to obtain an official repair permit before fixing their exhaust systems. The rule applies to vehicles cited for excessive noise or technical violations.
Owners must first get the permit from a Technical Inspection Department, complete repairs at an authorized facility, and then return for a follow-up inspection to verify compliance. Authorities state the measure aims to streamline repair procedures, ensure adherence to technical standards, and reduce noise pollution.
