Can this car clear carpark height restrictions? Honda Civic with towering spoiler sparks questions online

Vehicle modifications have long been a form of self-expression, a way to signal belonging to a community, or simply a means of improving performance and comfort.

To this end, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) even has a section on understanding vehicle modifications on the OneMotoring website, outlining which modifications require approval and which do not.

But one Honda Civic owner appears to have taken self-expression to new heights.

Since Sunday, a video of the car travelling on Singapore's roads has been making the rounds on social media.

The video shows the vehicle fitted with a towering rear spoiler that extends well above the car's roofline, while its width appears to remain within regulations.

According to LTA's guidelines listed on the OneMotoring website, spoilers should not protrude from the car body laterally or longitudinally.

They must also not have sharp corners or edges, and should not obstruct the driver's view.

On Facebook page Singapore Incidents, some social media users asked if the spoiler could clear height restrictions at multi-storey carparks.

While height limits vary between carparks, some older HDB multi-storey carparks have restrictions as low as 1.8m, while others allow vehicle heights up to 2.1m or more.

Others suggested various uses for the oversized spoiler, including cheeky comments such as using it to hang laundry or as a makeshift table.

Earlier in June, during one of its routine enforcement operations against illegal vehicle modifications , LTA found 70 vehicles fitted with illegal exhausts, 80 vehicles with improper lights, and 90 vehicles displaying improper number plates.

Motorists who are found guilty of carrying out illegal modifications on their vehicles could face fines of up to $20,000 and/or two years' imprisonment.

LTA reminded motorists in its post-operation statement that it will continue to take firm action against offenders to keep Singapore's roads safe.

车辆改装长期以来都是一种自我表达的方式，一种表明自己属于某个群体的方式，或者仅仅是提高性能和舒适度的一种手段。

为此，陆路交通管理局 (LTA) 甚至在其 OneMotoring 网站上设立了一个关于了解车辆改装的版块，概述了哪些改装需要批准，哪些改装不需要批准。

但一位本田思域车主似乎将自我表达提升到了新的高度。

自周日以来，一段汽车在新加坡道路上行驶的视频一直在社交媒体上流传。

视频显示，该车辆安装了一个高耸的后扰流板，其高度远远高于车顶线，而其宽度似乎仍符合规定。

根据 LTA 在 OneMotoring 网站上列出的指导方针，扰流板不应从车身横向或纵向突出。

它们也不能有尖角或尖锐的边缘，也不应阻挡驾驶员的视线。

在 Facebook 页面 Singapore Incidents 上，一些社交媒体用户询问扰流板是否可以突破多层停车场的限高规定。

虽然不同停车场的限高规定有所不同，但一些较老的组屋多层停车场限高1.8米，而另一些则允许车辆高度达到2.1米或更高。

其他人则提出了各种利用超大扰流板的方法，包括一些俏皮的建议，例如用它来晾衣服或当临时桌子。

6 月初，陆路交通管理局在一次例行执法行动中，查获了 70 辆非法改装车辆的车辆、80 辆不合格的车辆和 90 辆不合格的车辆。

被判非法改装车辆的驾驶员可能面临最高 20,000 美元的罚款和/或两年监禁。

陆路交通管理局在行动后的声明中提醒驾车人士，将继续对违法者采取严厉措施，以确保新加坡道路安全。
