Ban on imports of used vehicles

Ban on imports of used vehicles

 The Nation
 

BANGKOK: -- The Cabinet yesterday approved the Transport Ministry's proposal to ban import and registration of second-hand vehicles. Four types of vehicles are targeted by the ban: motorcycles, sedans, pick-ups and vehicles that carry more than seven passengers.
 
The ban also aims to prevent or minimise the smuggling of parts used to assemble vehicles that cab then be sold as new.
 
The initiative is viewed as being beneficial to domestic auto-makers as well as for the sake of public safety because ministry officials say many illegally assembled vehicles, especially motorcycles with large engine sizes, were being used for street racing.
