JAKARTA - The emission test raid for two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles began to take firm action in the form of fines by traffic officers which were carried out simultaneously at a number of location points in Jakarta on Friday, September 1.

This emission test raid activity, apart from suppressing air pollution, also encourages the general public to take care of their vehicle engines to pass when conducting emission tests.

The following are tips from the Head of the Central Jakarta Environment Agency (Kasudin LH), Slamet Riyadi, to people who have private vehicles to avoid fines.

"(vehicles) must be treated regularly, so those who know it's a workshop. Especially the official workshop. So if at the ATPM official workshop (the sole agent holding the brand) there is a measuring device for the emission test," he urged when confirmed by VOI, Friday, September 1.

Slamet said people who own vehicles can bring their vehicles regularly to the workshop for regular service.

"So please just take it to the workshops where there is an emission test kit and it has entered the system. So there are several workshops that have been connected to the application emission test monitoring system," he said.

The reason, continued Slamet, was that when the emission test raid was carried out, joint officers would check the standard size of H2O, CO and opacity to the vehicle.

"Those who can measure the tool later. Later it will be seen whether they pass or not. If they do not pass the test, later on the tool there will be writing, do not pass or pass," he said.

Previously, it was reported that joint officers from the Police, the Central Jakarta Environmental Sub-Department (LH) and the Transportation Sub-Department held an emission test raid on a number of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles in the Jalan Industri Raya area, near the PPKK Kemayoran office, Kemayoran District, Central Jakarta, Friday, September 1.
