JAKARTA - The Banyumas Police again held a raid on non-standard exhausts or Brong exhausts. The raids were carried out by joint officers from the Banyumas Police and the ranks of the Banyumas Police in their respective areas.

Banyumas Police Chief Kombes Pol Edy Suranta Sitepu through Banyumas Traffic Police Chief Commissioner Bobby Anugrah Rachman said this raid was carried out in order to control motorized vehicles with exhaust or noisy exhausts that did not meet specifications (standard exhaust).

"The raid is focused on users of the Brong exhaust because apart from being noisy and disturbing hearing, the Brong exhaust can also cause accidents and inconvenience to other drivers," said Traffic Head in a written statement, Wednesday, June 29.

Edy added, in the exhaust raid, joint officers conducted an examination of non-standard vehicles and issued a ticket and then brought evidence to the Banyumas Police Satlantas office.

"We give fines for violators and after the trial the violators can take evidence of the Brong exhaust vehicle, then they are required to replace it with a standard exhaust and destroy the Brong exhaust so that it is not reused," explained the Head of Traffic.

According to Kasat then, this activity has been routinely carried out since the 2022 Candi Obey Operation starting from 13 - 26 June 2022.

"So far, since the last 14 days, we have taken action against 800 violators specifically for the Brong exhaust," he said.

In addition to conducting raids, officers also invite and appeal to the public to follow and comply with traffic regulations so that they no longer use Brong exhaust.
