Whereas Article (4) proof of garage ownership as referred to in paragraph (3) is a requirement for the issuance of a Motorized Vehicle Number Certificate. And article (5) Further provisions regarding the ownership of motorized vehicles are regulated by a Governor Regulation.

Harlem Simanjuntak emphasized that his party will also take action against motorized vehicles parked in residential areas for security reasons if at any time a disaster occurs and road access is blocked by vehicles parked on the shoulder of the road. "Actually, you can't get a STNK, but if you are forced to get a STNK now, once you park on the road, we have to tow it," he said.

Sanctions that will be imposed include the transportation of cars by the DKI Dishub to the revocation of the Vehicle Number Certificate. "There are those who protest why the settlements are also being towed. I asked who this car belongs to? Who owns the road? The local regulation states that it is mandatory to own or control the garage," he said.
