The Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) today granted permission allowing three-wheelers to have certain appliances fitted to trishaws, such as decorations, etc., DMT Commissioner General Nishantha Anurudda Weerasinghe said.
The permission was granted based on continuous discussions with three-wheeler associations and according to the Motor Traffic Act.
The permission came into effect on Monday (10).
Accordingly, DMT allows the modification of three-wheelers under thirty categories with a maximum charge of Rs. 2,500 and a minimum of Rs. 500, which some of the categories come under, without a payment.
Rs. 2500 will be charged to modify the single-light main lap to a dual-light system and to modify their windscreen.
Rs. 1,000 will be charged to fix LED lamps instead of the Tungston lamps, to fix wind deflectors, to make modifications using fiber, and to upgrade the brake system.
Rs. 2,000 will be charged to fix additional stainless steel modifications.
Rs. 500 will be charged for the external fixing of a muffler and adding side mirrors.
However, five other categories were mentioned that allowed modifications without payments. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)

Are they allowed to run on two wheels tilted to one side. There are many videos in the social media of such stunts.

Head of institute has identified the biggest problem. Lol. One of the worst government institutes. When are you going to give the driving license of who are waiting for more than 2 years now. RW should interdict the current head and appoint someone capable of solving that matter and who can think of modern solutions than this kind of jokes. Current head thinks the reciept given as temporary license will last for 4-5 years. Because of his poor capabilities RW will also get the blame from people.

True, DMT should be run by professionals and not by military. This may be the reason, why military was printing the licence and we have a huge backlog.

When Generals have the mindset of a private these things happen. Monkeys on three wheels will really appreciate this.
