From 7 Aug 2003, vehicle owners have to pay a fee of S$20 or S$50 to notify LTA of specific changes made to their cars, lorries or vans. These fees are on top of those to be paid for the vehicle to be checked at an inspection centre. The S$20 fee is for changes, such as attaching a new sunroof, not requiring LTA approval. The S$50 fee is for changes, such as converting a bus to a van, needing LTA's approval. (Straits Times 6 Aug 2003 H4)

  Motorists who need to get their Electronic Road Pricing in-vehicle unit (IU) inspected can now do so at nine other vehicle-inspection centres at Vicom, ST Automotive Inspection and Jurong Inspection Centre. Motorists need only inspect their IUs when the ERP system detects an error in either the IU or the CashCard when a vehicle passes through any ERp gantry in operation. Motorists will then receive a notice asking them to get their vehicles checked at an inspection centre. (Straits Times 17 Nov 2001)(H3)
