Comment on Most motorists want noise cameras installed to clamp down on loud cars

Electrics cars will make it a non issue but then we will be stuck with the surveillance. Our country is scary. No one cares.

Having said that if you are intentionally being noisy for noisy sake there should be harder punishments. Even lose your license for a bit, it’s not a got given right to drive. You got to earn it.

Electrics cars will make it a non issue

I do not see EVs replacing scooters (which are driven by lower budget commuters). A single unmuffled scooter driving through #Paris at 3am can wake up 10,000 people according to Bruitparif. And don’t forget horns. Assholes will used their horns at 3am on my street. The only thing they give a fuck about is their own convenience.

The idea of harsh punishments works if a vehicle is continuously loud because it will eventually cross paths with a cop. So that position is fair enough. But what about horns? There’s never a cop around when horns are misused.

  Electric scooters are a thing.
  
  In fact they are huge.

    I think not. But then I’m not living in a wealthy part of town. It only takes one of those little fuckers to wake up 10,000 people.

It seems most of the UK has forgotten the 5th of November
