Ok dumbass how do you adjust your exhaust? You can adjust your speed and sound of your stereo but you can't adjust a stock exhaust. Nice false equivalence
He could just drive normally and his car would never reach the noise level for the ticket. Dude is intentionally driving to make noise. Similar to how bikes can Rev hard to be loud or just drive normally and be less loud.
He states in the article he was slowing down when hitting the area the sound camera was in.
Either way either make the cars illegal or deal. You can't arbitrarily decide a car is illegal at a given moment in time. I get that people are annoyed with the sounds, but that's one of the deals of living in a city. You know how many sirens go by in those area?
Idk if I would believe a dude who got 2 more tickets that same day for speeding in a slow zone and running a red light.
well in the case of the car in the article... maybe don't rev up every 10 meters like the length of your penis depends on it?
Easy, you just drive slower and gently accelerate the car and then it will be far quieter.
In a perfect world we could all be as loud as we wanted all the time and it wouldn't hurt anyone, but people racing up and down residential streets wakes people up and there is data that shows traffic noises reduce your life expectancy.... So I have to side with the sound restrictions here. Your freedom to be obnoxiously loud ends when it objectively negatively impacts public health.
Dont wind the fucker out
