There are some loud motorbikes out there, my dad's included!

Also my car is soooo loud

Bad idea if this comes to the uk

 

[solarice]

at least it'll know when someone vists it with a baseball bat :laugh:

 

[Arnold]

Stupid idea.

 

[nexussteve]

I'd get a 10 second video of me blaring an air horn in it's face!

Man, I would totally abuse this camera!

 

[curtis]

10 second clip..you only have to stand there for 4 days and 4 hours of constant blowing and it will be full

 

[Makrakin08]

lol haha this is the stupidest camera ever should just get a convoy of loud cars and sit in front of it redlining yer engines for 10 secs

 

[Pete]

Buy a cheap walkman and some passive speakers, sit it next to the noise camera and fill it up with tunez [sic].

It's a stupid idea, my motorbike meets the EU 73dB limit quite easily at the specified rpm and distance but when you open it up it screams like a right banshee, hum-hum-huuuuuum- vroooooom- vroooooooom (73dB) - vrooooooooooooooom - RAAAAAAAAAH - RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Pardon? :laugh:

Whatever next...shakes head in disbelief :glare:

Count me in...

 

[tse_adam]

the concept is pants isnt it! people with powerful/loud cars will get a ticket no matter what - plain stupid!

 

[ronin_kid]

doesnt really fuss me tbh

i guess they'll be set up in towns and/or residential areas where at 30mph everyone should be within noise limits anways - all its gonna do its stop people razzing it about trying to be 'cool', which is all good imo

could also work out to be a double whammy for mr. silly-arse too, as with 10 seconds of video footage, and knowing the frame rate, they could probably calculate vehicle speed and do them if their over that limit too...

 

[whipit]

probably calculate vehicle speed and do them if their over that limit too...

Well not with out lines on the road, the lines are there as a semi pernament calibration. Flash camera.....no lines no fine!


Second you about the residential area, how hard is it to drive around in the right gear at gone midnight. Not pointing the finger at anyone since i do floor it sometimes but not late at night.

 

[Robb]

Will this apply to buses then? cos thats all i seem to hear on the roads.

good point - didnt think of that :blush:

so would this be a cash fine or could you recieve points on your licence as well.?.
