To be sick to death of noisy cars?

Yes, always the ones with small willies and a chip on their shoulder. Usually also doing illegal steroids too which makes them aggressive and emotionally unstable. The joys!

It is such selfish and horrible behaviour. But I always feel that anyone who feels the need to do this must in fact feel like they are in fact a very small person.

I always taught my sons that if they see a man driving aggressively and dangerously it means they have a small willy and I would add modified cars to that!

”The elderly” have trouble with traffic noise more than others do they?

She’d make more fining middle/outer lane hoggers. Fucking hundreds of them on a 250 mile drive I did last night.

I’ve a 20 year old unmodified rally car. Exceptionally rare and still as fun as the day I bought her (new). An engineering masterpiece.

She sounds utterly gorgeous and is loud but no pops or bangs. Completely legal and serviced regularly by a specialist. Any replacement parts have been as close to original spec as possible - no upgrades. Can’t buy anything like her these days - closest you’d get sound-wise would be a Lamborghini……..

I do pop out at midnight occasionally to show the local fiesta-tweakers how it should be done. Their faces when they realise I’m a middle-aged woman is a picture. 😂

(In 20 years or so we’ll all be driving go-karts so I’m making the most of it while I can.)

I don t even like those cars that go ding bloody ding when they reverse

I don't like the noisy (modified) cars, but I also don't like those really quiet electric cars, especially as a pedestrian, they can be hard to hear.

But there is a special place in hell for people with those ultra bright headlights.

I think that the drivers of these noisy cars or motorbikes don’t realise that I (and I suspect many others) are not impressed. I just think “there goes another immature virgin with no partner, who can’t afford a proper car”.

Noisy cars to me indicate a car is there to children, i dont think these silent electric cars are safe people may say they have a camera or sensors but unless children have the sensors too I am happy cars have some noise

I suggest that the sale of 'noisy' exhausts and various other bits of modification kit should be prohibited

Ironically an aftermarket, very noisy but still legal exhaust is often much cheaper than buying an OEM exhaust from the manufacturer. £100 will get you a functional but very noisy aftermarket exhaust for most motorbikes, but manufacturers often want in excess of £800 for an original one of it's damaged.

Personally I think Reeves should target antisocial idiots like this in the budget. They clearly have more money than sense to keep spending on modifications just to annoy everyone on their street. Our local reprobates also have a Reform flag, so they're really selling it to us all...

Are you talking about modified exhausts or supercars like Porsche, nissan, Ferrari, Lamborghini etc which have no modifications but do still have extremely loud exhausts?
Because in my experience the ones that can afford a supercar are a different type of person to the ones with souped up cheaper cars that drive around in the night, although they both enjoy the sound of the engines.

I think some police avoid doing any actual work , I’ve seen police turning blind eye to stuff they shouldn’t
maybe they are afraid

Yanbu

They trigger my anxiety and make driving stressful

I agree and those really noisy motorbikes too. Most cars & motorbikes aren’t noisy but some exhaust mufflers are removed etc. it needs to be banned and there should be fines for exceeding decibels / we need noise cameras . Causes so much stress

I think that it's an inverse correlation.

Should be illegal to modify your car to be louder than whatever regulations existed when it was manufactured. In fact I think that quite a lot of modifications already are. Noise tests should be part of the MoT.

Isn't there another way you could grapple with your mortality that doesn't wake the whole town up at 2am and make my dog shake and cower in fear? Or is that part of the enjoyment?

I get the car enjoyment, I used to work somewhere where people would go out to the Nurburgring on jollies. But you expect to encounter car noise there. Not down a residential road in the wee hours at 8000 decibels.

Don’t all jump on me but I quite like it, whenever I hear a pop and bang I turn my head to look what car it is, but then I’m into cars. The sound to me reminds me that I’m alive. I’ll be sad once all the petrol cars have gone and all we will be left with are electric.

It’s the biggest source of anger and upset in our town . I think any noise modifications should be banned
