NOISE FROM MODIFIED CAR EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Early day motion 520, tabled 16 December 2009 by Julia Goldsworthy (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 38 members.

That this House notes with concern the level of noise that is emitted from modified car exhaust systems; further notes the impact that this anti-social behaviour has on people's daily lives; calls on the Government to consider tightening regulations 54 and 97 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 to ensure that exhaust systems remain in good working order and do not make excessive noise; asks that the Government considers banning from sale exhaust attachments that create a noise nuisance; and further calls on the Government to include a noise exhaust monitor as part of the MOT test.
