Motorcycles: Noise
(asked on 20th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward measures to deal with excessive exhaust noise from motorcycles through the MOT test.
This question was answered on 23rd October 2014
The current motorcycle MOT test already includes an inspection for excessive noise from the exhaust. A machine will be rejected where the noise from a silencer is clearly in excess of that which would be produced by a similar machine fitted with a standard silencer in average condition.
