(asked on 18th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to tackle cars which do not comply with noise suppression laws.
This question was answered on 24th October 2022
The police and local authorities have existing powers to tackle excessively noisy and illegally modified vehicles.
To support enforcement efforts, the Department has commenced roadside trials of the latest ‘noise camera’ technology to understand if it can be an effective tool for the police and local authorities that will enable more targeted and efficient enforcement. If the trials prove to be successful, noise cameras may be considered for wider rollout.
