Less hostile when in context.
Taken from a YouTube channel called Not Just Bikes.

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Most cities already have noise ordinances. But as usual owning a car gives you situational immunity to the law.
They are not enforced, because the people driving them are the ones who are supposed to enforce the laws.
This was the line of thought I had as well, it should be so easy to stop this problem as it stands
You can't just bust out a sound meter and take a reading. There are so many factors that it makes it unenforceable, because at the end of the day the burden of proof would still be placed on the enforcement arm that it was that vehicle. How do you control for ambient noise? Distance? Temperature? It is just unenforceable to make a dB level a mark.
If your car goes pop pop pop, though, I think you need to have your car taken away, and maybe your freedom, because you're just an asshole.
You can say this about the whole topic of car centricity. It is easy to solve. It's just not wanted.
They are not enforced.
