| Police Tackling Noisy Vehicles
read this on a motorcycle forum.
RCMP Press release: Police Tackling Noisy Vehicles
The onset of summer is not always good news for some Lower Mainland residents, who dread the increase in noisy motorcycles and other vehicles on their neighborhood roads.
The North Vancouver RCMP and Port Mann freeway patrol are inviting motorcycle riders and other vehicle owners to attend the parking lot of the Main street off ramp at the Ironworkers Memorial bridge, on June 5th and 6th from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for free decibel testing of their exhaust systems. This type of testing has never been offered by the police before and will be a unique opportunity for riders and drivers to become more aware of their noise levels. Trained Police officers will determine if the noise levels from the exhaust pipes are illegally loud.
On these days only, drivers will be offered an amnesty (no charges) by the police in North Vancouver. If their vehicle is found to be above the legal decibel limit, the Police will explain how to make the necessary improvements. Only street legal and street safe motorcycles and vehicles will be tested.
- If a motorcycle, car or truck is making more noise than a factory model, it is too loud.
- If after-market pipes have been installed they likely do not have baffles and are not legal.
- Most after market products are not approved mufflers.
Extensive enforcement for noisy vehicles will take place during June to October. Drivers charged under Section 7A.01 of the Motor Vehicle Act - Regulations will pay a fine of $109 and receive three points. If the noise is too excessive, vehicles could be towed and license plates seized, requiring the owner to have the vehicle inspected and then re-licensed.
“I have pulled over many motorcycles over the years and have heard all kinds of explanations,” says Constable Peter Kennedy with the North Vancouver RCMP. “None of them were valid, especially when someone says that the noise is for safety reasons and could save their life. Noisy motorcycles do not save lives, they simply irritate other people enjoying a peaceful day. The general public does not enjoy the noise and have made many requests with the local police agencies and the Mayor’s office for serious enforcement.” Motor Vehicle Act Regulations
“A motor vehicle shall be equipped with an exhaust system which ensures that the exhaust gases from the engine are cooled and expelled without excessive noise.”
“The opinion of an inspector as to whether the engine and exhaust noise is greater than that made by other vehicles in good condition of comparable size, horsepower, pistondisplacement or compression ratio shall determine whether exhaust gases are expelled with excessive noise.”

Wow they are giving points for fucking noise violations!!! Thats brutal... Hmm that last statement...
condition of comparable size, horsepower, pistondisplacement or compression ratio shall determine whether exhaust gases are expelled with excessive noise.
Does that mean he has to compare my 400hp 1.9L Honda sound to other 400hp 1.9L Honda's to determine if my car is to loud???
I don't mind the whole noise violation ticket but points for it is a little gay IMO. Points should be for Driving Infractions only... I mean shit if they are giving points for that whats to stop them giving points for having a tail light out... or do they?
Berz out.

As long as the exhaust is completely stock how could they ding you? Then again, I've never heard someone complain
"Fuck, that Ferrari is annoying".
Usually some fart can civic or some straight pipe Harley that annoys people.

I'm also concerned by the comment that points would be issued for something which is not a driving-related infraction.

i thought points were only issued for moving violations.... or contravention of your license's restrictions...

I think at the legal decibel testing, police are not going to ticket you or anything, but they are definitely going to take note of your license plate. You never know, especially if they are going through such extremes (such as deducting points) to catch people.. Why miss this golden opportunity?
I don't understand this point deduction.. since this isn't a dangerous driving act.. wow wtf!

You bitches here always complain about "It doesn't sound too loud to me, how am I supposed to know if it's too loud?" - well, here's your chance to find out, for free, no ticket, no VI, tested with proper equipment. The cops are doing something nice for you when they could just camp out in the same spot and hand out noise tickets all day, and you're going to be fucking whiner pussies about it?
Fuck off. You should be taking the bus. Phibbs Exchange is right around the corner from where this is taking place.

If your car IS too loud and is disruptive to people's lives it should be addressed. Your power output is irrelevant to this discussion. Quote:

I got a noise violation ticket (same section number as above), does this mean I'm going to get points now too or is the point thing something that will be implemented later on?
