VPD begins crackdown on loud vehicles in the city
 

FYI...

I wonder how factory exhaust from sports/super cars will be dealt with.
For example, if a factory exhaust system for a Jaguar F-Type (and we know its a loud car) is acceptable by Transport Canada, then would it be given a pass? :concentrate:

meh. same thing every year...

So true.

Just the other day I spotted an Aventador and Aventador SV downtown and you could hear both from a few blocks away. Funny if they get pulled over and VPD tries to ticket them for having loud stock exhausts.

Exactly. I brought it up because my friend did get pulled over in an F-Type for a loud exhaust but the car was factory.

I'd rather the police target idiots drivers in Richmond instead of doing this.

Can they start with those guys that rip their cruiser bikes around play grounds and residential neighborhoods? fucking christ, those guys hate hearing stuff. Must be soothing to hear that rather than their wives.

The local government can issue their own regulation however they want.

For example, the BC Ministry of Transportation says 50km/h statutory speed limit, however, if municipal government wants to regulate it to 40km/h, they can.

If Transport Canada (federal government) approves 105 decibels, the municipal or provincial government can still make their own regulations.

For example, "No vehicle shall emit more than 91 decibels in residence area after 10pm" or they can tell you "Vehicles with less than 5 inch ground clearance shall not enter this road"

This goes for Chinese license. I saw this news article here on RS a while ago, ICBC(provincial government) says people are allowed to drive with Chinese license, however RCMP(federal government) says you can't.

yeah I know...politics.

"Unnecessary noise from a vehicle’s engine, tires, brakes or exhaust..."

Wat.

Tires too loud u get a ticket? :fulloffuck:

Well yeah, you know they make noise when you're doing a burnout.

Even weirder is that when cruiser bikes are loud, no one really bats an eye, but when it's a sportbike, people are frothing at the mouth for the rider's head.

Sadly I think what would happen is you'd get a ticket, then have to fight it on your own dime and prove that it came that way.

Wherever I see someone complaining about a bike being loud its a Harley

Do you even Byrne

Why don't they start enforcing the "keep right except to pass" rule on the highway instead of this. I think more of us have more issues with that rather than too loud exhausts.

This! Seriously, who the fuck moves downtown, in the heart of it all, then complains about noise? Fackin' beat it!!

Most of the exotic cars running around with bone stock exhaust systems are louder than most Honda N1 exhausts anyway :shrug:

ya get it together VPD, youre not doing enough about the problems in richmond

Cruiser bike = hell's angel

Sport bike = sum yung punk

Some people too scurred to deal with them.

VPD should be cracking down traffic violations that are actually dangerous.
Such as street racing, DUI, texting, etc.

Who cares about loud exhaust, lowered cars, or even "speeding" on Marine Drive.

Fixed it for you.

So is this measured at idle or at redline lol

I'm fucked. Because Ferodo. Truthfully though, I hate really loud cars unless it makes sense they are loud. Loud 550 hp v10? Awesome. Loud 9000 rpm redline? Cool. Loud FR-S/civic/3 series/Jetta? Just don't.

loud cars better be fast cars..

I agree. Those vehicles I mentioned are exempt from my complaining if they are ACTUALLY fast.
