Every single car you and I have ever owned, are presumably street legal, yet they can reach speeds that are illegal almost everywhere.
Similarly, every knife I have ever owned has the necessary sharpness to cut meat… yet I am not supposed to cut human meat. I am pretty certain the car would not reach undesirable noise levels if he were not speeding or revving the engine, etc. So it is more on him for HOW he is using the car and not how the car was built
So his reasoning sounds legit, but it really is not.
Ok dumbass how do you adjust your exhaust? You can adjust your speed and sound of your stereo but you can’t adjust a stock exhaust. Nice false equivalence
He could just drive normally and his car would never reach the noise level for the ticket. Dude is intentionally driving to make noise. Similar to how bikes can Rev hard to be loud or just drive normally and be less loud.
He states in the article he was slowing down when hitting the area the sound camera was in.
Either way either make the cars illegal or deal. You can’t arbitrarily decide a car is illegal at a given moment in time. I get that people are annoyed with the sounds, but that’s one of the deals of living in a city. You know how many sirens go by in those area?
Easy, you just drive slower and gently accelerate the car and then it will be far quieter.
In a perfect world we could all be as loud as we wanted all the time and it wouldn’t hurt anyone, but people racing up and down residential streets wakes people up and there is data that shows traffic noises reduce your life expectancy… So I have to side with the sound restrictions here. Your freedom to be obnoxiously loud ends when it objectively negatively impacts public health.
