I had a question to officers regarding the noise laws for vehicles. I've noticed a lot of Honda's and generally cars bought by younger, less wealthy individuals pulled over on the side of the road. I've spoken to many friends who have been pulled over by the police, the reason given is that their exhaust is too loud. Now I would have to say that the loudest vehicles on the road today are motorcycles. Often times one will pull up next to me at a light and I can barely stand the noise of the engine even idling. However, I have never in my life seen a motorcycle pulled over.
My question is, is the noise law only for cars or does it apply to motorcycles as well? And if the law is the same for both, why do you think owners of Hondas are hassled for this more than owners of bikes?
BTW- Some might think that since this is my first post I am here to start trouble. This isn't the case. I am an educated man with the utmost respect for the law. This thought just crossed my mind today and I thought I'd ask.
