I did speak to a lawyer on the above a long time ago, hence details escape my memory. To answer some of yoyr questions yes there is a decible limit allowed and anything over is illeagle. But so is the emmision laws. It does exist but is not implimented cause if the Bus buggers go on strike then its a hassle to the relavant minister and the cops dont want that now do they. But we poor buggers....well even if we r as quiet as a church mouse and the cops say we are loud.....loud it is; unless your are willing to go to courts and chalange them. its not like as though the authorites have equipmet to measure levels of sound... But Yes laws do exist on noice level..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Hola Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi all, i dont know how relevant to this thread is but i got a problem. I feel that the outside noise i hear in my civic is very high. I went in a N16 and a Corrolla 121 the noise there was very low. Even in my petrol Hiace i feel the outside noise is very low from the interior than my civic... Where is wrong? Rubber beadings?

There was an article in the paper some time ago about these underage Int. sch. types that drive without licenses, and one j***a$$ who gets off by claiming to be a lawyer. Now I've never been stopped for noise, but if I am, I think I'll demand a spot check for noise from an instrument, and if they can't provide, threaten to sue them for harrasment, illegal detention and possibly mental distress. "I'm a lawyer" might work. But I'll go with "my sis is a lawyer" which is true Make a show of writing down the buggers badge no. U can't argue with the radar guns for speeding, but u can argue for this. What u gonna say to a cop who tries to stop u for speeding if he doesn't have a radar gun? Same thing ....

0 Pericles Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I distinctly said "underage Int. sch. types that drive without licenses" so if u went to int.sch.s and u didn't drive without licenses while under age, balen thoppi daagana epa! Even if u did, balen thoppi daana epa Why the paper specifically picked on Int. sch. types I have no idea. But I am quoting off a paper. I forget which, but odds are it was a Sunday paper, coz we normally don't get any other kind home Besides, My point was the article was about them, but my critique was about the guy claiming to be a lawyer.
