Regulate and ban excessively loud cars and motorbikes to protect public health.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Motorcycles in the UK must not exceed 80 dB if manufactured after 1985, and up to 92 dB if made before 1970. Cars don’t have a fixed decibel limit in the regulations, but it’s illegal to modify their exhaust systems to increase noise beyond the original type approval, and police can act if the silencer is defective or the vehicle is excessively loud. If you want changes to this, you could start a petition about that.
