Excessive Vehicle Noise

We the undersigned petition the council to Put a stop to excessive, anti-social, illegal vehicle noise and associated road safety issues in and around Torbay, which are severely affecting the quality of living and amenity for residents and visitors alike.

There is a steady and concerning increase in the number of cars and motorbikes being driven around the bay which emit excessive, anti-social, and likely illegal levels of noise pollution, mainly as a result of being fitted with modified exhaust systems. Coupled with this is a general disregard for road safety and social etiquette in the manner in which these vehicles are driven. This is scaling to almost epidemic proportions with the problem not confined to any one area, time of day, week or season.
In addition, the laws which do already exists regarding noise levels from vehicles are not being effectively enforced (as the problem is demonstrably getting worse, not better)

This petition therefore urges the relevant authorities to: a) effectively enforce all current statute laws, and b) lobby parliament for changes in the law necessary to deal with the problem more effectively.

This ePetition ran from 12/08/2011 to 23/09/2011 and has now finished.
