Anti Social Driving

Hello Resident

We’ve had a few complaints lately about cars sounding more like fighter jets than family hatchbacks. If your exhaust can be heard three streets away… it might be time for a rethink.

Here’s what you need to know:

Noise Limit: Your car must not exceed 74 decibels. If it sounds like it’s auditioning for a Fast & Furious reboot, it’s probably too loud.
Emissions: From 1st July 2025, all exhausts must comply with Euro 7 standards—that means no removing catalytic converters or DPFs.
MOT Failures: Loud, smoky, or tampered exhausts will fail. No exceptions.
Insurance: Modified exhaust? Tell your insurer. If not, your policy could be invalid—and that’s a headache no one wants.

We’re out and about, and if we hear your car before we see it, we might stop for a chat. Enforcement includes fines, points, and in some cases, vehicle seizure.
 

Let’s keep the roads safe, the neighbourhood peaceful, and the exhausts legal.
