Noisy Motor-Cycles
Sir, —Thanks to the enterprise of “E.C.”, we seem to be getting somewhere. In his reply to “E.C.”, the Minister of Transport says that traffic regulations provide for “all motor-cycles to be fitted with a silencer, which must be effective and in good working order,” which appears explicit enough. Why, then,, are thi regulations so blatantly disregarded in this respect? Anyway, don’t let’s have too much talk about decibels. The average policeman, like the average member of the public. should be well capable of forming an opinion about a noisy motor-cycle without consulting a decibel-table, and asking the reason why. As, for instance, he might have asked a motor cyclist in Ilam road this morning why he was carrying a small child on the handle-bars.—Yours, etc., ILAM. February 16, 1965.
