Not sure why people think its OK to do it just because they are young. I was raised to have consideration for other people and to not think I am the main character who matters more than everyone else. Even when I was 18 I managed to have the level of self awareness to realise that my enjoyment of something shouldn't take priority over someone elses.

Having an overly loud car or bike and intentionally making it noisy is just a massive dick move no matter your age.

Its amazing how many people were never taught this or came to the realisation on their own.

It's way less common these days than when I was 17 (nearly 40). We all had tricked out Vauxhall Novas and Peugeot 205s

Come 2032 kids won't be able to afford cars or electricity to make noise so just hang in there

The 3 50 year old guys that have 1000 litre V8 Mustangs that work next door to my house laugh at your ageism. Those guys vibrate my roof.

Sweden is packed full of American monster cars. Especially in summer. It's crazy.

Yes but they won't be continually driving along the same stretch of road in a housing estate.

Pretty much all they do is drive in circles around the town centre....

Southend seafront last weekend was insanity. Full of bikers making an absolute racket and blocking the roads being a nuisance. The police should come down much harder on this kind of mob mentality with overly loud motorbikes being revved out and pulling wheelies and burnouts on the public road.

God we’re all getting old aren’t we.

2 of the sons live a few doors up have minis with big exhausts.

No revving, no racing around just ticking over with a crap sound for hours on end.
I'm glad they can afford the fuel.

I'm not old.. honest

GOV.UK: New trial to banish loud engines and exhausts on Britain's noisiest streets.

New trial to banish loud engines and exhausts on Britain’s noisiest streets

Innovative noise cameras will provide evidence for police to take action against rowdy motorists, helping communities to enjoy peaceful public and residential spaces.

Wowsers loads of angry old men here. Live and let live. My car is reasonably loud and it’s only done for me and no one else. I couldn’t care less what you think about it, who’s impressed and who isn’t. Pops and bangs are annoying but so are many other things in life. I just ignore and get on with it. Wasting my nerves on someone I’ll probably never meet or interact with is silly.

Noisy cars/bikes should be illegal imo.

I've never understood why those low powered scooters are so bloody noisy for some reason. The manufacturer's of them definitely should be held to account on excessive noise pollution lol
