Police ticketing for loud exhausts

Solus

I got one in ohio for my exhaust on my 05 civic being too loud. The actual ticket was operating an unsafe motor vehicle, because apparently it was so loud i wouldn't be able to hear sirens etc

The logic here is absolute crap. So what if you can't hear sirens? Newsflash -- people who are deaf are allowed to drive. My brother happens to be totally deaf in both ears, and he has a driver's license, his own car, etc. What a total crock. I would love for a cop to give me a ticket based on this logic. I'd tear him a new one in open court.

I have no opinion on loud exhausts, etc, but this quote is classic.

Yeah, not true. As a firefighter who drives fire trucks, it would make no sense. Look at the buick commercial a few years back, how the dude didn't even hear an Ambo that was right behind him. Car manufactors are actually trying to soundproof the interiors of cars!
