§ Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware of the increase in unnecessary noises made at night by motorists starting-up and racing their engines and moving off in low gear, and the great inconvenience caused to invalids and others in the early hours of the morning through these noises; and what steps he has taken to cause a cessation of these practices?
§ Mr. BurginIt is an offence to use a motor vehicle on a road in such manner as to cause any excessive noise which could have been avoided by the exercise of reasonable care on the part of the driver. I hope the hon. Member's question will serve to draw the attention of motorists to this important provision of the law.
