Is it illegal for sports cars to make loud noises on the street?
2 Answers
If the sports car is stock, making loud noises on the street will not be stopped by traffic police. However, if it has been illegally modified, then it is illegal and will be stopped by traffic police. Below are some precautions regarding vehicle operation: Pre-departure inspection: Before setting off each day, conduct a comprehensive check of the vehicle, including checking for oil or water leaks, measuring tire pressure to ensure it is appropriate, inspecting the engine oil condition to see if the color is normal and the oil level is correct. Safe driving: Use seat belts correctly. In the event of a severe collision, seat belts provide protection no less effective than airbags. Avoid fatigued driving; take a break every 2 hours. Obey traffic rules: Especially on highways, do not speed. Speeding not only risks penalties from traffic police but, more importantly, is unsafe.
I'm a car enthusiast myself and often get excited seeing sports cars roar down the street, but from a legal perspective, loud exhaust noises are illegal. Most cities have noise pollution regulations, such as limiting noise levels to below 70 decibels in urban areas. Excessive noise can result in fines ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan, or even vehicle impoundment. Once, a friend modified his car with an extremely loud exhaust and was pulled over by the police for a warning, which not only delayed his trip but also cost him money. In more serious cases, it can disturb neighbors, and if someone calls the police, you'll be held responsible. The sound of a sports car is indeed thrilling, but it's better to enjoy it on the track—safe and legal. Roaring on the streets is unsafe, as it can distract drivers and lead to accidents, while also causing stress to those around you. Sports cars are meant to be enjoyed, not used as tools for causing trouble. Following the rules is better for both yourself and the community. I think it's normal for young people to love cars, but it's important to know the right setting. Protecting the public environment is what's truly cool.
