What to Do When a Car with Built-in Exhaust Sound Encounters Traffic Police?
2 Answers
Sports cars with loud exhaust sounds usually won't be stopped by traffic police. Whether traffic police pull over a car has little to do with the sound; the key factor is whether the car is modified. Press once for silent mode, press again for modified sound. Usually keeping a low profile and not making the exhaust too flashy can reduce the chances of being caught.
I've been driving this car for several years and always worry about the loud exhaust noise bothering others at night. Once when I was coming home late, a police officer signaled me to pull over. I immediately pulled to the side, rolled down the window, and handed over my documents without saying anything. The officer asked why the car was so loud, and I explained that it was the factory exhaust sound, not a modified one. He checked my license and the car's condition, nodded, and let me go. Remember to be respectful and not argue—just pull over and cooperate. When driving normally, avoid revving the engine during rush hour or in residential areas. Safety first also means fewer troubles—don’t let momentary thrills override public order. Before modifying, check the laws carefully—many places have decibel limits for exhaust noise. If caught with non-compliant exhaust, you could face fines or even points on your license.
