Revving your motorbike too loud, or roaring your automobile engine too much? A Toronto police blitz is afoot beginning in Yorkville attempting to chop down on unnecessary street noise.
The Awareness and social control for unnecessary Noise campaign, which was launched on Monday night, will target drivers honking horns, having too loud mufflers, revving motorcycles, blasting their car radio, as well as those stunt driving and squealing their tires.
Tickets can vary from $110 to $155 counting on the offence.
Mayor John Tory aforesaid that no matter the explanation, the noise is inexcusable.
“My wife has explained this many timesd again|over and over} to me as being simply an outcropping of the inadequacies that certain people feel — mostly men who drive these cars around. i will go no further than that. but i will say that whatever you think the motive is, there can be no real explanation,” he said.
Starting on October. 1, a new noise bye law will come into effect, giving licensing officers more power to deal with noisy drivers. Noise in and around construction sites will not be a part of the new bylaw to take effect in October.
