Should loud cars be banned? - eviltoast

(does not reflect my opinion, just thought it looked funny)

Less hostile when in context.

    That doesn’t really make a lot of sense either though. Most cars have built in sound proofing and while you can hear other cars, it’s rarely a useful sense when driving. If not being able to hear is a significant hazard then why are deaf people allowed to drive?

        There is for sure, but I would argue that a quieter sports car with too much power for an inexperienced driver to handle is more of a hazard than a loud old beater car. I guess I’m just trying to add that there are other things that people drive that are more dangerous than a loud vehicle that we should probably focus on first, as much as loud vehicles can be a nuisance.

          Focus on first?

          Why do you need this to be a competition? That’s pretty toxic approach to problems.

            A loud motorcycle is annoying, but way less dangerous than a quiet truck that the driver can’t see over, at least to other drivers and pedestrians. That’s all I was trying to add. No competition or toxicity, so I don’t know why you are getting that vibe. I even gave you that 1 up vote you have on that last comment there.
