Car Noise Cameras

.as it were....

A noise-detecting traffic camera is to be trialled as part of a crackdown on "boy racers", the government has said.

The camera is fitted with microphones to record vehicle noise and provide digital evidence to police.

It will be used in Keighley for two weeks before moving to Bristol, Great Yarmouth and Birmingham.

The Department for Transport says it is part of a £300,000 scheme to reduce the social impact of road noise, which it says costs the country £10bn a year.

The government said road noise pollution contributed to health problems, such as heart attacks, strokes and dementia and lost productivity from sleep disturbance.

The camera will first be used on an undisclosed road in Keighley.

The locations were chosen after MPs were asked to nominate noisy roads in their constituencies.
That's quite interesting, I wonder what level it's set at, and if it can detect shitty Audi S3s and Fabia vRSs with straight exhausts and popcorn limiters?

Bane of my fucking life around here.....

Same round ours. I'd welcome a camera like that.

Give it 2 weeks for them to learn the locations then you will get a series of even louder downshifts and pops before the camera followed by full bore acceleration and more pops just after it - see Sloane Street.
How about not having a sig at all?

Ah yes, some more static detector type devices. That'll solve crime!
