Big Tabs
looking backwards, going forwards
Worst of all, a racing track was built next to us, without any possible discussion or case study.
A political decision.
Bikers (and silly, pointless fast Italian and German cars) make an incredible and unbearable noise all day long. Isn’t there a law against that?
Actually there is! The same law that says you can’t mow your lawn on Sundays or at night.
But nobody seems to care. Local authorities don’t do anything to enforce the law – politics again.
I hate noisy selfish and childish bikers that awake me on Sunday mornings and prevent me from napping.
I really enjoyed the lockdown last year. It felt like we lived in the country again!
There is a law that tracks/circuits cannot have loud pipes over a certain dB, and the times that use of the tracks is regulated in the U.K. I believe.
I think it is an E.H.O. (environmental health officer) role to monitor the noise if alerted to it.
Our friends in Scotland live less than a mile from Knockhill race track, and you can hear the noise bouncing off the hills when there is British Superbikes or Touring cars racing, but it is regulated and there is a specific time window that it is allowed.
We have always fancied going to the Monte Carlo - Monaco F1 race, that must be fabulously loud, bouncing off those walls.
We did go to the British F1 many years ago (Silverstone) back in the Michael Schumacher days, and that was fantastically loud.
