Motor Vehicles: Noise
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to give powers to the police to tackle illegally modified exhausts for (a) cars and (b) motorcycles.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Any form of anti-social, dangerous or inconsiderate behaviour involving vehicles is a serious issue.
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for the Government, and a key part of the Safer Streets Mission.
On 25 February 2025, the Crime and Policing Bill was introduced to Parliament. The Bill includes proposals to give the police greater powers to clamp down on vehicles involved in anti-social behaviour, with officers no longer required to issue a warning before seizing these vehicles.
This will strengthen the law and send a clear message that antisocial vehicles will not be tolerated.
