Time to get rid

of noisemakers

Dear Editor:

With regard to ‘Bikers and
boozers get the prize.’’ —
lower Lonsdale is not the en-
ly source of this noise pollu-
tion — it’s everywhere,

The following is an article }
wrote several years ago:

The environment of most
British Columbians would be
greatly improved if the pro-
vincial government defined
and enforced the Motor
Vehicle Act Regulation Divi-
sion No. 7A.01 — ‘'Loud
and unnecessary noise from
motor vehicles.**

If a’ person were to walk
down the street at 2 a.m.
pounding on a drum he
would be arrested very
quickly for disturbing the
peace and furthermore, the
state of his sanity might be
questioned, yet, those
yahoos who roar around the
streets in or on vehicles that
have ineffective mufflers do
so with impunity.

There is another type of
villain who is just as annoy-
ing the Horn Blower.

The horn is provided to be
used as a warning signal and
is not intended to be used
for the following purposes:
(a) To notify someone that
you -have arrived to pick

her/him up.

drapery cleaning.

(b) To express good-bye to-

thine host at some ungodly

hour,

(c) To vent spleen towards

another driver for some traf-

fic misdemeanour.

(4) To show impatience.
Horn Blowers would

laugh at someone walking
with a bugle in his hand an
using it for the same pur-
poses, but there is no dif-
ference betwen the mentality
of the two,
