It’s illegal to have a vehicle’s audio device too loud. As it is illegal to wear a full headset. Most idiots don’t realize hearing is also an important aspect of driving. Enforcing that law, is a problem & largely impractical.

Oh yah, first you here this rhythmic doom da da boom, and it gets louder and louder, then the Boom Buggy goes by with it’s near deaf driver.

Now he gets to goto jail. good plan, Tyr.

At 17 I thought I was hot with the help of Radio Shack. Now 35 year olds with $5000 show me what an amateur I was.

Tyr should do that with people yakking away on the cell while driving also.

Tyr just doing what everyone WANTS to do!

LOL… I initially thought the guy had a flat tire till that last cell.

@DJGuardian - me too!

So, it’d be a bad idea to throw on a horned helm and walk up to the next eejit who does this? Sorry, I’m with Tyr on this one, guys

I once lived in a community that passed a law saying that the police could impound a vehicle if its stereo was over a certain decibel level. A great law, but I wish they had extended it to include motorcycles with explosively loud exhausts. To me the Harley riders who love to ride down the street and rev their motors to ear-splitting levels are far worse than the blaring stereo listeners. They should be Tyr’s next target.

South Park had a fantastic episode about the a**hole hog jockeys: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s13e12-the-f-word

When I got my first Harley I had the pipes tuned way down. I had the bike for a bit over a month when a SUV driver hit it and drug it (and me) for some distance. The cop told me that the driver said she didn’t see the bike. Now i have loud pipes as a matter of survival.

I once stopped a kid and asked him why he had his stereo up so loud and thumping like that.

He said, “WHAT? SPEAK UP, I CAN’T HEAR YOU!””

I hate those mobile boomboxes, especially when I have a headache. The pounding in my head starts to beat in time with the booming from the car. My husband wishes he had a device that would bounce the noise back at the rude car and blow out the speakers.

Spending 5000.00 for a loud stereo now is practice for spending 5000.00 for hearing aids later.

OMG. I’d LOVE to be able to do that!
