A new scheme is to be rolled out across England as the Government looks to 'banish boy racers'. The Department for Transport has revealed £300,000 is set to be invested in 'noise cameras' to tackle rowdy motorists who rev their engines or have loud exhausts.
A search has now been launched to find four of the noisiest areas where the cameras can be tried out. The technology is only in its early design phase so MPs are being asked to nominate areas where the cameras could be of benefit.
The technology can automatically detect when vehicles are breaking the legal noise requirements, meaning it can provide evidence to the police and local authorities. This will help officers have the information they need to issue fines to nuisance drivers.
