SIGN MY PETITION – Urge the Province of Ontario to ban modified mufflers that create excessive noise

By Issues, Resources, Ward 1

SIGN MY PETITION HERE.

Vehicle noise from street racing and aggressive driving go hand in hand. That, combined with modified emission control systems can create the “perfect storm” for vehicle noise related issues.

Please feel free to share with others. Read More
