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. 

 

Please take a moment to sign the petition to urge the Province of Ontario to ban modified mufflers that create excessive noise

I recently put forward a motion at both the City of Mississauga and Peel Regional Council to ask the Province to enact further amendments to the Highway Traffic Act to directly target loud and modified exhaust systems.

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.
