law on noise and unsocial behavior

Hi guys

 

For the last few day I have been woken up at around 6 am by some 30 year old chav around the courner from our close. He basicly starts up his chaved up saxo and prelude leaves them running for 5 min and then blips the throttal for a futher 10 min before switching off.

 

Anyone know the correct procedures. I dont facy going to have a word as I dont really want to see the tuscan get smashed up the next time I leave it on the drive. However it needs to stop as I may just ram a mellon up the exhaust! Or a few bags of Cat Sh*t!

 

Figures crossed he will blow the head on both cars as thats all he does with them never seen them move apart from doing stupid burnouts up and down the close (which is full of children and parked cars). I am guessing he either has no insurance for the cars or no license.

I don't know the law but I'd be interested, there is a guy with a crosser near us, and without a joke you can hear it (I'm guessing) about a kilometre away, so you can imagine what the stupid thing sounds like coming down our road. I just don't get people with ridiculous exhausts like that, I think its extremely inconsiderate.

Think the law is 11pm - 8am for noise. If its before 8am then you can lodge a complaint with the police. If he is doing it regularly at the same time then they will be able to nab him quite easily.

 

Don't think this is 100% correct to be honest. Most actions about noise are civil actions (i.e. not criminal) brought by the council so I doubt reporting to the Police is relevant.

 

I would suggest ringing the number on the back of your concul tax bill and asking them to put you through to the correct department.

LOL... thats slightly different. A 1 off incident that was 'disturbing the peace'.

 

Its like horses for courses... no point driving a Impreza in formula 1, just like there is no point in driving an F1 car in a rally... My weird point... ring the police if you are woken up a 2am by next door having a rave, but go down the Council route for a long lasting resolution.

 

It's my understanding that certain levels of noise are allowed and if they do take action they (the council) actually measure the noise and use this to seek injunctions etc against the noise maker.

If he is racing his car up and down the street with children playing report him to the police. I had a numpty racing down the residential road where I live and I and another person rang the police and reported him. Havent had a problem since.

 

Not that I would condone it but superglue his car door locks to stop him revving them :)
