New noise laws... on the spot testing... Very good thing!

I think alot of people see noise and speed as synonymous. if you hear a big boat, it must be going fast. I informally polled my friends and it seems to me that it was an almost even split 50/50 pass/fail. Alot of people who failed the spot test later passed the drive by test. Perhaps in an "ambient noise level" issue with the spot test? No doubt the MP are compiling stats so as to iprove the test. I have not yet been "officially" tested, but unofficially my boat passed.

Now if they would just allow switchable exhaust.... as long as you passed the noise test both ways!
