NOISY cars will now be towed – but drivers have three shots to quiet their vehicles.

A new ordinance is putting a stop to loud cars that disturb others.

The rule now gives officers the ability to get vehicles towed if it has three noise offenses.

Cars can be towed both if the vehicle has three noise violations or if the driver does, according to WRFA-LP 107.9 FM.

The City Council of Jamestown, New York, enacted an ordinance addressing the issue of “chronic vehicle noise,” a problem often caused by habitual offenders.

According to the agenda, police are now authorized to tow and impound vehicles deemed a public nuisance, with the owner bearing the full cost.

Per the agenda, the “ordinance change would provide immediate relief to the ears of residents.”

Earlier this year, a law was passed in an Alabama town stating that drivers of noisy cars that are pulled over could be fined $50.

For repeat offenders, the bill can get even higher.

A second offense in a year would lead to a $250 dollar fine.

If three violations are done in a year, a $500 fine and/or 10 days in jail can be issued to offenders.

The problem was difficult for lawmakers to find a solution to as enforcing the law proved tricky.

Washington’s New Back-in Angled Parking Rule: What Drivers Need to Know

Council member Jennie Robinson of Huntsville previously commented that after repairs, nothing stops individuals from reinstalling modifications that produce the disruptive noise.

But after working with the city police captain, officials were able to come up with a rule that worked for the department.

The council implemented fines and penalties aimed at encouraging behavioral changes and preventing the reinstallation of said modifications, Robinson explained.

A sergeant with the Huntsville Police Department agreed.

New driving laws in 2025

Drivers across the United States are having to adjust to a slew of new road rules that take effect in 2025. Some of those include:

Officer Chris Jackson highlighted that since the new law is enforceable even when state law is not, officials now have a more effective means of enforcement.

Technology is even advancing in the U.S. to catch loud noise offenders.

In Arlington, Virginia, a pilot program was introduced earlier this year that aimed to install noise monitoring systems for cars with loud exhausts.

Like speed cameras, monitors would instead enforce loud vehicle violations on vehicles driving past.

The revenue from said violation was planned to go toward other transportation initiatives.
