This is honestly an entirely valid complaint. There are way too many motorcyclists who replace their mufflers with aftermarket ones that are illegally loud, in some cases loud enough to cause hearing damage to pedestrians.

They just need to keep defect ticket histories.

Third strike for the same defect on the same vehicle, you lose it. Fuck this 'keeping a stock spare and swapping it in' shit.

Why so soft?

The vehicle seems to loud -> perform a check -> if it is too loud, confiscate to have it examined and fine the driver -> if vehicle is found to have been tampered with using illegal parts, don't return it and fine some more

Then bring it back into a legal state and auction it off anonymously

Incorporate noise muffler noise into hoon laws. Instant motorcycle crushing.
