Diesel ban forbidden sound generators and soon no more damper systems? Saarland's Environment and Consumer Protection Minister Reinhold Jost (SPD) is probably planning a four-point plan for "protection against engine noise". The day after tomorrow we will already know more, because the idea is to be presented at the conference of environment ministers. Specifically, cars should have an exhaust system with a flap function as Culprit for unnecessary street noise be acknowledged. If you then refer to Section 30 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO), this would mean that all flap systems would be prohibited. That would be another heavy blow to the tuning industry, countless manufacturers of sports exhaust systems, but also the automotive industry. An appealing engine sound is simply part of the emotion of a car - DONE!
Is a ban the right way?
At least when it comes to no boring Toyota Prius or a Tesla. However, it cannot be denied that the basic idea of the Saarland state government is not completely meaningless. If you live in a big city and there are also close to popular shopping malls, etc., you will certainly be fed up with high-revving V10s, bubbling V8s or from into the morning hours Misfires embossed four-cylinder can be heard through the double glazing of the window panes. This is exactly what should be prevented from now on. And somehow we can even understand that.
It would meet every sports car enthusiast
On the racetrack, outside of built-up areas and, of course, at tuning meetings, the noises from the flap systems are simply part of it - if you are out on a Saturday afternoon in the children's carriage in the city or if you go for a walk with your dog, you can definitely enjoy this background noise in a loop. But a complete ban right away? Because of a few "PS posers" who have to drive past the same ice cream parlor 15 times in the afternoon? We hope not please! There should rather harsher penalties, more controls or possibly electronic solutions using GPS monitoring the flap function ago.
Of course that had not been the case.
