However, in the last month I have seen police out and about doing speed checks at 4 different locations, and I've not been that far. It had been a while since I'd seen one, so maybe they're having a little go at doing some work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly do feel your pain regarding the exhausts that sound like a farting kazoo and the backfires during even tame revs and gear changes (I used to have a big V8 - so everything else now sounds shit). I'd agree with some enforcement of clown car exhausts that must be over some sort of decibel level as it is just anti social. But does all the farting and banging make people drive faster and/or crash? At least you can now hear the dickheads coming from a distance.

I haven't seen a special constable if thats what you are talking about for years not since the local police stopped having a presence at the TT and MGP and to quell the riots on the promenade that never happened , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
