answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2024 answer text <p>MOT testers are required to check if exhausts comply with the Construction and Use regulations that prohibit alterations which create excessive noise. Testers are generally capable of identifying these instances without a decibel meter, and those that are not can be identified by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency. The MOT is an important safeguard, but excessive motor vehicle noise is also a result of nuisance driver behaviour that is regulated by local authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 22/01/2024 15:01:19 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
