The New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee recently approved a bill that allows for fines for loud cars.
We’ve seen the bill, and it references snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes, and an overall category called “nuisance motor vehicles.” The bill was approved unanimously by everyone in attendance, according to the New Jersey Monitor.
“Vehicles ride through the neighborhoods at three or four in the morning, and the music is so loud that it literally makes your windows shake,” said Assemblyman Bill Spearman, the prime sponsor of the bill and chair of the committee mentioned above.
Spearman said the problem was brought to his attention by the mayors of Camden, Pennsauken, and Delran. He then found a similar bill passed in Philadelphia to rid roads of so-called “boom cars.”
