webfact Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Music to the ears as noisy street racing Thai youths see their exhausts crushed Picture: Thairath CHANTHABURI: -- Police in Chanthaburi invited young street racers to watch their noisy exhausts being crushed by a steamroller at a police station yesterday. One of the offending exhausts even had a sign saying it cost 20,000 baht before it was reduced to flattened scrap metal. The haul of 118 exhausts were confiscated from street racers using Sukhumvit Road and beach roads in the jurisdiction of the Na-yai-am police, reports Thairath. Yesterday they invited the racers and top brass from police HQ in the province to witness the destruction. The latter were pictured smiling profusely. A crackdown on souped-up noisy racing of bikes and cars in the area netted 147,100 in fines from June to December, said local station chief Prasert Mahem. The force said the racers had annoyed both locals and tourists in the area with their noise and they wanted the youths to witness the destruction of their expensive accessories as a valuable lesson. In the big PR exercise parents were also reminded to look after their children to stop them going out at night and racing.

dcsw53 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Can the Chanthaburi boys in blue be given time off to come to Jomtien and teach their ineffective colleagues here how to stop a bike ? I would gladly pay their travel costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loong Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Please crush all the noisy advertising pick-ups' sound systems. They are much more annoying than loud exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's how stupid they are in Australia,when the alternative would be auction the vehicles and the money goes to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George FmplesdaCosteedback Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 While they are at it, how about the cars and pick-ups that have modified exhausts, which are just, if not more noisy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get it? How can it cost 20,000 Baht to remove the interior of an ordinary muffler, have I missed something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
