Walther Wuttke: "Needle pricks against bad manners".
It's not every day that a German journalist gets mail from a Swiss national councilor. Gabriele Suter (SP) wanted to know why speed cameras are not a remedy against car posers. So: Given the good networking of the scene, word should get around quickly about the locations of the speed cameras, and this will make them ineffective. The speed cameras are bypassed, a [...]
In view of the scene's good networking, word of the speed cameras' locations is likely to get around quickly, making them ineffective. The speed cameras are bypassed, a suitable app is quickly created, and the problem shifts.
A fine for every decibel too much
In the long run, only annoying pinpricks and drastic measures will help against this bad form of automotive exhibitionism. In addition to constant controls by the police, for example, a certain amount can be assessed as a fine for every decibel too much.
Extend seizure significantly
The time of confiscation of the illegal companions can be significantly extended. And besides, the cars will be returned to their owners only after an authorized workshop has eliminated the defects and marked the replaced parts.
The replaced parts are also noted in the documents. This makes it possible to quickly determine what has been replaced again in the event of another inspection. The downtimes are of course calculated.
The most sensitive area is the budget
This hits car posers in their most sensitive spot - their personal budget. The more expensive the passion becomes, the more these contemporaries will consider whether another hobby would make more sense.
Then people in particularly affected places such as Romanshorn or Arbon can enjoy the peace and quiet undisturbed and do not have to flee from the noise into a new apartment.
