INQUINAMENTO ACUSTICO (DA RUMORE)

NOISE POLLUTION This increases if audible warning devices (horns) are used excessively. To avoid nuisance noise while driving, and thus to reduce the noise emitted by vehicles: ensure that the silencer (exhaust system) is in good working order and of an approved type do not brake abruptly unless strictly necessary check and, if necessary, replace the brakes if they emit noise during braking - brake maintenance also increases safety do not accelerate unnecessarily and repeatedly while the vehicle is stationary avoid staying in a low gear for too long unless necessary use the horn only for road safety reasons (transporting the injured or sick, immediate danger) do not slam the car doors It is not true that the horn should be replaced by hazard warning lights (neither by day nor by night). The noise produced by motor vehicles increases as the silencer deteriorates, and it is not true that noise is caused solely by the engine. In corners taken at high speed, tyre scrubbing increases the noise level of the vehicle. Empty trailers that bounce excessively can be a source of noise.
