With the vibration from the speakers I'd not be surprised if the tyres aren't in constant contact with the ground it's amazing they don't slide off the road going round corners or waiting at traffic lights!

I'm surprised it doesn't vibrate their eyeballs in their sockets so they can only see a hazy blur. Or perhaps it does.

Old farts alert !

I have nothing against the young people playing their phonographs and wireless sets, I just wish that they would not inflict their awful hipperty hopperty wrapping music on everybody at such volume. It puts me right off my Werthers Originals.

i always assume the volume and bass to be inversely proportional to the intelligence of the driver. i.e. the louder the and bassier, the more retarded they are. hasn't failed so far

Driving without due care and attention it should be classed as. Also the decibels must exceed the legal limit therefore they should be pulled over and charged on both accounts. As usual the police and authorities do very little about, forcing people who've had enough of this moronic crap noise to take the law into their own hands.

Given that its a public broadcast would they be required to be covered by the above.

There isn't one, unless it's a workplace.

Some years ago I was asked if I would judge a "who has the loudest car music system" contest as I have the kit to measure exceedingly loud sounds. My reply was along the lines of"please arrange the following words into a well known phrase or saying - off feck." I think he is still struggling with the answer.
