    100% agree. Soundproofing in modern cars is incredible now. I drive a 12.L basic shitbox and I can’t hear these fucking babies until they’re right beside me. Borrowed a Cayenne the other week and they’re basically inaudible

    Loud pipes annoy pedestrians and cyclists. Drivers don’t notice

    Fuckin infants

        The vast, vast majority of drivers where I am are fully aware of motorcycles and other road users

        Don’t assume every driver is the same the world over

          What makes you think your region is somehow better at that than the other regions? The reality is that you’ll find careless people everywhere. And there is a difference between “very loud chopper shaking windows” which is a dick move, and “motocycle with a regular engine that you can hear”. Electric motorcycles are 100% silent, you only hear the tires. It’s basicaly like encountering a bike on the road. There absolutely needs to be some feedback for people to know about them, especially when they’re overtaking in traffic etc.
