18-year-old causes noise chaos with dad's BMW - police strike!
Last night, an 18-year-old driver caused a stir in the quiet Kammergasse in Freising. The young man didn't do anything by halves with a borrowed BMW factory car from his father: he decided to turn night into day by pressing the accelerator in sport mode and cruising loudly through the streets. Of course, this didn't go unnoticed by the police, who became aware of the noise and waited for him at a traffic light Mercury reports.
Although driving fun was guaranteed, it quickly became apparent that not every neighbor on Kammergasse shared his passion for loud engine noises. In front of the officers, the novice driver appeared to be insightful and realized that his actions had not only caused a stir, but also caused discontent in the neighborhood.
Legal consequences and noise protection
Noise and its legal consequences are serious issues. Paragraph 117 of the Administrative Offenses Act (OWiG) regulates that actively causing noise or failing to take measures against noise can lead to fines. Violations can result in fines of up to 5,000 euros, especially if the generally recognized noise limits are exceeded Malkus describes. Noise is assessed objectively, i.e. not just what bothers the individual, but whether it actually significantly annoys others or even damages their health.
Especially in single-family or multi-family homes, there are clear quiet times, which apply particularly from 10 p.m. to 6 or 7 a.m. On Sundays and public holidays, louder activities like this are often completely forbidden NDR emphasized. It is all the more incomprehensible that this young man thought it would be a good idea to live out his love of fast cars during his naptime break.
A gauntlet for noise lovers
In this case, the administrative offense proceedings initiated against the 18-year-old could potentially have serious consequences. The person causing unnecessary noise could not only be asked to pay. The driver's image could also suffer as a result of this incident, because the love of the loud car will certainly not be met with enthusiasm in the neighborhood.
Overall, this incident shows that the freedom to have fun with a sports car at night sometimes has its limits - especially when it comes to the well-being of the neighbors.
