    Default Is it illegal to play loud music?

    My mate Jonty got pulled by the police last week and they told him his music was too loud is this really illegal or were they just being awkward with him? He was speeding thats why he was pulled over but they told him off about the music too.

    Like Epo said - but I thought it was between 23:00 and 07:00.

    Something about being anti-social.

    yep, its about anti social behaviour or noise pollution. i think it runs under the same guidelines as using the car horn at night. says in the high way code.
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright
    until you hear them speak.

    Yes it is, you can get given a written section 59 notification against your car and then if you were to do something they didnt like again (pip your horn at night) your car can be compounded :!:

    Acouple of months back an evo got compounded in notts. Warning was for music and they compounded the car for swerving in and out of lanes :o Or something along those lines anyway.

    Fact is, they can do owt they like.
