'Acoustic cameras' test to cut noisy vehicles

[Still Waters]

Motorists with vehicles breaching legal noise limits could face fines if new "acoustic camera" technology is developed, the government has said.

The Department for Transport will test noise-detecting cameras in various locations over the next seven months.

The move comes after pressure from campaigners in rural communities who say some motorists illegally modify vehicles to amplify the sound.

A motorcyclist group said bikers must "embrace" the change.
