Diversely put, an individual on a motorcycle demonstrated methods to secure a traffic citation and forfeit rights immediately.
In the city of Gomel, a local resident, aged 30, has found himself in hot water after performing a daring motorcycle stunt on a single wheel. The stunt, captured on video and shared on social media, has raised concerns about noise pollution and potential violations of traffic regulations.
According to current legislation, the maximum noise level of an exhaust system for motorcycles should not exceed 96 decibels (dB). However, the specific noise regulations for motorcycles in Gomel and Minsk, Belarus, could not be definitively ascertained from the available search results.
Generally, Belarus enforces noise limits for vehicles, including motorcycles, through national traffic and environmental laws. Violations usually result in fines or administrative penalties imposed by traffic police. For Gomel and Minsk specifically, it is likely that noise level standards follow Belarusian national regulations consistent with Eurasian Economic Union technical standards.
Common penalties for non-compliance include fines ranging from modest amounts (equivalent of tens to a few hundred USD) and may include warnings or mandatory technical inspections. Repeat offenders might face increased fines or vehicle restrictions.
The man in question was reportedly fined Br210 and had his driver's license suspended for six months. This incident serves as a reminder that violations of noise regulations are considered administrative offenses and are taken seriously by the authorities.
The problem of excessive motorcycle noise is a growing concern in Belarus, particularly in Minsk. To improve conditions for residents, quiet zones have been designated in Minsk's capital. From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM, restrictions on motor vehicle traffic apply on certain stretches of Independence Avenue and Lenin Street in Minsk.
Traffic rules prohibit the participation of modified vehicles or those with faulty exhaust systems in traffic without agreement with the State Auto Inspectorate. Motorcyclists racing along Minsk's main streets are a common issue, causing discomfort for many Belarusians, especially during the summer months.
For exact noise level thresholds, specifying decibel limits, and the precise penalty scale in Gomel and Minsk, it is recommended to consult Belarus’s Ministry of Internal Affairs or Environmental Ministry official regulations, local traffic enforcement authorities in Gomel and Minsk, or official Belarusian legal texts on road safety and environmental noise.
The GUVD Traffic Police Department of Minsk City Executive Committee has stated that drivers who exceed noise levels will face a violation with a penalty. It is crucial for motorcyclists to ensure their vehicles comply with the noise regulations to avoid penalties and maintain a safe and peaceful environment for all road users.
