Street racing and noise in the dead of night

Posted by GheistHund374@reddit | plano | View on Reddit | 38 comments

I can hear it from the north edge of town. I kinda want ppd to start grabbing the loud shit at night. Would make them hella money. It's a regular ocurrence even at 2-4am. I do not care that you're having fun. Go to 75 like a normal texan. If I wanted noise I would have picked a spot near the highway.

Where are you located OP?

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

Yes hello internet beeple. Here is my MAC address while we're at it lol.

badiban@reddit

Just wondering where in Plano you are. I’m in Frisco and I have similar complaints lol

[-]

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

Lol I'm on the north side. Y'all probably get mad noise from the run on eldorado, i would think. Though at least preston is not super inconvenient to drive down bc of that new signal on headquarters lol.

How do you find where the runs are? My best guest from what I can tell is it’s either Main, 121, or Preston. Or all 3

How do you say “get off my lawn” without saying “get off my lawn”…

I didn't go buy a house near TMS or something dude. It's a valid thing to complain about unwarranted road noise in a fucking suburb. We're not in houston; people are *supposed* to be civilized here

All these mufflers disabled cars.

One was a freaking Honda Civic.

Foundrynut@reddit

And now that vehicle inspections are no longer required. Oh the mods!

[-]

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

All of DFW still requires, no? FW is not excluded, iirc.

[-]

hertabuzz@reddit

Why are they no longer required? I moved out of state and just got back.

We used to have state inspections annually iirc

thephotoman@reddit

They stopped this year, though emissions testing is still required in populous counties.

I despise the constant noise we have now. Central Plano and its constant helicopters, planes, revved up cars, and various emergency vehicles. I used to love sitting outside after dark listening to nature w/only occasional city noise. 😞 I don’t need to be told this is what happens with suburban growth. I am fully aware of that. Doesn’t mean I like it.

plano in the 90s was surreal. so many crickets.

[-]

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

Still lotsa bunnies, but no crickets. NGL, I don't miss that. Used to come out of high point as a little kid ad there would just be a swarm eeeeerrywhere.

Key-Lecture-678@reddit

welcome to plano. heres your vape and student driver sticker

XperTeeZ@reddit

Lol right! And in case you run out there's a store on every corner that has plenty plus more... Even some open 24hrs...lol good places have mostly all stopped being open 24hrs and it's a necessity to live... But yet there are ecig shops open 24hrs...lol more of a necessity. 😔

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

Ad none of them are worth a damn. All made in china garbage. I miss the pre-regulation days. Things were much purer and we knew the entire supply chain.

[-]

GheistHund374@reddit (OP)

I cannot fucking stand the idiots with those stickers. Ah yes, your standard student driver in a mercedes that I know you're underwater on.

[-]

Sanchastayswoke@reddit

Lmao @ student driver sticker

I hear them around 10 pm on DNT

[-]

Luckyjuly777@reddit

I was hearing them a lot by Carpenter Park but not recently

[-]

SnooRobots7974@reddit

If you want ppd to do something then maybe you should start calling them every time it happens. And encouraging your neighbors to do so will also help.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"The cars! They're so loud! I can't sleep!"

"Ok. I'm going to need you to take a deep breath. Everything's going to be fine. Can you tell me where the cars are?"

"On the street, obviously!"

"I think you might be in shock and not understanding the question. Can you tell me where exactly the loud cars are located? Are they in front of your home?"

"I said the cars are loud, I can hear their loud car noises but I can't see them."

"If it's safe, can you look to see if they're outside your house?"

"You actually expect me to get out of bed?! It's bad enough the cars are waking me up because it's loud. Now you want me to look out my window!?"

"Well we need to know where this 'emergency' is before we can respond to it."

"Oh nevermind! I'll just post on Reddit instead!"

DPS typically handles enforcement of issues like that on Sam Rayburn and tollway

sleepyLynt@reddit

In lieu of therapy or emotional growth, some boys opt for the soothing roar of aftermarket exhausts, and seek the attention of other vroom vroom boys…PPD could and should monitor and attempt to enforce something because it’s a total nuisance to many citizens ears.

I hear it too and live with trees and other houses around far from highways. We need noise machines inside my house so my kid and dog don’t wake up because of muffler popping, and dangerous speeding on city streets.

They could save so much money (and we'd all sleep better) by just buying those penis-enhancement pills.

Current and former KC Chiefs athletes already have 75 reserved for carnage and death caused by their irresponsible decision making. The local chumps can’t use it :(
