Noisy mopeds/scotters in ED

[Trueblue]

Is it me or are the mopeds becoming much noisier. Is there anyone else living around Bassano Street which is awoken around midnight by this one particular chap zooming up and down the street on his recently acquired toy. It is really starting to become tiresome, who has a bag of nails......

They do seem to have mini amplifiers attached to them to emphasise the awful racket they produce.

They must break some noise pollution laws?

I have a bag of nails, you want a handful?

Yep, he's gone past our house a couple of times. It makes me laugh the apparent effort that machine makes to propel him along at 12 miles per hour

He will very soon knock someone over as he speeds long the footpath so that access to his gate is easier.

Why don't you confront him in the street TB and knock him off his hairdryer? Mind you, you want to be careful you may get stabbed. Such is the way.....

[MadWorld74]

On a more serious note TB why don't you put a note through his door and say you're speaking on behalf of the whole street; that you've spoken to all the neighbours in the immediate area and they are all backing you. (Don't put your name or where you live it can be anonymous !) Maybe if he thinks the whole street is after him AND watching him, he'll play elsewhere?

Sugar in the tank?

Thanks for the feedback, i think the letter is the first step.

[MadWorld74]

You could always type it up (chicken way I know!) and then post it through the system. If you feel a bit dodgy about going up to his front door. Depends on what kinda guy you're dealing with...

Good Luck.

A young chap used to do the same thing down our way, as his mates watched when they got back pissed late from the pub every night. It appears a local anonymously rendered his wheelz temporarily dysfunctional.

Rather dimly, he fixed it and then started the same game all over again. Two nights later I saw same bike early one morning dismembered in a skip up the road. I was thoroughly impressed by the sense of social responsibility that allowed the night visitor to put the remains in a skip rather than the owner's front garden!

It stopped then ;-)
