Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The louder the engine, the smaller the dick. I wish the same would happen here in the US. Those fuckers have self-esteem issues.
I 100% support your sentiment, but please consider reframing away from body-shaming in the future.

More surveillance is always bad.
Just ban all private cars from the cities. They can park outside and take the train or bus. No more noise complaints.
Train or bus.... outside of London? Are you fucking having a laff, mate?

I think this will solve itself as the electrical vehicle transition happens. Cars will become substantially quieter by default and at that point it will easy to adjust MOTs for ICE vehicles to meet more stringent noise levels.
The problem is likely after market cars and that market will likely persist.
Loud motorcycles, modded trucks, and the occasional rice rocket.
