SFPD: Unsafe driving effort is working

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls Police say the unsafe driving campaign enforces all traffic laws not just motor noise violations.

Captain Rich Miller says there’s been some confusion about the effort to reduce loud exhaust.

Miller says police are holding free sound checks in June for cars, trucks and motorcycles.  City ordinance says motor vehicle noise is limited to 80 decibels measured from 25 feet.

Miller says police will hold free sound checks next month at the law enforcement center.

Miller says the sound checks are part of a larger effort targeting unsafe drivers with increased enforcement of all traffic laws.
