- Michigan lawmakers want higher fines for loud cars with illegal exhaust systems
Michigan lawmakers are proposing legislation to increase fines for drivers with illegal exhaust systems, raising penalties from $100 to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for a second. The bill removes the requirement for law enforcement to measure exhaust noise before issuing citations and includes a provision allowing first-time offenders to waive fines by removing modifications. The proposal faces mixed reactions from residents and drivers.
