Noisy vehicles, uncaring teenagers irk Jackson resident
It is winter with the doors and windows shut tight to keep out the cold, but it no longer keeps out the ever increasing noise. This town does nothing to enforce the noise law codes.

It seems that every time a teenager in this town gets a driver's license, it enables them to buy the loudest muffler system and break all speed laws in their neighborhoods. If a homeowner can hear the noise in the winter, I dread the coming spring with the windows and doors open.

I not only blame the law enforcement in this town, I go directly to the parents who allow their children to break these laws.We are supposed to be educating our children about pollution and global warming, yet these same children show no regard for the future of their planet.

Using one's own street in the neighborhood where they live as a drag strip for their noisy and gas-guzzling cars is not only reckless, but it shows that these children are learning nothing about their own future.

I do not understand the mentality of a person who needs to speed up and down the block, wasting gas and making noise to put on a show because they are now old enough to own a car.

I do not understand the mentality of their parents to allow it. I do not understand the mentality of the parents of these children who not only allow their own children to do this and at the same time let their homes become hangouts for the 10 to 20 other friends in these same cars that congregate there.

Law enforcement in this town needs to enact the noise

pollution and traffic safety

laws on these new drivers because their parents do not have enough sense to lecture their children about the pollution and safety of owning a vehicle.
