Thats why before you can get to put them on there are courses lasting several weeks that are *tough* and have no guarantee of passing, plus to get in a traffic car there are more courses that are even longer and tougher.
I am currently trying to find a survey that was done in the west end of newcastle about 10yrs ago about how much the police sirens disturbed people late at night ,i don't know if it will be on the net or not but it was done because of the noise complaints ,there where similar complaints about the copper chopper when we first got that
