~I am not sure if this point has been made before but "vehicles" are specifically exempt. (schedule 2 para 10 page 110).

This means that 200 lorries with large sound systems can go past my door making one hell of a racket - let's call it the Notting Hill Carnival - and do so perfectly legally - and one fiddle player can be fined £20,000 and/or get six months.

Ludicrous.
