Alexandria is a vibrant city based on history, culture, a waterfront and lots of tourism. If Virginia has money and space to build an arena then you have money and space to build new schools. Our school system is deplorable. It’s overcrowded. Think of your citizens before thinking about your quick money grab that eventually leads to an inevitable loss. We don’t want or need an arena. This is pure greed.

Instead of helping alleviate the problem of loud motor vehicle exhaust, HB 884 will actually make the problem worse in Planning District 8 if the 95db(A) allowable limit is not reduced in the bill. HB 884 is derived from the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) model legislation which seeks to legalize louder than OEM exhaust systems for the benefit of some companies it represents. 95dba exhaust systems produce sound at least 10 times more intense than the federally mandated 80db(A) for automobile OEM exhaust systems In addition the A-weighted measurements underestimate the perceived loudness, annoyance factor, and stress-inducing capability of noises with low frequency components. In many cases, aftermarket companies design their exhausts to maximize the low frequency component of the sound and advertise this fact as a major selling point. HB 884 and SB 714, as they now stand, will benefit certain companies but are detrimental to the quality of life and health of the great majority of the citizens of Planning District 8. I don't reside in that planning district, but for the aftermarket business this is just a foot in the door and it will attempt to expand this legislation to include the entire state. Reduce the allowed decibel limit to no more than the mid 80s and the legislature will be doing something to help the problem, not exacerbate it.

I support HB 883 and 884 because they will apply a $250 fine on tractor trailer drivers who modify their exhaust stacks on purpose to be VERY LOUD, vibrationally percussion felt and used as a tool of harassment towards smaller vehicle drivers that obey the 55mph speed limit on Route 17 in Fauquier County. Signs can then be posted that state the fine for this is $250.00 instead of where it is now at only $30.00 if the police even pull them over for it. On the police citation it would fall under the topic of "Equipment Failure", but it's NOT really failure all the time as it sometimes can be from the exhaust stacks internal components falling apart to muffle the sound. A tractor trailer driver will purposely modify the exhaust system in the following ways to PURPOSELY use it as a tool of Harassment towards other drivers and homeowners. 1. Install stacks that are much wider in diameter and can be x1 or x2 Exhaust stacks. This creates a more bellowing sound affect, kind of like a church piano organ but without the heavenly sounds. More like obnoxious adults that have personal issues it seems. 2. Removal of the top curved portion of the Exhaust stack that muffles the sound that State Police have informed me is known as a "Straight Stack" once top curved portion is removed. 3. Removal of internal baffling muffling component's. When these adjustments are made and a tractor trailer then uses their ENGINE BRAKES which is also known as a JAKE BRAKE it creates that LOUD noise and percussion wave that is heard for miles. If you are within 1000 feet of the trucker then you will also FEEL the blast wave as well as HEAR it coming thru walls of a home, windows and doors. It wakes children up from sleep at night, makes it hard to study school work or for anyone to sleep or focus. Truckers are supposed to use the normal quiet braking systems, but many will use the ENGINE Brake (Jake Brake) instead that were designed to be EMERGENCY downhill heavy load braking systems and DOES NOT wear out as quickly as normal quiet braking systems. When a trucker modifies their exhaust stacks to be purposely louder and then chooses to use their ENGINE Brakes (Jake Brakes) it creates the LOUD sound and wave percussion that NO ONE LIKES in society except for a trucker. A law exists that protects truckers from being harassed, however they are ALLOWED to harass other drivers to speed up past a established speed limit, or harass homeowners along roads. Dump trucks are also notorious for this problem, but typically it occurs because they let there exhaust stacks wear out and DO NOT maintain them which police refer to "Falling out of calibration". SB 883 and 884 will help this PROBLEM to stop in ALL of Virginia by raising the fine, and posting SIGNS to alert truckers NOT to do this. It's TIME for Virginia to fix another LONG term society problem. I am NOT anti-truckers, but I am against truckers harassing other drivers and homeowners like BULLIES. Cyber bullying exists and laws have been implemented to address that. These bills will help STOP the bullying in this way also. The ports of Virginia will be at full operating capacity in 2027 per VA Transportation Secretary Sheppard Miller statements at 2024 General Assembly. That will bring more truckers onto Route 17 to deliver cargo to the inland marine port in Front Royal Virginia. Many will most likely have modified exhaust stacks and use Jake Brakes.
