Re: VB: Sound decibel meters in effect
There are supposed to be criteria for roadside testing. That means a certain RPM, certain distance and certain angle from the exhaust. So like many other things, it comes down to officer training and whether they are actually using the equipment properly. I haven't actually read the vehicle code (or whatever pertains to this), but most states with dB testing specify the test conditions so I'm assuming VA will be the same. Whether that means changing the vehicle code wording, I don't know. The worst thing that can happen is if the wording isn't specific enough and the test conditions are open to individual interpretation.
