The traffic statistics are generally such that there is more traffic every year, which is perfectly understandable, but I would like to highlight a particular type of traffic here, and that is motorcycle traffic, or motorcyclists and quadricycles. There is significantly more of this every year compared with other types of traffic, and this type of traffic is predominantly carried out for the purpose of enjoying the ride and has no other necessary or economically justifiable basis whatsoever. In 2007, just over 70 000 single-track vehicles were registered in Slovenia, up from 100 000 last year.
The consequences of this way of relaxing and enjoying oneself are felt by residents and visitors or tourists in the countryside, particularly in the Alpine valleys and passes. Quiet villages on fine afternoons and weekends turn into an intolerably noisy environment with hundreds of motorists seeking relaxation on the country roads, causing us danger, noise, nervousness, stress and, last but not least, excitement. Causing a nuisance is a criminal offence in law! I should also mention that many motorcyclists have cameras installed to record the so-called action "GoPro" cameras, which they also use to record us and our private property.
Few motorcycles are driven in a nice smooth, calm, controlled manner and few make as much noise as the average car at the same speed. The manufacturers and dealers who put such noisy engines on the market also have a significant responsibility in this respect. Most of them drive in a way that accelerates wildly out of a corner, then brakes before the corner, then accelerates wildly forward again. There is thunder from the tailpipes, there is the smell of petrol fumes, and I think we are a mature enough society to be able to start condemning this.
Proposal for a solution: the relevant institutions and authorities in the country should think carefully about adopting a regulation stating that single- and four-wheel motor vehicles must not exceed the noise level generated by an average family car in its operation and driving.
The relevant authorities should adopt an amendment to the roadworthiness test regulations, where noise should also be measured and a limit set that does not exceed the noise level of the average family car.  
We want to feel safe in our home town, we want to offer peace to tourists and visitors and, last but not least, we want to offer peace to ourselves.
Greetings!
