1) Jake brakes are too loud by Anonymous Citizen on July 9, 2008
I live in Charlotte near a major intersection. When a semi-truck approaches the traffic light and the light turns red, these semi-trucks love to use their jake brakes. They shake the house and are very loud. We get this noise from all 4 directions. The city of Charlotte will do nothing about it. I am for this law.
