Why Loud Motorcycle Pipes Are Good to Have

If you have ever ridden a motorcycle, chances are you’ve heard the phrase “loud pipes save lives.” If not, you might have listened to a motorcyclist say it in defense of their loud exhaust pipes. So, is this statement true?

Well, this statement does hold the truth.

Attentive Driving is More Than Looking

Depending on who you ask, you may receive a different answer. Some may say that the noise is unnecessary, and those people are usually drivers who don’t or have never ridden a motorcycle.

However, motorcyclists are the ones that know the dangers they face every time they ride due to drivers not noticing them or paying attention to their surroundings.

Being an attentive driver also means more than just “looking.” Your sense of hearing is one of your greatest assets when driving defensively. Think about how many times you first notice an ambulance by hearing sirens. The same goes for motorcycles with loud exhaust pipes: they help gain unaware drivers’ attention and prevent potential motorcycle accidents.

There are other ways for motorcyclists to be noticed. Still, the fact remains that sometimes drivers are not visually paying attention to their surroundings and certainly not consistently and actively looking for motorcycles on the road.
