Sir.-I agree with Mrs H Roche's letter in Friday's Gazette, April 8, appealing to fellow drivers.

Can I also ask why some drivers, not just the young ones, are fitting extra loud exhaust systems to their cars?

It appears that once fitted they drive round Brighton Hill in the early hours disturbing the peace, along with those motorbike riders who seem to think it is fine to use the public footpaths around Brighton Hill as their own private road.

Please have a thought for the people who live here, and the children and others who use these paths, and show some concern for others.

-G Coventry, Brighton Hill, Basingstoke.
