Is it permitted to ride if you find that your moped is emitting an excessive amount of smoke?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The traffic regulations flatly prohibit driving motor vehicles and mopeds whose emissions of gases, smoke or noise exceed the legally authorized limits. A moped that gives off a lot of smoke degrades air quality, harms the environment and often reflects a breakdown or a mechanical fault (such as too much oil in the mixture or poor combustion), so riding in those conditions leads to fines and even immobilization of the vehicle. Riding on the shoulder or keeping the noise under control does not exempt you in any case from complying with the emission limits.
