If the exhaust silencer of your moped breaks down and makes excessive or annoying noise, is it permitted to ride with it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The traffic regulations and the General Vehicle Regulations strictly prohibit riding mopeds or motor vehicles with an open exhaust, as well as without an effective exhaust silencer or with it altered or faulty. If the silencer breaks down and generates noise exceeding the authorized limits or causing annoyance to other users or neighbors, the moped must not be ridden on public roads under any circumstances until it is repaired. The roadworthiness test (ITV) stations do not grant permits to ride with noise faults, nor is there any exception for time of day.
