Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly prohibited. According to the General Traffic Regulations, both motor vehicles and mopeds are forbidden from driving with a so-called 'open exhaust' (without an effective explosion silencer device). This prohibition applies to all public roads (urban and interurban) with the aim of controlling noise pollution and avoiding disturbance to other road users and citizens.
