Is it permitted to drive a vehicle that exceeds established noise limits, even if it does not emit polluting gases?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is NO. According to General Vehicle Regulations, both gas emissions and noise levels are strictly regulated. A vehicle cannot be driven if it produces electromagnetic disturbances or emits noise exceeding the limits established by law, even if its gas emission levels are correct. All motor vehicles must be equipped with an effective explosion silencer device to prevent noise pollution. Driving with an 'open exhaust' or an ineffective silencer is prohibited and subject to penalties.
