Can traffic agents proceed to immobilize a vehicle if it emits smoke above the permitted limits?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, traffic agents can immobilize the vehicle. According to Traffic and Road Safety Laws, a vehicle will be immobilized when it presents deficiencies that constitute a particularly serious risk to road safety or when it exceeds the legally permitted levels of gases, smoke, or noise. This measure is taken regardless of whether the vehicle is old or whether it is being driven on urban or interurban roads, as environmental and safety regulations take precedence.
