BDifficulty 2/5

Are vehicles allowed to travel if the silencer is damaged and therefore does not perform its function effectively?

Correct answer

No, because of the noise pollution it produces.

No. Vehicles subject to this requirement may not be driven with an ineffective, incomplete or damaged silencer, or an open exhaust. The system must limit noise in accordance with technical rules. Repair the fault before driving; there is no general exception for motorcycles or interurban roads.
