May traffic officers immobilise a vehicle that exceeds the emissions levels legally permitted for its type?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. Article 104.1.h of the Traffic Act permits immobilisation when the vehicle exceeds regulated gas, smoke or noise levels. The former reference to Article 84 of the Traffic Regulations was incorrect and outdated. In this situation, Article 104.3 requires certification from the workshop designated by the officer that the permitted levels are no longer exceeded before the measure is lifted. A promise to repair it is insufficient.
