Question 1924

Are you allowed to drive your vehicle if it emits smoke?

  1. Yes, as long as it is not due to a mechanical fault.
  2. No, it is prohibited if the emissions exceed the established limits.
  3. Yes, because the smoke poses no danger.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited if the emissions exceed the established limits.

Smoke emissions prohibit a vehicle from being driven when they exceed authorized levels. The prohibition depends on those limits, not simply on whether the smoke results from a breakdown.
