Question 8179
Are vehicles allowed to be driven if the muffler is damaged and therefore does not perform its function effectively?
- Yes, but only on roads outside built-up areas.
- No, due to the noise pollution it produces.
- No, except motorcycles, which do not need a muffler.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, due to the noise pollution it produces.
No. A damaged muffler lets out more noise than allowed, and driving with a broken, incomplete, or unsuitable muffler is prohibited for all motor vehicles and mopeds, including motorcycles. It is not allowed on roads outside built-up areas either.
