Correct answer
- ASí, cuando el ruido supera los niveles permitidos.Yes, when the noise exceeds the permitted levels.
Traffic officers may immobilise our vehicle when it exceeds the levels of gases, smoke and noise legally allowed for each type of vehicle. They may also immobilise it for other reasons, for example when the vehicle is carrying too many occupants or when they suspect that the vehicle's control instruments have been tampered with.
