Correct answer
- ASí, si el ruido supera los niveles permitidos.Yes, if the noise exceeds the permitted levels.
Yes, police officers may immobilise a vehicle that makes excessive noise if it exceeds the permitted levels, as set out in Article 7 of the General Traffic Regulations. This article forbids driving vehicles that emit noise above the set levels, which affects safety and coexistence on public roads. So immobilisation is a suitable measure to ensure the rules are followed and to protect other road users.
