Correct answer
- ANo. Produce contaminación acústica.No. It causes noise pollution.
Explanation
It is forbidden to drive when the engine gases, instead of passing through an effective silencer, come out through one that is incomplete, unsuitable or damaged (Article 7.2 of the General Traffic Regulations). The ban applies on all types of road and also to motorcycles and mopeds.
