Show answer

Correct answer

  • AEl vehículo hace más ruido.The vehicle makes more noise.
Explanation

When the exhaust pipe is damaged, the vehicle's noise increases. This is because the noise reduction system is not working properly, which can be caused by a loose, damaged or wrongly fitted part. According to the General Traffic Regulations, any fault in the exhaust system that makes the noise level worse is an offence.
