Explanation

Vehicles must not be driven while giving off electromagnetic interference, noise, gases or other pollutants above the set limits. Motor vehicles and mopeds must not be driven with a so-called open exhaust, that is, without the silencer. In general, if we give off noise, smoke or gases above the permitted levels, the police may immobilise the vehicle as well as fining us.
