Show answer

Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

You cannot drive a vehicle that gives off more smoke than is allowed, because this points to a fault in the exhaust or emissions system and is a risk to health and the environment. Driving in these conditions is prohibited on any road, whether it is temporary or not, and whether in town or on the open road. Keeping the vehicle in good condition and within the emission limits is compulsory under traffic and road safety rules.
