If your vehicle makes a noise above the established limits, is it forbidden to drive it?
Preventive and Efficient Driving – Observation and Fuel Saving
Explanation
A vehicle that makes **noise above the established limits** cannot circulate. This is because excessive noise can be annoying and dangerous for other drivers and pedestrians.
- The **acoustic signals** of a vehicle, such as the horn, should only be used in specific situations, such as avoiding an accident or warning other drivers on roads outside the city. Their indiscriminate or excessive use is not allowed, as this could contribute to noise pollution.
- Traffic regulations establish that vehicles must comply with certain noise limits to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone on public roads. If a vehicle exceeds these limits, its circulation is prohibited until the necessary repairs are made to reduce the noise to acceptable levels.
Therefore, if a vehicle makes more noise than allowed, it is not authorized to circulate, and it is necessary to correct the problem before using it again on public roads.
