Question 250 in the bank

Who is held responsible for a vehicle causing excessive noise?

  1. Correct answer: The vehicle’s driver.
  2. The vehicle’s manufacturer.
  3. The vehicle's owner.
  4. The garage that treats the vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: The vehicle’s driver.

The driver is responsible for excessive noise, because the driver operates the vehicle on the road and must make sure it does not create unnecessary noise, for example from a faulty exhaust, the horn or a sound system. Even if someone else owns the vehicle or a garage serviced it, the person actually driving is accountable for its condition and use.
