That depends on what you mean by "over-driven" Simply bumping up the
carrier power, will decrease your modulation, and will eventually
result in severe back swing. If it's excessive, the modulation will
also sound "fuzzy". At that point, it will be easy to see that it's
not a legal CB transmitter. But it may not be splattering all that
much.

If you bump up modulation to over 100%, then that will cause splatter,
which is also easily observed.
