Correct answer

  • BEs recomendable y obligatorio hacer uso de él.Using it is recommended and compulsory.
Explanation

If your vehicle has rear seat belts, it is important that people sitting in the back use them too. In Spain they have been compulsory in all seats of passenger cars and on all types of road since 1992. A passenger thrown forward from the rear seat not only injures themselves but can also injure the driver or whoever is in the front seat.
