Correct answer

  • APorque está diseñada para evitar lesiones a los peatones.Because it is designed to prevent injuries to pedestrians.
Explanation

The front of a car is designed to reduce injuries to pedestrians if they are hit: the bonnet, bumper and front end absorb part of the energy of the impact. Adding rigid bull bars or other parts can cancel out that protection.
