Correct answer

  • BSi, en general, ya que son sucesos predecibles.Yes, in general, because they are predictable events.
Explanation

Road accidents are generally predictable events. If they were truly 'accidental', they would depend only on the time spent at the wheel. But this is not so: certain circumstances of the vehicle, the road, the surroundings and, above all, the driver make an accident more likely or more serious. These circumstances are called 'risk factors'. By avoiding them we reduce the chance of a crash to a minimum.
