Correct answer
- Cseguridad activa.active safety.
In the General Traffic Regulations and the Traffic and Road Safety Code, the elements that allow the driver to control the vehicle and prevent accidents while driving are classed as 'active safety'. The lights, tyres and brakes are essential devices that ensure visibility, grip and stopping of the vehicle; so they are part of active safety. Passive safety, on the other hand, includes devices that protect the occupants once a collision happens (seat belts, energy-absorbing structures, airbags). Eco-driving refers to systems aimed at reducing fuel consumption and emissions, but it does not directly affect control of the vehicle.
