Correct answer
- CSí, en cierta medida, porque el estado del vehículo depende en parte del conductor.Yes, to some extent, because the vehicle's condition depends partly on the driver.
Explanation
Many faults that cause accidents, such as worn tyres or brakes in poor condition, can be prevented with good maintenance and by passing the vehicle inspection (ITV). As the vehicle's condition depends partly on the driver, the driver can to some extent prevent accidents caused by mechanical failures.
