Correct answer

  • CEstán prohibidas.Are prohibited.
Explanation

Clips that hold the seat belt so that it is less tight are not allowed: they leave slack that stops it fitting closely to the body and greatly reduce its effectiveness in a crash. Article 117 of the RGC requires it to be properly fastened.
