Correct answer
- CPeligroso, porque reduce la eficacia del cinturón.dangerous, because it reduces the effectiveness of the seat belt.
Explanation
Clips that keep the seat belt loose are dangerous: they leave slack that delays restraint, so in a crash the body moves before the seat belt acts and may hit the steering wheel or the dashboard. They do not complement the airbag.
