Correct answer

  • CSí, afectan a la visión haciendo difícil distinguir los vehículos sobre el pavimento.Yes, they affect your vision and make it hard to make out vehicles on the road surface.
Explanation

Yes. Direct sunlight or its reflections dazzle you, reduce contrast and make it hard to make out vehicles and obstacles on the road surface. You should reduce speed, use the sun visor and sunglasses and increase your distance; switching on the main beam does not help at all and dazzles others.
