Correct answer

  • ANo, como norma general.No, as a general rule.
Explanation

Article 18.2 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits driving with earphones connected to sound-playing devices. Motorcyclists are only allowed approved wireless devices built into the helmet for intercom or navigation purposes, not for listening to music.
