Correct answer

  • CSí, siendo aconsejable no conducir de noche.Yes, and it is advisable not to drive at night.
Explanation

Depression, and often the medicines used to treat it, make drowsiness and fatigue more likely and reduce attention. That is why it is advisable to avoid driving at night and making long journeys, when sleepiness sets in more easily, and to consult a doctor if you are taking medication.
