Correct answer

  • BSí; los de colores claros o brillantes hacen más visible al motorista.Yes; light or bright colours make the motorcyclist more visible.

Light or bright helmets make the motorcyclist more visible to other drivers, by day and by night, and being seen in time reduces the risk of a collision. Colour does not affect how well the helmet absorbs impacts.
