Correct answer

  • ANo, pero es muy recomendable.No, but it is highly recommended.
Explanation

Wearing a one-piece leather suit is not compulsory according to the information provided. However, it is recommended, because leather can protect against burns from sliding on the road surface in a fall. Also, suits in eye-catching colours can help riders be seen more easily by other road users.
