Correct answer
- BNo, ya que anulan la eficacia del mismo.No, because they cancel out its effectiveness.
Explanation
No, because pressure regulators or 'clips' cancel out the effectiveness of the seat belt. The seat belt is designed to keep the occupant in place during an impact. If its operation is changed, it may not protect you, which could lead to serious injuries in an accident.
