Correct answer

  • CNo está prohibido, pero puede producir distracciones al conductor.It is not prohibited, but it can distract the driver.

Some studies say that drivers who smoke are involved in twice as many accidents as non-smokers. This is because lighting and putting out the cigarette, throwing away the match, and the carbon monoxide from smoking reduce the driver's ability to stay attentive.
