Correct answer
- CSí, las distracciones son una causa directaYes, distractions are a direct cause.
Yes, distractions are one of the main causes of accidents in this group. Together with lack of experience or skill, loss of attention (such as using a mobile phone or GPS, or looking at the scenery) greatly increases the risk of having an accident. It is also vital to remember that the General Traffic Regulations prohibit cyclists from riding with a headset or earphones connected to sound receivers or players, because this cuts the rider off from their surroundings and makes the distraction worse.
