Correct answer

  • ASí, por su seguridad.Yes, for their safety.
Explanation

According to Article 118 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), moped riders and passengers must wear an approved helmet and closed footwear on all types of roads, and protective gloves on roads outside built-up areas. Gloves protect the hands in a fall.
