Correct answer

  • CEl criterio del conductor debe prevalecer sobre las indicaciones del GPS.the driver's judgement must prevail over the GPS instructions.
Explanation

Under Spain's General Traffic Regulations, drivers must pay attention to their surroundings and not rely only on the GPS navigator's instructions while driving. This is because human judgement is needed to adapt to unexpected conditions or to changes in road signs that may not be updated in the navigation system.
