Correct answer

  • CNo, ya que reduce la eficacia del cinturón.No, because it reduces the effectiveness of the seat belt.
Explanation

No. Clips that leave the seat belt slack mean that it does not hold the body back in time in a collision, and they increase the risk of injury and of submarining. The seat belt must fit close to the body, with no slack and no devices that change how it works.
