Correct answer

  • ASí, cuando no comprometa la estabilidad del vehículo.Yes, when it does not make the vehicle unstable.
Explanation

The load carried in a vehicle, and any accessories used to pack or protect it, must be arranged and, if necessary, secured so that they cannot make the vehicle unstable. Putting things on the roof rack increases air resistance and therefore fuel consumption, so whenever we can, we should put things in the boot.
