Correct answer
- ASí. Los cascos de colores claros son más seguros.Yes. Light-coloured helmets are safer.
The colour of the helmet affects how visible the rider is, especially in low light or poor visibility. Light-coloured helmets are easier for other drivers to see, which can help prevent accidents. This is part of the road safety rules that stress the importance of visibility for protecting motorcyclists, as stated in the Traffic and Road Safety Code, along with the importance of using suitable equipment. So the correct option is that light-coloured helmets are safer.
