Correct answer

  • BNo, si no tiene un dispositivo manos libres.No, if you do not have a hands-free device.
Explanation

In Spain, under the General Traffic Regulations, using a mobile phone while driving is prohibited unless you use a hands-free device. This is to make sure the driver keeps full attention on the road and can control the vehicle properly. The correct answer is the option about not having a hands-free device, because using a mobile phone without one is considered a distraction that puts road safety at risk. This rule aims to reduce accidents and ensure the safety of all road users.
