Correct answer

  • ASiempre, de día y de noche.Always, by day and by night.
Explanation

Special vehicles travelling at less than 40 km/h must make their presence known with the V-2 light signal, a rotating or flashing yellow light, by day and by night. Their low speed is a danger to other traffic, which must be able to spot them in advance.
