Correct answer
- CQue las luces oscilen mientras se circula y puedan deslumbrar.The lights sway while you drive and may dazzle others.
Explanation
A shock absorber in poor condition lets the body of the car bounce and pitch over uneven surfaces. As a result, the light beam moves up and down and can dazzle other drivers; the car also loses stability and the braking distance increases.
