Correct answer

  • BSí.Yes.
Explanation

If the helmet does not have a built-in device such as a visor that the rider can lower when they want, it is advisable, for their own safety and that of others, for motorcyclists and moped riders to wear safety goggles that protect their eyes from cold, wind, dust, insects, etc. A single speck of dust or an insect getting into the eye can make the rider lose balance and control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
