Correct answer
- BSí, cuando se trate de dispositivos certificados u homologados para su uso en el casco de protección.Yes, if they are devices certified or approved for use in the protective helmet.
Under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), specifically the article on the use of devices while driving, motorcycle riders are allowed to use certified or approved wireless devices built into the protective helmet. This is to make sure that they do not interfere with safe driving and that using them does not require the hands. So the correct answer is yes, they can use them, as long as they are certified devices. This is in line with road safety rules that aim to minimise the risk of distraction while driving.
