Correct answer

  • APorque suele estar diseñada para evitar lesiones a los peatones.Because it is usually designed to prevent injuries to pedestrians.
Explanation

Modifying the front of a vehicle is forbidden not only because the rules say so, but also because vehicles are designed so that, if they hit a pedestrian, the injuries are as minor as possible. If we modify this part, we can cause very serious injuries to people in collisions or when hitting pedestrians.
