Dado que el conductor de una motocicleta está situado en un punto más alto que los conductores de turismos, ¿pueden ser deslumbrados por los turismos que circulan en sentido contrario al circular de noche?

As a motorcyclist sits higher than car drivers, can they be dazzled at night by cars coming in the opposite direction?

  • ANo, porque el haz luminoso de los turismos nunca le llegará a deslumbrar.No, because the headlight beam of cars will never dazzle them.
  • BNo, porque al circular con casco la visera le protegerá totalmente de este peligro.No, because the helmet visor will fully protect them from this danger.
  • CSí, sobre todo si circula con casco provisto de una visera algo rayada.Yes, especially if their helmet visor is slightly scratched.

Correct answer

  • CSí, sobre todo si circula con casco provisto de una visera algo rayada.Yes, especially if their helmet visor is slightly scratched.
Explanation

The correct answer is: 'Yes, especially if their helmet visor is slightly scratched.' A scratched visor can cause distortion and reflections that make it harder for the motorcyclist to see, especially when facing the headlights of oncoming cars at night. It is important to keep the helmet visor in good condition to avoid dazzle and to see clearly at all times.
