Correct answer

  • ASí, porque favorece la aparición de fatiga al volante.Yes, because it encourages fatigue at the wheel.

Excessive heat inside the vehicle encourages fatigue and drowsiness, reduces attention and lengthens reaction time. It is recommended to keep the inside between 21 and 23 °C; neither light clothing nor open windows remove this risk.
