Correct answer
- ASí, es seguridad activa.Yes, it is active safety.
Yes, lighting is considered an active safety system of the vehicle, because its main job is to make sure the driver can see and to make the vehicle visible to other drivers. According to Article 16 of the General Vehicle Regulations, lighting devices are compulsory and essential for road safety, especially in poor visibility. This fits the definition of active safety, which covers systems designed to prevent accidents.
