Correct answer

  • BEs peligroso, porque reduce la eficacia del cinturón.is dangerous, because it reduces the effectiveness of the belt.
Explanation

Using clips to hold the seat belt is dangerous because it reduces its effectiveness. The seat belt is designed to spread the force of an impact evenly over the body. If a clip is used, the belt may not fit properly, which increases the risk of serious injuries in an accident.
