Correct answer

  • ANo, están totalmente desaconsejadasNo, they are strongly advised against
Explanation

Clips that loosen the tension of the seat belt are strongly advised against: they create slack that, in a crash, lets the body move before it is held back, which reduces the effectiveness of the belt and can cause injuries.
