Correct answer
- BNo, sólo se pueden hacer ráfagas para los casos establecidos reglamentariamente.No, you may only flash your lights in the cases set out in the rules.
This is the correct answer because flashing your lights is only allowed in the cases set out in the rules. This means you may not use flashing lights or flash your headlights in general to warn other drivers, because it could cause confusion or dazzle other road users.
