Correct answer

  • CSí, porque reduce la capacidad para maniobrar.Yes, because it reduces your ability to manoeuvre.
Explanation

Smoking at the wheel reduces your ability to manoeuvre, because the driver is distracted by holding, putting out or lighting the cigarette. In addition, the smoke can reduce visibility and irritate the eyes. It also increases the risk of fire, especially if cigarette ends are thrown out of the window.
