Correct answer
- ASí, en todo caso.Yes, in all cases.
It is important to obey the traffic rules at all times, even when taking an injured person to hospital. The rules are designed to ensure the safety of all road users. Ignoring them could put in danger not only the injured person but also other drivers and pedestrians. So you must always drive carefully and follow the traffic rules, even in emergencies.
