Correct answer

  • ASí, porque puede distraer al conductor.Yes, because it can distract the driver.
Explanation

The correct answer is 'Yes, because it can distract the driver'. According to the General Traffic Regulations, it is essential for drivers to keep their attention on the road and its surroundings. Any action that takes this attention away, such as trying to get an insect out of the vehicle, can create a danger both for the driver and for other road users. Distractions are one of the main causes of road accidents, and this is part of the principle of drivers' responsibility: they must avoid any situation that reduces their ability to drive.
