   Is a bicycle fitted with a motor of no more than 0.5 kW considered a moped?

    In a driving school car during practical lessons, who is considered the driver?

    • ATanto el alumno como el profesor.Both the learner and the instructor.
    • BEl alumno, porque está al volante.The learner, because they are at the wheel.
    • CEl profesor, porque es responsable de los mandos auxiliares.The instructor, because they are responsible for the dual controls.
    Explanation

    According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), when someone is learning to drive, the driver is the person in charge of the vehicle's dual controls. At a driving school, this means that even though the learner is holding the steering wheel, it is the instructor who has final responsibility and controls the dual controls. This ensures safety during lessons and compliance with traffic rules. So the correct answer is that the instructor is considered the driver.
