Driving advice

• Avoid distractions, putting the mobile in airplane mode, wearing the safety belt and well anchored minors in their child restraint systems, respect the speed established on the track and adapt it to the conditions of the same and of course do not get behind the wheel if alcohol or other drugs have been ingested.
