Correct answer
- BColocar tablas o gravilla delante de las ruedas motrices.Put boards or gravel in front of the driving wheels.
If the driving wheels spin in mud, accelerating hard only digs them in deeper. What works is putting something that gives grip in front of them, such as boards, branches or gravel, and moving off gently in a high gear. Pushing the car from the side is dangerous and does not usually get it out.
