Correct answer
- ASí, siempre.Yes, always.
Explanation
When the carriageway is wet, vehicles have less grip, which can cause skids or much longer stopping distances than on dry roads (braking distance increases). That is why drivers must take these factors into account and reduce their speed according to the road conditions.
