Correct answer

  • Caumentar la distancia con el vehículo que va delante.increase the distance from the vehicle in front.
Explanation

If the vehicle behind is too close, it is advisable to increase the distance from the one in front: that way, if you have to brake, you can do so more gently and gradually, and the vehicle behind has more room to stop. Article 54 of the RGC requires you to leave enough space to stop without a collision.
